The trip from London to Switzerland by Zander

1 in England

2-3 in The Swiss alps

After 4 days in London, we got on a plane to Switzerland. The flight was on a really cheap carrier, Easy Jet. The flight left at 7 in the morning, so we had to get up at 4 in the morning, because it takes an hour to drive to the airport, and we needed 2 hours to get through security and check in. These flights are the worst because we have to get up early and my family and I are not morning people.

I woke up. Crap!!! can't I get some sleep?
Then I remembered, we are going to Zurich today. Not the best start. So a few fallen attempts of falling back asleep then getting stepped on by my parents. I finally gave up and got out of bed. There wasn't any time to get breakfast, so I rolled up my sleeping bag and packed it up. Every one was running around trying to get all the stuff packed. I was doing pretty well. I had most of my clothes and belongings packed the night before, but I still was in a hurry. About ten minutes later, tempers were
running high and we got into a cab, stuffing our bags in the back. The hour long ride to the airport was spent trying to sleep while holding our bags on our laps (it doesn't work very well). It was a really uncomfortable ride being packed tightly with our bags. I was glad to get out when we got to the airport.

On arrival to the airport, there was a big rush to get in line to check in. We were all really worried because we have a really small baggage allowance with Easy Jet. We have a lot of bags full of our stuff to carry. We had to check one of them in. So while we were going through security and immigration, my dad was giving us advice on how to sneak our bags onto the plane. Going through security, we got patted down. It was a little weird. We had a bit of time before the plane boarded,
so we sat down and waited. My dad went to the Duty Free
shops to spend the rest of his Euros on some wine. I went to play on some Ipads in the electronic store and looked at computers. My sisters, who had the biggest bags to hide, tried to fit them in their bags while not breaking the zippers. Mia got hers to fit with out zipping it up. But Kayley couldn't fit all her stuff in. My dad and mom said that if you get stopped, then it is your problem and they won't go back for you (they will send other people). So when it was our turn to board, I did not get caught because I tried to be inconspicuous, but Kayley and Mia were stalled. We were a little worried because Mia and Kayley were taking a long time, but when Mia came without Kayley, my dad sent me back, because he was worried about Kayley. I did not want to go because my dad wouldn't go himself. So when I got to the entrance where she was waiting, on the verge of crying. I made it quick, we had to throw away one of her bags. After hearing what was in each bag we decided that we should through away the bag that had Mias makeup in it. It did not matter to me because I do not really care about her makeup, and I was not on good terms with her. So when we got through the lady at the gate to board the plane, Mia was really mad because she had lost all of her makeup and it was worth alot of money. It was one of the most exciting boarding that I have had.

Once on the plane, there was some problems getting our bags in the overhead compartments. So after stuffing our bags in ( moving other peoples bags out of the way), I took a seat. These seats were worst then Jet Star. The seats do not even go back and everything costs money. You can not even get a glass of water. One and a half hours of sitting in a uncomfortable seat and leg cramps latter, we got to Zurich, Switzerland. We got out and walked through the clean Zurich airport with lots of watch commercials. There were lots of nice watches and Swiss army knifes in the Duty Free shop. The airport immigration and customers was very organized, and we got through with out any problems. I was so happy to get out of the airport.

Getting the rental car took a while to get because there was some questioning whether it would fit us. But in the end and 30 minutes latter, we got a really nice muscle car, but we had to put Sarah in the trunk with the bags. It did not look confortahbe. We had to drive to a valley in the Swiss Alps. It was supposed to take 2 hours by Google Maps, but with all the detours that were caused by driving with my dad, it was more like 3 hours for us. I was exited because I have never been to Switzerland and I have never seen the country side.
