From Beauvais with love

hej hej everyone around... it's been quite a long time ever since I last wrote the latest blog post here...
the last 15 days I have been studying "seriously" for my exams back in Spain. By seriously I mean not partying 4 times a week here in Linköping but whenever everybody went to HG, Plata, etc I went home in order to be rested for the next studying day... So that has been my routine here the last 2-3 weeks.

I flew to Madrid last Saturday from Skavsta to Beauvais and then to Madrid. The price of the ticket and the nearness of Skavsta (only 1h30) by direct bus from Linköping were the reasons to choose this route but know I have "sufferer" the "auto-transfer" experience I am seriously questioning the posibility of repeating it... On my way to Madrid I would have to wait in Beauvais 6 hours but that was something I was already prepared for so it was boring boring booooooooooring but at least I knew about. But coming back to Sweden has been an exhausting travel! After having slept for 4 hours in the last 48h in Madrid (an exam, meeting friends, going out for dinner) I was really looking foward to sleep on the planes (Madrid- Beauvais, Beauvais-Skavsta) and getting early in the afternoon to Linköping and then sleep for the rest of the afternoon to be ready for the Plata reentré night (also known as the Long Island Iced tea night). I landed in Beauvais on time (8am) but the flight to Skavsta at 9.30 am as well as all of the flights departuring from Beauvais were cancelled because of the densed fog. We were told we would be rearrenged in the flight at 12.30pm but that flight didn't take place either... I was terribly tired, unable to find a place where to take a nap, having to carry around my hand luggage which was now incredibly heavy due to the 4bottles (2gin, 1tequila,1rum) I had just bought in the dutty-free...

I had already tested all of the creams, stared at all of the Paris souvenirs, gone to the toilet, read magasins,... Beauvais is too small for more than 2h!!!!!! and more over, the boarding hall is toooooooo small to hold all of the passangers from 5 cancelled flights (Pisa, Rome, Oslo, Varsovia, Skavsta)... and still more ppl coming in! :S

They finally decided to "evacuate" the boarding hall and we were all in the checking area which is still too small for the amount of ppl we were... I finally got a new boarding pass for the flight to Skavsta which was departuring at 3.30pm... that means a delay of 6h!!!! I managed to sleep during the second period in the boarding hall and then again on the flight...
but the best was still to come: we arrived at Skavsta at 5.40pm whenever the shuttle to Linköping had left 10min ago, W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L having to wait 2h for the bus to come was just what I needed...

the best part of the day: having lovely friends who cook and are capable of saving a warm dish for you whenever you're hungry, too tired to prepare anything to cook :)))) and the best, the comforting chat u have after a couple of days away, I LOVE PARMIGIANO REGGIANO CORRIDOR!

ps.- please don't leave...
