We took TAP airlines, and we were very unimpressed with the televisions. The not yet out on DVD movies we were expecting were non-existent and instead we couldn't even hear our cable tv. So we drowned our sorrows with the unlimited wine and our pasta and 2 rolls. We were so excited, we didn't even fall asleep but for the last hour.
Luckily our carb-loading paid off, because the Lisbon airport entailed a marathon. We had only 45 minutes until our next flight, and we spent about 20 minutes hiking through the airport. The next 20 minutes entailed waiting in 2 lines, one of which we later realized was customs. We made it to our airplane with 5 minutes to spare, but little did we know one important thing was left behind in Lisbon. Liz and I crashed on our 2.5 hour flight into Zurich, status-post unlimited TAP wine.
We made it to Zurich and went to collect our bags. This is when we found Emmamuelle who had arrived earlier in the morning! We waited for the bags, and then realized that although Liz had hers, mine would not be making an appearance. I rarely check my bags, but this one time was all it took. Adios red backpack.
Although they could not locate the whereabouts of my bag, they insisted it would be delivered the next morning. So, off I went, with my new bag in tow (see picture.) Emmanuelle's dad was waiting for us outside and we hopped in his car for a 2 hour drive to his place, in Andermatt.
Now Andermatt is quite the adorable little town. Population 1200. At the base of the Swiss Alps. And freezing as can be when you venture out in your outfit from Miami. Luckily, I borrowed one of Mr. Topiol's coats on our second outing in town.
