...forget it. george w. is in town, so the aiport bratislava is closed as a whole, and everything follows the rules of some unknown security experts. the force (or was it the schwartz?) has arrived, and all one can do is to head back to vienna and leave (again) tomorrow morning. let's see if it'll work this time. after all, we've seen the tail of airforce one (which btw. is enlightened with a spot light on the american flag, i have never seen something like this on other planes...). tomorrow putin will arrive, too bad we'll miss that - i'd love to see if the security efforts are comparable.

we need to go to bratislava airport today to get our keys en berlin. and then the news about bush and putin meeting right there. i am neither interested in this bushy tour nor in excessive controls because of two old chaps. talking with taxi drivers over there they say: it's not that bad. hope so. ¿why did they choose bratislava for coffee?
