My trip back to London was very long and tiring. The flight from Baku, via Vienna, was scheduled for 4:45 in the morning, so I had to wait in the airport for about 6 hours, then went through several customs checks and scans + lots of questions about all the `precious` things I bought in Iran..., security checks (man! it has become a pain to travel by plane these days!- I even had to take my shoes off!). Changed flights in Vienna, more security checks and passport control, to finally arrive in London before 9:00am. The funny thing is: I traveled with my expired Italian passport all the way and nobody seemed to notice. I was afraid I would have problems during this last piece of my trip because of my excess luggage, expensive souvenirs and expired passport, but everything went surprisingly well and smoothly! And I did not even have to pay the 100USD for the excess weight they wanted to charge me initially. Sometimes experience and the Brazilian charm help. Anyway, I knew beforehand that I would have 10 kilos over the weight limit and planed some tactics to get away with it and they worked!
I am so happy to be safe and sound at my beloved friend Mirka`s home.
