#30 Hours Later - Belarus Part 1

I don't have much internet time.

So here's a quick rundown of my travels here.

YYC, Calgary - we were not going to be let on the plane. we were told we needed a transit visa to get from Russia to Belarus. then they said it was fine. so we left.

Heathrow Airport, London - there was little to no concern about the visas. that I witnessed any way. We sat in an airport for 8 hours. we wandered and found salmon in a box. I slept two of the eight hours we were there.

Moscow Airport(?), Moscow - we were held captive for 7 and a half hours because we did not have a transit visa. We had no food or water, we only had each other and metal chairs. those chairs were extremely uncomfortable. like, to the max. We were sent through security then sent back out to be escorted to the plane by a van. because we are rebels and were not allowed on Russian soil.

Minsk Airport, Belarus - more delays as we had to fill out immigration forms. then we went outside and smelled fresh air for the first time in over 30 hours.

No joke. 30 hours of traveling. I was asleep for at least half of it, because I slept on every single plane ride, for the whole thing.  WITH NO DRUGS! Plus at airports I slept. I was a sleeping machine. Plus also there was lots of prayers and stuff. It was the longest 30 hours of my life.

That was a long story short, it's much better in person I promise you!

Any way, I miss everyone back home, and I don't honestly know how much I'll be updating my blog after tonight. I love you all millions and millions and I'll write when I can!
