Here I am! Late, I know! And I'm ashamed, but I have been rather busy...which is bad excuse as well, but so it is!
The nice thing to read was that some people miss reading my Blog...
And so, now, at work, having time, I can post some lines. Probably won't be able to write all I want, but at least will brake the ice after some time :) As many of your know, I went to Libya from 31st October to 7th November :) I went there to visit my boyfriend who is on and off working there.
I left from Ljubljana to Vienna and than with Austrian Airline to Tripoli - the capital of Libya. I had some problems at the Ljubljana airport with that lady who didn't believe me that I'll get visa when will get to Tripoli - though I had the guarantie letter! So, I made some people standing behind me mad, but I don't really care...it's all her faults, coz' she didn't believe me! Anyway, we sort that out and I went to launge to wait for boarding. I met a girl there who was traveling to Tripoli to visit her dad, so I had a company :) I also saw a captain that I met before, so wasn't really alone. The stupid thing was that all three were traveling the same destination and all three with different plane! I went to Vienna, the other girl went via Paris and the captain went to Zurich.
My flight to Vienna was OK and even from there on was OK; no delays or what-so-ever.
I arrived to Tripoli airport at 3pm local time (they are one hour ahead from Ljubljana) and Miha was already waiting for me with another captain. We than waited 30 minutes to get my visa and than went to hotel which is 40 km from the airport.
The drive was crazy as I guess in most North African countries, though a bit better than in Egypt. The good thing is that I am not scared and could say that being in Egypt really helped me, so that crazy drive was nothing that crazy for me... :)
We arrived to hotel around 4pm and met Benjamin (Miha's co-worker who is 25 y.o.) in the lobby who just wanted to leave us a note that he and another friend Matej (the same age as I am - BTW: just something out of this context - yesterday a doctor asked me if I'm 17 y.o.??) are leaving to Air show that was going on in Tripoli. So, Miha and I ran up in the room, I changed clothes into something shorter :) and we all went.
It was GREAT. I was never before on any Air show and was very exicted. The sad thing was that it was last day and was rather late, so we didn't see much of air flights, but was anyway nice!
I was in one HUGE Russian transporter plane, saw some flights and had really nice time with those 3 guys :) They were taking great care of me :) Haha, felt really nice being protected. :)
The evening we spent in hotel, had dinner and went to bed. I was rather tired from traveling and Miha had flight next day.
