The Most Amazing week (part 1)

The past week was soooo amazing =) =) =)

I miss my big sis a lot =( But then again, I'm also grateful for the brilliant week we've had =)

Because we did so many things, I'm gonna update in parts. For now, I'll stick to the first night, Sunday July 23th:

On Sunday, I was walking around the house nervously all day. Then at 4, me and my mom finally left for the airport in Brussels. We got there around 4.45, and sat down somewhere to drink something.

Then around 5.30 we went down again, and I positioned myself at the doors where the arriving passengers come out. I got an sms of Kriszti saying that she landed and was waiting for her luggage. I texted back that I would be waiting for her right when she came out. My heart was beating like mad, while I stood there, watching all the people that came through that door.

Then, Kriszti sent me an sms asking where I was, since she was out. "Huh?" Yes, she was out. The problem was that (and we found this out after about half an hour on the phone) she was on another airport. Yes, ANOTHER AIRPORT. Well, it's not much of another airport...just some landing space for airplanes.

At the airport, people told her to get a bus to the train station Brussels midi, and then take a train to the national airport. I told her to take the bus. Me and mom would be picking her up at the train station. Right after I told her that, we got cut off, and I got a message that she could no longer accept calls. Not enough money on her cellphone. Not even enough to sms...
So me and mom hurried out of the airport, and went on our way to Brussels midi. I was sure that Brussels midi meant Brussels central station. So after a crazy trip through Brussels we arrived there, and I went up to a lady to ask where the busses arrived. She told me that those busses arrived in Brussels midi. Well, that's where I was standing right? Uhm, no, Brussels midi is actually Brussels south station.

So I rushed to the car again, asked some policemen how to get to Brussels midi by car, and then we were on the road again. But we couldn't find Brussels south station.
We drove around Brussels, and atarted asking lots of people (in lots of languages). Eventually we found someone who got us up the right way. And then finally, we arrived at Brussels midi. I jumped out of the car, telling mom i'd be looking for her inside while she tried to find a parking spot. When I ran into Brussels midi, I understood that it was not a good place for a girl to walk around on her own. I ran around the station, and mom joined me about 15 minutes later. I sent Kriszti an sms that mom would be waiting for her at the round box (lmao) that said "toerisme Brussel". I went walking around the station again, trying to find the place where the busses arrived. When I couldn't find it, I went to the telephones to see if I could call her that way. Some phones only worked with credit cards, and some others with prepaid cards. But the shop to buy the cards was closed. I went back to mom, told her about the phones, and she said she'd go have a look. So I stayed at the "round box"...

Only a minute later, i saw a girl, wearing jeans (short, but still longer than the knee lol) and a blouse, coming up to me. I only remember going "oh god" and hugging her... =) I went to get mom, and we finally left the station.

A little hour later, around 10, we arrived in Antwerp. Kriszti had reserved a room in a youth hostel. So I went with her, installed her in her room, and we finally had some time to talk. She also had some awesome gifts for me, my brother and my mom =)
I left the youth hostel around 10.55, had bad luck with the subway, and realized that my bus had gone when I arrived at the bus station. So I texted mom, telling her I'd be waiting for the next one, but she got seriously mad at me and said she'd come to get me. So half an hour later, I was in the car with a super-angry mom, but she got a bit more forgiving when I showed her the gifts of Kriszti.

So well, let's just say I'll deffo remember that night in 40 years :p
