Libya Travel Blogs

This morning I got that feeling that the ugly threatening realities of daily life is about to sneak up on me. It is the very last day of my holiday and I only got ½ day before I need to go to the airport and fly home. Only having half a day sets certain limits to what you can do - but then aga…
