Ryan air departs from Terminal 2 at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon. It was very busy as so many people were travelling through this airport. 

The flight was delayed but we found ourselves a cosy spot in a cafe and settled in. While waiting, Scott ran into the young man that sat next to me on our earlier flight from Berlin to Lisbon. Coincidentally he had booked exactly the same seat on the way back. We were like old friends, chatting freely.

I was disappointed when we boarded the plane, the extra legroom seat that I had paid for Scott to stretch out had been replaced with a seat. 

Not impressed!!! If I had known, I would have booked seat 1A instead 🤬. 

I will reconsider booking with Ryanair in the future but then it is a budget airline and you get what you pay for! 

After just over 3 hours, we were back in Berlin Brandenburg airport at around midnight and to our dismay there were no ride share cars in the large car park designated for these vehicles. 

So the local train was the next option. After about a 30 minute journey to Ostbahnhof we alighted and found a ride share car to complete the trip home. Being so late at night we had to settle on a parking space about 2 blocks away from Scott’s unit and walk the rest of the way after midnight.

Once home, we were exhausted and welcomed sleep. 

Tuesday was an easy day. We walked down to the Edeka supermarket and bought supplies for Scott to make a Chicken Noodle Soup.

He was busy cooking while I relaxed with a Bloody Mary. Everything was delicious!

I needed to book  my travel from Berlin to Frankfurt for my flight home. Since my flight wasn’t until Monday night, I decided to fly to Frankfurt on the Monday afternoon. Lufthansa had the most direct flights so I booked the 1 hour flight. The cost of the flight was very expensive but I realised that Germany discouraged short flights due to its commitment to environmental sustainability. A train would’ve been much cheaper but navigating with luggage from station to station was undesirable. 

I finally got to make a hairdressing appointment for Wednesday at a salon around the corner from Scott’s place. Dry Shampoo is a must when travelling to manage one’s style between hair stylings! 

We were enjoying some down time over the next couple of days and planned to drive to Leipzig on Friday.

Guten Nacht
