Paris

On the last day of Ramadan i went to paris for two days trip, to visit the city, as it is my first time there.
At the same time, to see my friend who was living there for some time.

It was very short trip, so i could not see all of the city in two days, even more, i missed one of the most famous milestones of paris ( La Joconde ) .....  :(

However the journey was so amaznig, with good company of the Mr. tour guide ( Akak ).

here are Some pictures:

This was for breaking my fast at heathrow on thursday, the last of Ramadan here in London.

Ofcourse i had some date too :) :)

In the picture ( tomato, pasta, mozarella and some herbs ) + orange juice.

London from the sky at night

After one hour and ten minutes flight at Charles de Gaulle

From the airport immediately to the Champs-Élysées with my luggage, i was still hungry so we ate Shawerma in Lebanese resturant, followed by ice cream ( Haagen Dazs ).

Friday morning's breakfast, which was the first day of Eid, but you can't feel the Eid outside Libya i think !!!

The yogurt in the picture was very delicious and unusual, maybe because it was in small jar instead of plastic one, with apple flavour.

Before we start any long journey with car, we have to fill it with fuel.

So, that was my favourite fuel...coffeeeeee

I could not stop my self from looking at this Captivating view,

 then having some pictures.

 Here, one of them.

The dirty Metro of Paris

One of the many many and another many museums, palaces and very nice historical plcaes in paris, which were so wonderful for me, may be because of their unique architecture, that distinguishing paris from any other city.

But still i could not differentiate most of the buildings from each other, all are the same,

so, don't ask me for the names of those places!!!

Except some of the memorable ones.

Charles de gaulle' statue

Nespresso Cafe

I like the ( French balcony ) design.

Notre-Dame de Paris

The Concorde

To the left ( Tomb of the Unknown Soldier )

This picture taken over the ( Arc de Triomphe ).

After long and heavy day, we need  good break at Nespresso before the sunset,

 after that me and Ahmed went home to have some rest and to pray, then we headed for dinner.

Dinner at Pizza Pino, and my favourite drink ( Sprite ).

The Wedding Bus !!

while i was walking few days back in the neighbourhood, i noticed an old London bus in front of church, and it was decorated for a wedding, followed by small car ( decorated too ).

I am not sure which one was the " bride's car " as we used to say in Libya , however, the groom has the right to get the car named after him too. But, we are still calling it ( the bride's car )


I was not able to wait for the couple to come out of church to picture them, but at least i took some pics. for the cars.

What type of licence someone need to drive that thing ?!!

 Well, i think the children will be lucky if they can get a wedding bus in Libya, so every one can be with the new couple in there journey to the groom's family house or for the wedding hall nowadays, i can't imagine the newly married couple in Libya at there wedding night riding decorated Iveco, and that Iveco overcrowded with children and old ladies :) :)



I'll think about it, may be someone will have the courage to do that thing someday!!!

From London to Tripoli and back again...

It's been a while since my last blogg, i was so busy for the last period, and i still busy actually but i have to write some thing here at least.

Few weeks back i went in short trip to Tripoli, it lasted for few days before i come back to london, i think few days in Libya will be ok for everyone to feel refresh, but not more than 2 weeks i think, as most of people going back home for the first few days, they had considered as guest and they feel so popular and surrounded by everyone, but when time goes, every one got busy in his/ her work there, and we feel as we are not guests any more in addition to that you have nothing to do except hanging around with some friends in Shesha cafe and repeating the same routine everyday untill the time of your flight back to your destination comes.
It's my point of view at least :)

I could not get too many pictures for the short visit, but here are some of it, and almost all of the pic was in Gatwick airport, and others on the Afriqiyah airplane, which i feel so sorry for there lost on the 12 of may.
It could be the same aircraft i was on before, it is really good airways and good services, i wish them luck as a Libyan carrier.
