airport in the clouds  — 2 years ago

Worth visiting!

Landing in this airport was an amazing experience. I was feeling a bit sick and lying across 4 free seats, but when we started to land I had to look out the window.

This city is so amazingly high, that it’s like you are landing at almost the level the plane was flying at – it’s a city in the mountains in the clouds. Quite surreal.

When I got there, I accidentally walked across the customs barrier without knowing it (it was like the red rope they use in cinemas, and I wanted to sit down because I wasn’t feeling too well). Then when I actually went through customs, they were pretty intense, I didn’t speak the language and they licked my aspirin to see if it was some illegal drug.
