the flight

Since I only talked about my feelings in my last post I'm gonna start to tell you a little bit about my flight today.

I had to get up really early so we could get the train to Hamburg. At the train station I had to say good by to most of my closest friends. It was one of the hardest goodbyes I ever had. It was the only time I had to cry to be honest. 

After a long drive my aunts, my best friend and I arrived at the central station in Hamburg where I met my father and his family. I saw them only a really short time because they had to leave... 

Then we drove to the airport, where I met Inken and her family. Inken is going to Argentina, too with the same organisation. 

After a while my grandparents arrived at the airport, that made me really happy because I can't see them that often... 

After saying goodbye to everyone and passing the security I talked to the other exchange students flying with me:) We were 4 (including myself).

Together we flew to Frankfurt. It was a horrible flight with many turbulences. Finally in Frankfurt we met the other exchange students and waited for our flight to Chile.

I had never been in such a big airplane but I really liked it and felt more safe than in the smaller ones.

The flight was really long but it wasn't that bad. 

After about 15 hours of flying we had some time in Chile. By the way Chile is a beautiful country.

I spend some of my last euros there (yes, I was able to pay with euros)
Then our flight got delayed and we had to change the gate.
We were really confused but we managed to get into the right plane:)
It was amazing flying over the Andes. It's a feeling I can't really describe. The flight was over really fast and the first thing I saw in Argentina was field! There was nothing but field. I even thought there wasn't a real landing strip. Don't worry there was one but you weren't able to see it from the plane:)
The first thing we had to do in Argentina was showing our passports with the visa. When it was my turn I gave the women my passport. She looked really angry and after a while she went away (yes, with my passport).
About five minutes later she came back and told me that there was a problem with my visa but she was able to manage it.
I was really relieved when she let me pass. But right after that I got nervous again because I was afraid that my suitcase wouldn't arrive...
But I was really lucky that day:)
The last thing we had to do was passing the security. It took so long! The people working at the airport were really slow and there were too many people that wanted to leave the airport.
But after a long time of waiting it was our turn and luckily we didn't had any problems. That was the moment we could finally relax and start realizing that we're finally in Argentina! To be honest, I haven't realized it until now!
As we came out of the airport we met a womam from EduQuality. She is really nice and even though she didn't knew us she gave us a hug as a welcome.
We waited for some other exchange students and then left the the airport by bus.
Now, it's already the second day here. We're living in a hotel near to Córdoba city and having a preparation here. I'll tell you everything about that in another post
Take care,
