Deutschland here we come!

So we've done everything that london has to offer so we pack our bags, say our goodbyes and set our alarm clock so that we can make the plane on time. There's a catch...
our alarm clock is my mobile
if one takes the battery out of the mobile it makes current time = 00:00
if one does not notice this there can be problems
luckily we have a cousin who's on the ball and at about 5 minutes before we have to leave the house to make our plane she comes in and says "so are the two of you going or what?". Picture that cute little Warner Bros. character - tassie devil, that was us stuffing the last things into our bags and our the door - made it to the plane too.

Arrived in Frankfurt no problems, except that for about an hour my uncle could not be found... well he could and it would have been in another terminal but we managed to track each other down so all was good.
