So we got on our way after dealing with lovely "Easter Week" traffic. While in the US, easter holiday is not celebrated; however here in Europe, it's a MUST holiday of four days. We got on time to the Basel airport (after hectic Easter traffic) and though we were having our first layover stop in London, trouble at the gate. It seems I had forgotten about the advantages of having a "Peruvian Passport". A huge plus is the amount of lovely Airline officials you get a chance to meet. All of them questioning how you first got to where you are and second why would you even dare flying. So after all the formalities and various phone calls to the "mysterious Visa allowers" I was allowed to my flight.
While on arrival in London, I got greeted by my UK Followers, who wanted to become friendly with me hence allowed me to "chill" under their comfortable facilities along with the Afghani refugess who had just arrived from Pakistan. As always, more new friends to make.
Finally as we were Kenya bound, the lovely people at the Check In desk came to pay their respects completely amazed by the "Peruvian Passport". A very lovely lady who has worked @ the airport for over 15 yrs, was so excited she didn't want to give it away...
So far, I am seeing a lot of magic with holding such honor. We'll have to await on what my newly found Rwandan; Congolese and Kenyan friends think of it.....
