The Holiday starts

I am a mad cricket fan.
Can you believe that the IPL 20-20 final took place on the 1st, the same date we were supposed to leave. Our flight was scheduled to depart at 0130 hrs, meaning we had to be in the airport by 1100 hrs. The final was to end at 1130hrs.
I cursed my luck. Maybe, I should have left with the next group.
Anyway, reluctantly I decided to leave. I watched the first innings,played by my favourite team Chennai. They put up a fairly decent score. I watched 2 Rajasthan wickets fall, before leaving at 1030 hrs.
Reached the airport at 1115 and saw the finish in the airport. Sadly, my favourite team lost, though by a whisker.
The flight did take off on schedule.
To our surprise, we were served dinner at 0230 (We gulped it anyway).
Reached Frankfurt at 1000 hrs on 2nd, and took a connecting flight to Rome at 1230 hrs.
We had a lousy, unpalatable lunch on the flight and landed at Rome at 1400hrs.
We had to wait in the airport until 1800 hrs, for others in the group to arrive from Mumbai and Delhi.
