Day 1 - 26.07.15 - Cheese and Egg

I am writing this cruising at so many thousand feet over the Dutch air space :) We set off for Manchester airport at 12:00 GMT. Bit of traffic on the way up so travelling time took 2 and a half hours!! We had to drop our fallen comrade Alex off at her house in Manchester first and then headed to the airport. 
Getting out of the lift onto the wrong floor didn't bode well for the rest of our trip.  Check in went relatively smoothly apart from the massive trek to baggage inspection because apparently we looked very dodgy. 
Perhaps we do. 
Kelsey had very kindly booked us into the Escape VIP lounge at Manchester Terminal 1 so whilst waiting for our gate to open, we helped ourselves to unlimited food and drink!! We got lost on the way to the gate - outlook of making it home after 5 weeks looking even worse. We took off at about 17:55 GMT and are due to land at 20:25 German time. We have to get two flights in order to get to Kuala Lumpur so this first one goes to Frankfurt where we spend 2 hours before getting our next flight. On the flight there are complimentary sandwiches and drinks. However, the Germans thought cheese and egg would be a fantastic combination. We're not so sure. We are yet to try it and haven't got our heads around it!
I shall leave you with a picture of my view:

Our first flight was delayed which meant a mad rush to get on our next flight... aka Me and Kelsey panicking and running to the gate, Sophie just calmly strolling. We are now waiting to take off from Frankfurt to Kuala Lumpur, due to land at 16:05 Malaysian time. 
Sophie's verdict on the sandwich - "it wasn't my favourite".
