Weather frustrations don't stop after you've got your licence either.
I arrived home last night after finally completing a journey from Sardinia to Sweden in a small VFR-only aircraft which started two months ago!
After a good start for the first two days I hit the fog that can sit over central Europe for weeks in the winter and had leave the aircraft in France and return home by train and scheduled flight.
I returned two weeks later but unforecast fog frustrated that attempt too, so, what with Christmas and New Year, it ended up being six weeks until I could move the aircraft. Even then I still couldn't go east and had to bring it to England where it sat for another fortnight before I finally got up through Holland and Germany to Sweden at the weekend.
Altogether I spent more time waiting at airports and railway stations than I did flying. All part of the fun of winter flying in Europe, but I'd have been grateful for at least a little Florida-style weather!
