Nede ved bagageområdet stod Jens, en ny og ivrig bagagehåndterer, klar til at få styr på kufferterne.

"Jeg vil hjælpe jer med at finde et hotel," tilbød hun.

"I will help you find a hotel," she offered.

Imens Jens stod ved bagageskranken og forsøgte at holde trit med den voksende mængde af kufferter.

Sammen arbejdede de, som et velolieret maskineri.

Together they worked like a well-oiled machine.

Jens fik styr på familiens bagage, mens Astrid skaffede et værelse til dem for natten.
