My visa appointment was last week and i figured that it would be a while before my passport was sent back because of all the bank holidays and everything, so didn't worry too much that it hadn't arrived yet.
My phone has been dead for a couple of days as i left the charger at my mums, but i figured i would just listen out for them when they came as our buzzer in the flat is pretty loud.
Last night, after ordering dominos and wondering why it hadn't arrived, i learned that our buzzer is broken and has been for a couple of days. So i signed onto the tracking website for the visa to see that, yes, they had already attempted delivery. Oh dear.
i called up to re-schedule delivery and they said the next available date for delivery is Wednesday, which would be fine if i weren't flying over to Germany to visit my dad on Tuesday. This realization hit me about ten minutes ago and i panicked wondering how on earth i was going to get to Germany without my passport.
BUT, luckily, last time i was in Germany, my Dad registered me to get one of the National identification cards (Aussweis) that they have in Europe as i'm half German. When travelling within Europe, you can use these as a passport alternative and so i will be able to catch my flight after all!
Thank god for that.
