Tranzitas
Štai pagaliau jau tranzitinėj stotelėj. Po paskutinio "AeroSvit" incidento (atšauktas reisas į Vilnių ir iš jo) buvo truputį nejauku. Kad ir mums taip neatsitiktų... Bet mums pasisekė ir skrydis įvyko laiku. Apie lėktuvą geriau nutylėsiu... (Dyrdyrdyr) Bet užtat vaišino sumuštiniu, dalino gėrimus, net vynelį pilstė! Dabar ...
