Made it..

Sorry i haven´t been writing at all these last couple of days. To start with my brand new phone stopped working (error 21) and its from the phone i usually blog. If anyone knows how to get rid of ”error 21″ please do comment and help a brother out. Atleast now i have a story for U.

I was supposed to fly home from Bilbao at 07.25 am on Sunday but wanted to change it to Saturday instead. Called up Marina travels, (never use them) and they said im on the same plane as Daniel Blom from Bilbao at 07.25 am Saturday. We wake up at 4am to drive to Bilbao. Get there, drop the rentalcar off and go to the ticket counter. ”Hello, i changed my flight for this morning, am i on?” She answers -Uuuuhh, i cant find u on here.. Ohhh, hold on. There u are, u are flying tonight at 7pm. Me- U gotta be kidding me, is there any way i can get home earlier? Her- Nope, every flight is fully booked until then.

Great, so now i have 12 hours to kill in Bilbao. I get a cab into town and get a dayroom at a hotel. Went back in good time to not miss the only flight thats left to Frankfurt so i atleast get to Stockholm. Get there, check in, everything is running smooth. Go into the VIP lounge to grab something to drink and watch the Argentina-Germany game. All of a sudden i hear 2 really familiar voices at the counter of the VIP lounge saying.. -We both have silvercards, can we get in? I turn around and there are Freddy Austbo and Markku Koski two of the people ive been with all this trip. We sit down and talk about what happened to me and realized we are all going to the capitals of our countries and we all have pretty much the same boardingtime in Frankfurt which is 40 minutes after we where supposed to land.

This is when it happens, our flight got delayed 50 minutes because of bad weather in Frankfurt. Me and Freddy where both on a really tight connection already so we were pretty much fucked. Markku on the other hand had 30 minutes more then us.

On the plane they say, -Flight to Oslo is waiting for all passengers on this plane. Freddy was one of them. He made it. Markku and I were on the same bus to the drop of gate and had the gates next to each other. But, my flight should have been gone 15 minutes ago, Markku still had 15 before he´s left. We get out in terminal B, watch the screens. DAMN, my flight is not leaving until 5 more minutes, its delayed aswell. Me and Markku starts running, i mean RUNNING! I loose Markku around half ways because i was running for my life.  Half ways is probably around 800m. I run and run and run, all of a sudden i see Freddy infront of me running aswell. Im like -What are u doing, did u miss your flight??? Freddy, yeah and now im running to your gate to see if u will make it or not. So we keep running, jump onto one of the passengercars without the girl knowing it. Get e free ride for 200m before she stopped. Kept running, oh there is Markkus gate, he’s gonna get on for sure. People just started boarding. Mine is 2 gates away, it looks empty, really empty. Im fucked. I start walking after running the most and the fastest ive done in a while. Then i see a Lufthansa lady waving her arms at me, -Are u coming from Bilbao?? I start jogging again. Yes, its me. I made it!! A brief bye bye to Freddy and of onto my plane.

Freddy, wherever u are. Go party in Frankfurt, Germany just won 4-0 its gonna be sick!

Markku, hope u made it and didn´t pass out on the track and field we did!

So stoked to make it!

What a day.
