Back to Stuttgart..

Was up early to get my shuttle bus to Heathrow.
Security has been bumped up so much since that incident after christmas on the london to US flight.
Went through check-in as normal, but getting through security was a bitch (sorry.. but it's true!)
Apart from having to remove my laptop from my bag, empty my pockets, remove all jackets till i was wearing a shirt, remove hat.. i had to take off my belt and shoes as well. I thought they were going to ask me to remove my jeans next as they have metal on them.. haha
And this was just to get a flight back to Germany!

After taking nearly an hour to get through security, i finally got onto my flight. Fell asleep.. but woke up as breakfast was being served. But she wouldn't serve me! She had just finished serving my line of seats when i woke up and moved onto the next lot, so i asked if i could have something and she ignored me. So the guy next to me asked and she said no because she had already served everyone. So rude..

Arrived in Stuttgart (after an hour's delay in london, technical fault with the plane), jumped on a train and headed to the hostel. Thought i would be able to drop off my bags and head into the city since check-in wasn't till 2pm.. the reception was closed! I was suddenly stranded in stuttgart with 2 bags in the snow and no where to go. Ended up having to return back to the airport to get money and food, then headed back to the hostel 3 hours later to check in.

Finally checked in.. then headed into the city for a bit. Then back to the hostel to get ready for my early flight to NY.
