Dublin, Ireland

October 2012 PaD Challenge - HAIKU

Now, this is a story!
I was supposed to fly to Budapest, Hungary last Friday to meet Helen Betts and Stephanie Vacek, my flight was scheduled on 8 AM. But the fog was so heavy in Warsaw, all flights were at first delayed in every 30 minutes messages and then cancelled. After 11 AM the passengers were asked to apply for money back or to get other flights if possible later. As the fog started to lift I was told I could take the flight via Dublin, Ireland, as the morning plane from Budapest that was supposed to take people the other way, had to land in Krakow and stuck there. As I didn't want to go back home and fly the next day, I took that option. So, I had a flight to Dublin after 2 PM, where had a 4 hours stop and then went to Budapest, where I arrived at midnight! 18 hours to get there insted of 1.5 LOL.

It is hard to be patient with traveling by plane. We are at the mercy of weather or the airlines. I'm glad you made it safely. This is a wonderful aerial view of Ireland! V

A most familiar view I hope to see again next year. Great shot from above.

What a hassle - but at least you got to see Dublin...

You could have gone by car rather faster...! Did you go into a Pub in Dublin? Nice aerial view!

That is quite the story!!! Wow. 18 hours instead of 1.5! What an amazing journey you had! However, look at this gorgeous shot you got and you created a super haiku as well. VV
