Monday morning: Item 8 clock I stand in front of the office of the Bellview Airlines at the other end of the airport "We have nothing to do you have your flights on hold in our office.. , do not book at any travel agency in Germany. No refund is not, because we fly so not on Sunday. And today we are full. Have a nice day. " I had the horror stories about African Airlines always dismissed as a rumor, so I have to say now that there is some truth in it .
frustration. Anger. I try to everything-no-problem, somehow it'll be all right, and yet it does not matter anyway "mentality umzuschalten.Mitleidvolle looks from my friends at the service Schalter.Um 9 is a flight with Kenya Airways, $ 300, what the hell, I have to go there! They have seats available and because it is always too late to start as something else. How can I say, unfortunately or fortunately I did not just plug by 300 dollars, not all 3 cash machine at the Accra airport and work There are no reader, to stay on the ground Kreditkarte.Ich sit and wait . I rinse with Coke down my frustration.
10.00 clock : is my tactic: penetrance . I tell all the officers at the check-in, all the officials in any of switches and anyone who wants to know or do not want to know my story. " It's not Africa. It is just Bellview " (mind you the best West African Carrier 2004 ").
11:30 : Check-in begins for the flight. I put down easily. "Put my name on the list. First priority "No, I do not wait over there but right next to the officials
12.30:.! I'm down to the baggage carousel seems to vorgearbeitet.Alles klappen.Das belt stops." We have to check whether there are seats available Are. "Please, my backpack rolling now one meter! My" friend "informs the service point to help." My girlfriend has priority over the other passengers "deep glances, indicating the importance whatsoever. Thank you !!!!! !
13.30:. Wartehalle.Victory seats in the characters I talk with a woman on Liberia before the war, about a beautiful country I can not believe. to finally have a place. who knows, maybe now is the machine is broken or at least my luggage arrived in Sierra Leone?
Sierra Leone
When the flight lifts off on time, I am equally concerned and facilitates . There are only 2 white throughout Maschine.Es are unreserved seating. When starting the engine journey takes komisch.Ausserdem we do not fly directly but through Freetown in Sierra Leone. 4 hours total. As can be only one airline to operate like a taxi?
In Sierra Leone there is exactly one runway. It can be seen from above, nothing but jungle. The luggage here disembarking passengers are loaded onto a cart. It's raining. A helicopter of the UN is in the mud.
arrival in Liberia
When the machine is reduced to Liberia, the same image: nothing but jungle . The Roberts International Airport looks gloomy, one small gray building, next two UN Hubschrauber.Ein space the size of my room to check the passports. An area the same size, which is now stacked the luggage. "What do you do in Liberia?" I mustered the official. "Are you alone?" I asked a Liberian. I say yes. "Wow, you come to visit my country?" As I step out of the building, I expect a representative of the organization. One problem would be solved. We drive the 40 km to Monrovia. Jungle ruins, a river. I've finally arrived. Only when I'm actually landed?
