Around the World in 80 Hours

Journey start 2nd Sept Malabo, Equatorial Guinea 5.00am, crappy sleep, flight 7.15am
Arrive Paris much later 2.30pm, flight to Florence 3.30pm
Worry about bags making the short duration trip
Arrive Florence 6.00pm bags made it, was truly relieved

Pick up passport and air-tickets at hotel crappy sleep, awake at 1.30am

Leave hotel 5.00am Florence 3rd Sept flight Paris again, eating too much crappy airline food
Arrive Paris 9.00am flight to Seoul, South Korea length 10 hours, arrive feeling like shite
Arrival local time 6.30am flight to Sakhalin Russia, arrive at 2.30pm local time, feeling like crap after third night with no proper sleep,

Landscape looks just like Wales, lots of pine trees and pretty flat actually near the hotel,

Airport was chaotic to say the least, arrivals hall was minute, and not big enough for the folks off the plane which was only a small Airbus 320, it took probably 20 minutes to get the luggage off the plane, the carousel for the luggage was big enough for about 30 bags and the chute for the bags was actually just 5 feet long and the bags were thrown off a truck that had backed up to a window and then everything went down this chute, so funny as things were plunging down at amazing speed and smashing into the barrier, including boxes of delicate items, it was hilarious, obviously the regular folks started removing bags as soon as the carousel started filling as the baggage handlers couldn’t put anymore on, you would think that with all the money the country is making out of the high oil prices they would have built a really nice new terminal building, this has to be the same as when the old Communist presidents used to visit this place 30 years ago. Tomorrow will give me the chance to see the country and see how rugged this far flung corner of the world really is. I need to take some valium to get over the jetlag.
