We had an amazingly smooth journey to Germany, there was no traffic on the way to Hannover airport. We checked in seamlessly, zipped through security, boarding was fast paced, we caught a head wind arriving earlier than expected. All of this should’ve made me feel happy, it didn’t. I felt uneasy, it was going too well. As we hopped off the bus in the car park I found the car first and.... it had a flat.
GO was straight onto the recovery company, someone would be with us in two hours! I knew (ish) how to change a tyre I loosened the nuts, GO jacked up the car, and it wouldn’t budge. Bearing in mind it was muddy, we were travel weary we decided to wait the two hours.
I couldn’t play on my phone because I wanted to save the battery, so quickly I got bored. I walked around the car park, I must have looked quite shifty. Bus drivers kept stopping to ask me if I was okay. I walked along the road to the motorway bridge (my sinlaw told me it was quite a dodgy place and I could’ve been mugged) and back. Luckily I had left my wellies in the car so I had lots of fun jumping in puddles. As I got back to GO and the car I checked my watch, is only been gone fifteen minutes.
Eventually the guy arrived and he was there for about eight minutes he slammed the tyre and was able to heave it off. Just needed brute force. He had been told that it was a recovery job (GO had said that we had two flat tyres! Why?).
All in all a great end to a blah! 2017
