On the way there

Ok so....start at the beginning.


We left just before lunch to Toronto, were we met up with Jer's brother and his girl friend.
Uneventful flight.
From Toronto we got on a flight to Frankfurt, Germany. We had a 14 or so lay over. We decided that instead of trying to find a place to sleep in the airport we would tour the town for a bit first. It was raining....but we didn't care.




































































Then we slept and hung out in the airport....got soooo sick of the Frankfurt airport....never need to see it ever again.
At around 10:30 we were supposed to catch a flight to Addisabba, Ethiopia. Yeah SUPPOSED TO. We were warned that it had started snowing and that our flight might be canceled or post phoned...but it ended up that they thought we would take off.....NO.

They loaded us into the plane in hopes that we would still take off...we all thought that it was a possibility....NOPE. We sat on the plane for about 4 to 5 hours waiting for them to reopen the airport and clear the runway of snow. Then we waited another 2 to 3 hours for the plane to get de-iced. Guess Ethiopia airlines is the last in line for this kind of stuff in Frankfurt. It SUCKED!!!!

So we missed our flight from Addis to Lusaka. We took off early morning from Frankfurt and got at Addis late afternoon. Side note:: they were expecting to feed us a supper meal as soon as we got on the plane....but waited....so there for we got asked "chicken or fish" for breakfast...Jer says that he could have chicken slathered in gravy everyday for breakfast. lol.

We thought once we got to Addis we would have to arrange our own hotel for the night, ride to the hotel, the flight the next day and everything.....NOPE... we walked off the plane, got into the Ethiopian airport and they had it all arranged for us. The hotel, the ride and the boarding passes for the next day. The unfortunate thing is that it took away one night in Ndola. Booo.
