Frankfurt - Kuala Lumpur

We woke up in the morning to a magical surprise - it had snowed overnight - on our last night in Germany!

Here's what the view out our hotel window looked like the day before:

Here's what it looked like the morning after (yes it was pretty early, but the snow ploughs had already been through clearing roads and paths):

We packed up and caught a taxi to the airport. We weren't sure how much snow would ground planes, so were half prepared to not go anywhere, but thankfully it wasn't blizzardous, so the planes were still flying. Breakfast was McDonalds - classy.

Once we were on the plane they used a high pressure hose filled with something to hose down the aeroplane's wings so it was safe to take off. The whole time we were thinking how much our son would love to see that!

The trip to Kuala Lumpur was pretty much like any flight. Food average, not much sleep, wishing we were finally home...
