As the airports in European countries are going in to overdrive because of the upcoming vacay, I am happy to just be on the ground here. With the windows update crashing a lot of traffic earlier in the week, I really can imagine that it is not really chill to be flying at the moment. And apart from at the moment...flying was never really chill if you ask me.
But the beauty of flying when you are up in the sky is really there. The sights of the especially the coastal lines, the mountains and the rivers is really something else. Especially when there is the option to see where you are over land, it gives some really cool sights looking at the world from another perspective.
Here you can see parts flying over the Croatian coastline and how many islands there are involved. That really gives a good sighting on why Croatia is so nice to visit, and why the boating culture is very much alive here. So many options to go to. Not all is habited, but is that even a problem when you have your boat with you which is also your housing. And while I was lost in catching the cities near the coast line, could it be that that city of Split where Hivefest will be hosting is on the snaps? I don't think it is actually, I think the option is there that it is Zadar. What do you think?
What I really dislike flying over the European continent is the amount of flying traffic that is around you. The airflows created by the other aircrafts create turbulence which never really makes it a pleasant flight, there is always something going on. You can literally see the other aircrafts and read their signing which doesn't make them that far away. It doesn't make me more at ease for sure, that is all I know.
While descending over the German soil, the scenery is different and you can see the cities and rivers passing underneith you which is cool to orientate where you are. What is not cool that while heading into a turn a saw and aircraft right above me, which felt way closer than I had expected and than I had liked it to be there. Better said...it scared the crap out of me. Or is this just the fear of flying that took the better hand for a second?
Regardless....how much I dislike to fly, I do love seeing all of these landscaping wonders shot from the sky. I'll take a window seat any day to see what is going on outside. Maybe one day I will even start to enjoy the process? Who knows?
