KRENULI SMO

Beograd (SRB), Aerodrom Nikola Tesla, 18h. Dugo očekivani put počinje. Nasa ekipa su: Radomir Saičić, Goran Pejčić, Uroš Kojić i ja, vas bloger, Uroš Nikolić. Mi smo se čekirali, majke nam plaču, nema povratka. Bescarinska zona i "Teachers Whiskey" da nas malo opusti pred let i razbije tremu.

Polovinu leta nas je pratilo sunce koje se polako pretvaralo u prelep zalazak. Saznali smo da pilotova deca treniraju plivanje perajima pa je celu ekipu pozvao u kabinu. Malo ćaskanja uz turbulencije, još jedan moj strah prevaziđen. Mogu da ronim na dno okeana, ali nisam baš za opušten let.

Sleteli smo u Egipat, Sharm El Sheik i krenuli taksijem ka Dahabu koji je udaljen odprilike 90km. Stigli smo oko 1h posle ponoći gde nas je čekao ljubazni i nasmejani upravnik Octopus hotela zvani Naser.

Prva noć je prošla neprospavana. Blue Hole mi zvoni u ušima. Ja sam ovde prvi put, jako sam uzbuđen, jedva čekam more i sutrašnji ronilački dan.

OFF WE GO

Belgrade (SRB). Nikola Tesla Airport, 6:00 PM. The long-awaited trip is about to start. Our crew is impatient: Radomir Saicic, Goran Pejicic, Uros Kojic and me, your blogger Uros Nikolic. Check in, mothers crying, no turning back. Duty free zone and "Teachers Whiskey" to calm us.

Our sunny flight turned into a beautiful sunset. The Pilot's kids, it turned out, love swimming with fins so we were invited to share our experiences with their dad in the cockpit. A little chat with turbulence, one fear less for me. I can freedive to the bottom of the sea but cannot ride the air comfortably.

We landed in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt, and took a cab 90 kilometers away to Dahab. We arrived around 1:00 AM to the Hotel Octopus where the smiley manager, Nasar was waiting for us.

I didn't sleep. Blue Hole is ringing in my ears. I'm here for the first time

and am SO excited - I can hardly wait to experience the sea and our first dive.
