At the Airport...again

Well, getting out of Dubai was not easy! When my wake up call rang at four o clock I had just about fallen asleep and felt like anything but going out of bed. No matter, got up and got ready, met my colleague and took a taxi to the airport. Not the nice fancy airport we arrived to from Europe, but to a much smaller terminal where all the flights to nice places like Kabul, Kandahar, Peshawar, Bagdad and Teheran leave from.



Take a pick for your next tourist destination!

We had to be there two hours in advance so we arrived at five for the flight that was supposed to leave at seven. Therefore we were not thrilled to learn it was delayed until ten. We considered to go back to the hotel, but as we did not really feel sure about the flow of information we stayed. It was a long stay. First they said nothing, they it was 11:30, at 12 we boarded and then sat one more hour in the plane before take off. We taxed for so long I was almost wondering if we were about the drive to Kabul.
The whole flying experience was quite interesting. Just watching the kinds of people who travel to those places is truly fascinating and can keep you busy for a long time. Especially I was wondering about a big group of Bosnian men in their 50.s. And also flying Pamir Airways was an interesting experience, if not recommendable for people who are afraid of flying. The food was good though!
