Travel Day From Hell

May 29th was a day that most of us were not looking forward to for a while. Today was known as the “travel day from hell”. The morning started off normally waking up and going to get breakfast in the hotel, which was pretty standard. Then we got onto a bus at 9:20 a.m. from the hotel in Switzerland and enjoyed a half hour bus ride to the Geneva airport for a flight that left at 1:00 p.m. to Munich. We got to the airport and checked our bags, which was a pain. Some people’s bags were a little bit too heavy and depending on who was checking you in this became a problem. My bag weighted in at 23 kg, which is 3 over what they allow, by the guy at the counter said he would let it slide. Someone else’s bag weighted in at 22 kg and the person behind the desk made them take out 2 kg worth of things to have the bag make weight.

Once all that was worked out we went though security and had some time to relax. This was a great time for me to finally finish a book that I have been reading for a while now. I wont go into detail about the book but I will just say Tucker Max wrote it and if you don’t know who that is then that is probably a good thing. Then we got on the plane and flew to Munich. Once in Munich we only had a half hour to switch planes good thing that gate that we needed was pretty much right next to the one that we came into. Then we got on the flight from Munich to Athens which was not too long nor was it too bad and I still didn’t understand why this was the travel day from hell yet. Then once we got into Athens I understood why. We had to take an over 4-hour bus ride from Athens to Olympia. We have been traveling all day the last thing I want to do is sit on a bus for over 4 hours. The ride was long but we finally made it to Olympia at 12:30 a.m. After this day I can understand why it is considered the travel day from hell and I am so happy we don’t have to do anything like that again because it sucked.
