The EuroTrip of Ivo
My EnterCEE visit to Lithuania has just begun. I arrived this afternoon in Vilnius after 24 hours of travel. City is very nice and I had cool first meeting with the OCPs. Three amazing days are in front of us.
Meanwhile, in the LC office jumped a familiar face screaming IVO :). That was Ilma current MCP of Lithuania. Gil and Rene just entered the office, wow... you can never say that this is your last meeting with someone.
Back to the trip. Yesterday my plane from Sofia to Vilnius via Warsaw took off at 14h BG time. Fortunatelly we arrived on time in the Polish Capital and after 4 hours of waiting in the transit zone of Frederick Chopin Airport we were invited to boarding. Aircraft was smaller than i expected but still cozy enough. We headed to the take-off route when suddenly we made a turn back and we stopped. 45 mins later cabin crew informed us that flight is been canceled.
Time is 22.10 and i'm still in Warsaw (this is the time i was supposed to land in Vilnius). Custmos were very crowded especially the "ALL PASSENGERS" counter. We were directed to the arrivals terminal and took our luggage. God sake a least my luggage was there. After 30 minutes of waiting to re-book my ticket i realized that i'll spend the night in Warsaw AIRPORT Boronda Hotel which was actually pretty nice and cozy. I took a shower and went to sleep. However at 3 o'clock someone was making hell a lot of noise bumping on the doors. I was ready to kill him but suddenly he stopped.
5.25 in the morning, my alarm started to ring. It was time to go and take the bus-shuttle. Well, another surprise - a man sleeping on the floor :):):)
I asked whether he is fine but he just turned to the other side - drunkurds.
6.20 back at the airport. Check in was surprisingly fast. However passing customs took much more time. I turned out that they forgot to stamp my passport on my way out of the airport last night so i spend 30 mins of persuading customs police and the chief imigration officer in particular to let me go. I was pissed-off beacuse they were not even speaking English. So imagine myself speking with gestures and explaining in English to the poor guy. How a pitty.
Well i forgot to mention that i ws going to take the transit fligth via Vienna to go to Vilnius. Another 1500 km.
So exactly 24 hours after my take-off from Sofia airport the plane landed at Vilnius, Lithuania. Thanks God i managed to come here:).
Looking forward to my way back home :) who knows where i will go through then.
