EU Citizen? Sleep well sir.

Not much action on the blog front due to my 'surprise' visit home at the weekend. However my cunning plan to get back in time for a new course to start today were left in tatters with the blanket of fog over Heathrow. We left 4 hours late and missed our connection in Vienna by 3 hours. So I had to spend the night in Vienna - well I say Vienna - a very nice hotel at the airport. So I didn't get back until lunchtime not great when the course starts at 1000.
So anyway, the title. A young guy from Kosovo was also on the same flight to Pristina via Vienna, he went to the airline counter just before me and I wondered why his complimentary overnight pack included a blanket and pillow, turns out he needed a visa to leave the terminal building and walk over to the 4 star hotel. So he had to sleep in the airport. Another good reason to be in the EU!
