Flight Miami – Washington D.C. – Frankfurt – Kiev – 5. welcome to Ukraine
Having passed English Channel airplane got to spaces or Belgium or northern France and here after 8 months of Caribbean a saw a snow. White fields alternately with black forests stretched all the way to Frankfurt – on – Main.
Germany in March
Until landing in airport city wasn’t seen, it was looked like urban village. Cars moved slowly across forest roads.
Local airport impressed by its size and something like chaos. Many-many terminals, enormous number of airplanes and hangers, buses – everything was here. I haven’t seen only American shine haven’t existed, only German strictness and faces of all shapes and skin color. Nearby the terminal of Kiev flight I was properly checked. Here, although not like much like in USA, were enough seating places. WiFi was chargeable and, knowing about European level of prices, I didn’t wanted to order it. Staff was commonly white, and minority was Arabian.
Before Kiev this terminal took care of flight to Manchester, and comparing with strict Englishmen in coats and tuxedos waiting Ukrainians were looked like refugees. We were sat into the bus, first time since hot Miami we had to go out on street, and taken to the embarkation point. Airplane was little bit late but because of that embarkation time was speeded up. After 40 minutes of flight, already above Poland, it became very foggy, and it lasted all the way to Kiev. Before capital of Ukraine we passed through zone of turbulence, hull of liner was shaken like in Hollywood catastrophe film, and some nervous persons had started screaming. But everything passed fast and very soon we were on our final lap to Motherland. Luggage was taken fast, my red bags made my search easy. Our custom officers briskly discussed something, drinking coffee, and I quietly passed by the green corridor, even not detecting luggage with roentgen. Nearby the exit I saw a lot of people, most of them, I’m sure, weren’t meeting people. Taxi – drivers and other strange persons made their bread attacking just flew people. Here is welcome to Ukraine!
