Last Take
25.2.2009 | Ljubljana, Slovenia
So far every visit to Libya has come to a close. And every time with a smile on my face and a bag full of vivid and marvellous memories. The rich balance total of this last journey is almost 5000 photos, a little over an hour and a half of video footage, successful meetings in Libya and the greatly impressed Tomaž and Uroš who can't wait to go back to Libya again.
Shrovetide Good Deeds
24.2.2009 | Karst, Slovenia
On my journeys I have always met people who are willing to sacrifice their time, goodwill, and sometimes also some money for me, a person they will never see again. This mostly happens among people who possess little more than a genuine smile on their face. But they are in fact much richer than many people in "civilised Europe". And at all that, they couldn't care less for the current crisis.
Goodbye to Libya
23.2.2009 | Tuscany, Italy
There is no way I could have left Libya without taking another peek underwater. We met up with Mohammed at quarter to eight (well, we were a bit late, we really can't lie with all the technology we lug round) and soon we sank into the wavy Mediterranean which was a mean 15°C that morning.
Snowy Sicily
22.2.2009 | Palermo, Italy
This time our way home took us not through Malta but Sicily. As our house had to stay put on the ferry during the ten-hour stopover in Palermo, we decided to rent a vehicle and go for a spin to don Vito's. Our search for an old Panda, Vespa or a Piaggio tricycle was in vain. For six hours, we ended up with a fairly new Clio instead.
Sabha and Tripoli - welding and shishas
21.2.2009 | Hammamet, Tunisia
Some days ago I promissed you the story about the slow way to Sabha. Greater part of the road betwen Germa and Sabha is in a horrible condition and perfectly fits the saying that no road is better than bad road. Luckily it took its toll only a few kilometres from the camping site in Sabha.
