Tripoli, delights and frights in the new Free Libya

November 13th 2013
Never ones to run away from adventure, we leapt at the chance to come to Libya for a 5 week work contract. It's been an interesting start to say the least! We had to fly from Barcelona to Gatwick, stay overnight, and then from Gatwick to Tripoli. We were even upgraded on the flight which made it a very pleasant experience!

Great adventure!
Palms, grass--it looks as if the cemetery is the nicest place in the city.

The gunfire adds a bit of spice and always makes for a great travel story. Hope it stays far away!
