My Italian adventures during trips

My advantages were starting in Estonia. when I’ve been selected the FACI at LDS I’ve cold to Embassy and fount out that I can not receive visa early then at 16th of November, because the ambassador had vacation, in ideal I have to fly the 17th of November of 18th in the morning.

Some of you know how many documents you have to prepare for Schengen visa. Till Friday (16th of November) I had now ideas will I come or not, on this day AIESEC Estonia had one of the bright events in Tartu, it’s the Panka (official party with pancake). It was week when I tested my luck :). At 2 p.m. Friday I’ve got the visa and at 3 p.m. I and Marjam (my MCP) were in a bus to Tartu. Do you remember you feeling after great party? :) And after party I had to a meeting, to trip to Tallinn, a shopping, to package my luggage and to go to Riga at midnight, because on Sunday morning I had plane from Riga to Milan. In Milan I had to change plane to Catania. I have been sure that 2 hours in one airport defiantly enough to do it! Ha…Ha…

it wasn’t :)

My 1 fly was late just on 20 min, late I found out that I have to change terminal (around of 10 min by bus) but the main challenge was to find the bus stop to Terminal2, especially when people don’t speck in English….So as result I’ve been for 15 min before plane departure, but they keep out me ://// I had to change plane and the cheapest was on Monday morning, I have had a hard time in airport, I spend one night there… Oh, Malpensa! But I wasn't alone :)

You know Italy is extremely expensive country, but airport one of the more expensive places everywhere…

5 min in internet – 1 EUR (public terminal)

Glace of juice – 3 EUR

In the same time my roaming didn’t work, I had now ideas why… OC, FACI everyone was calling me, but they couldn’t reach me. Later they said me, Masha’s speech: guys don’t worry, she couldn’t lose, she could have problems with visa or luggage, but when she solved it, she will find way. :)
So at 9a.m.on Monday (19th of November) finally I’ve been in Catania and Masha welcomed me!

The story of LDS is coming soon….

My trip adventures was continues :)

After great conference in Catania, study tour and few days in Milan I felt really tiered, but satisfied. I had my plane from Milan on Friday, at 30th of November, during dinner on Thursday Mateo told me that tomorrow in Milan the drivers of public transport have strike and it could be difficult getting to airport and taxi is so expensive (120 EUR).

At Thursday night MC Italy and me have been invited on party in Old Fasion, so one more great party and trip on next day, its remind me something :) I woke up so early in the morning and I’ve been on that time in Malpensa for 2,5 hours :) but now they decided to change time of flying because they can’t be sure that everyone could come on time for strike in Milan….

Again my lovely airport is Malpensa. I was starting afraid that I spend one more night in airport there, but I spend just 5-6 hours during day, it’s nothing compeer with night :) the prices didn’t amazed me anymore also:) so in Riga I’ve been around 8p.m. the MC Latvia was starting nervous, because I asked the to host me in case I miss bus to Tallinn. I’m sorry that so many people were thinking about me and I couldn’t contact them.

As usually I had to wait my bus, just 2 hours, it was so easy :) I have come back in Tallinn at 5 o’clock in the morning. It was early Saturday morning, but city center was animated, people were just finishing party and walking around, Estonian can’t stop to amazing me. (so cold and they were walking so early or late…) I come in cold weather again, snow and freeze, it tocks one day to adept to frost in Tallinn.

It was great trip and I have learnt a lot. I had time to read and to think, something I miss it.
