I heard from a reliable source that NIrish ended up in the Azores, while his luggage is still in the Falklands.
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
Did he not buy a Laptop or smartphone??

Sorry chaps I haven’t logged in since I last posted that so haven’t read any of the previous ( yet). Currently in Bali and pleased to report whilst the resort is a little quieter than normal the free service isn’t and the usual easy 2 or 3 a day, every day is still very easily well doable - assuming ones stamina holds out accordingly of course ! :-)
Anyways going to run again as busy busy here :-)

Good to hear from you NIrish. Have a ball in Bali.
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
I used to fly via Frankfurt to save a few pennies - but not any more.
Yes - I have also been to the gate to see my connecting flight still there but denied boarding.
On one occasion, Frankfurt was suffering freezing fog and we had to circle for nearly two hours before we could land. My connection lost, I was given an hotel but had a long wait outside for a bus to get there - the temperature was around minus 5 and I was dressed for Thailand..
Nearly dead of exposure, I eventually grabbed the first bus that came and got the hotel it went to to call me a taxi to go to the right one.
Since then I pay the extra for a direct flight (and now pack a jersey in my hand luggage - just in case..)
Most unusually, in my experience, Frankfurt airport actually has a hotel inside Terminal 1. You can therefore enjoy a sleep during transit without having to go through Immigration to exit the airport and find a hotel in the city. It was not cheap but it was comfortable and convenient.

"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
