It has been a while again since I have written anything here...been so busy planning the trip to Kenya...Finally yesterday the day came but also the stupid snowstorm...it surely was a chaos here in Stockholm No buses were moving, neither were the taxis able to come and pick people up from their home places coz the roads were not ploughed...my husband went to work at 3 am yesterday morning and he worked until 8 pm in the evening and still the snow was just falling falling. We started panicking in the morning with my mum...just by looking outside....
Our backyard looked like that in the morning and it was not yet enough....so...I started calling the airport because the news were saying that it is completely closed and no flights are going...KLM told that their flights are going so ours should be in time but maybe with some small delays...well...hours went...our taxi never showed up...so many traffic jams and accidents, roads uncleaned...and I am telling you...there was like half a meter of snow on the roads...there was no way that we were even able to walk outside with our luggage..we were completely trapped. Taxis were calling my mum that ok, now we have gotten you another taxi and it is coming...but no taxis showed up. Finally our friend was willing to help us that he takes us with our car...well, our car was also stuck and there it was...I tried to check if we can change the ticket for today and at first that was like impossible...KLM could not help coz we have booked the tickets from Flygpoolen..they told us to contact there...well...I tried but they don't have a number, only contact form in their webpage and there it was like I have to pay 100SEK per person to ask them the question and get an answer....like whaaaaaaaat? So, I should've paid 500SEK just to get an answer if we can change the ticket or not....no way...so..we called to KLM several times with my mum...to my mum they told also that they can't help unfortunately...so we were really panicking now....what to do...ok, but we saw then that the flights are delayed for like 2 hrs so it gave us hope that we might get there in time. :) We cancelled the taxis...I really prayed God for help now with our matter and I told that this is now up to Him to fix for us...we can't do more than we have done.
And surely HE the Almighty came to our rescue...AGAIN! :) I called once more to KLM and asked what we should do with the connection flight because we cant make it to that if we leave in the evening..like 2 hrs late...the woman was so nice and helpful and she just said...it's better we book u seats for tomorrow (that is today) and everything worked out so smoothly!!! I was like what, are you for real? YOu can change the tickets? :) She said yes, but that I have to contact Flygpoolen then to get the e-tickets again....I tried to contact them but they have calling hrs only from 10-14....so I left it for today...and now I just did call there but they just referred to their webpage...as usual! :P....Luckily I was able to send a FREE question and they answered fast enough...but now they said that I have to contact KLM again...like whaat? :P I think it is better for us to just leave now and go to the airport! :)
Shiko and her kids are now on their way :)....So we see them again in Nairobi :)
Keep your thumbs up now for us please! :) Thanks!
