Well the Icelandic guest
has arrived. It went well. I know 3 couples, the most of
the people is between 45-70 years old. My colleges think it
is so funny how everybody knows everybody in
Icealnd. The day after the arrival me and Arnar had a
welcome meeting for the guests. Around 90 people showed up of
170 arriving, which is very good. It is more people than comes
to the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian meeting combined
In the
evening we went to an Icelandic restaurant and ate salmon. It
was sooo good. On Sudnays they serve lamb, and I am so going.
Friday I was suppose to go the island trip but it did not sell
too well, so it got canceled. But on Monday I am going on a
shopping trip to Las Palmas, the capital of the island, of
course that trip sold great for the Icelandic shoppaholics.
Today, Sunday is my day off. My first day off since I got here,
finally. It has been difficult to go back to work after lying
around for a month, I get tired much sooner now than before the
accident. Yesterday was a very long and a hard day. We had so
many flight delays because of the weather in Scandinavia. The
flight to Göteborg was 24 hours delayed, the flight from Billund
was 9 hours delayed, the flight from Copenhagen was 5 hours
delayed, and so it was the whole day. I went to the airport with
the Stavaneger bus, which was not delayed and was suppose to go
back with the Stockholm which was not late ether. But they
choose to let me go inside to the tax-free area and wait for 5
hours with the Copenhagen flight, and then go back with the
guests that arrived flight 5 hours delayed. Anyway
some people where very understanding while others where very
pissed off. They could not understand why they had to wait
inside the airport for 5 hours, instead of waiting in the hotel.
And then there are some new EU rules about flight delay which I
know nothing about, and I was very ashamed of that. But the
worst part of all was I could not buy anything because you need
a boarding pass to buy something in the tax-free
shops
Then finally I got the onboard
and after I had been to 13 hotels with the guests that arrived,
I went back to the airport and then it was time for the Billund
guests. I only had to go to 4 hotels to check them in. Then I
went to the office to translate the departure time for the
Icelandic people I had to do it yesterday, because Arnar had to
take it to the hotels today, and he can not translate it. So I
finished my work around 1am after 16 hours of work. So today it
is relaxing day and tomorrow shopping. It is a first time I am
going on an excursion for the first time and I am not nervous, I
mean it is actually something I am good at.
