Qatar Airways To Start Flying To Serbia And Poland By End Of 2012

Qatar Airways announced further expansion to its European network with the launch of scheduled flights to Serbia and Poland by the end of the year taking the airline’s coverage across the Continent to 32 destinations.

Services to the previously announced destination of Belgrade, capital of Serbia, have been confirmed for a November 20 start with a thrice-weekly schedule via Ankara. Two weeks later, beginning December 5, the airline will add the Polish capital Warsaw to its rapidly growing European network operating flights four-times-a-week.

Both the Belgrade and Warsaw routes will be operated from Qatar Airways’ Doha hub with an Airbus A320 configured in two classes – 12 seats in Business and 132 in Economy. Each seat features an interactive audio and video entertainment system offering hundreds of movies, TV programmes and music channels.
Since the beginning of 2012, Qatar Airways has launched flights to Baku (Azerbaijan); Tbilisi (Georgia); Kigali (Rwanda); Zagreb (Croatia), Erbil (Iraq), Baghdad, Perth (Australia) and Kilimanjaro (Tanzania).

I had a great time in London last weekend. I`ve thought of writing more about what we did, what we saw... and I did write couple of stories (one was even published on sport portal Sportnet.hr (Rukometna razglednica iz Londona) and I wrote about ten sites that we visited in London. I event put the map of our route through London.

So, if you wanna see more pictures of London and get inspired, go check out my blog POSVUDUSHA. The text is in Croatian but soon I will put it in English. Till then, enjoy the pictures.

Thank you London for Olympic games!

I was in London this weekend and must say I had a great time!

I went to see the handball semifinals and finals. Croatian team played with France (but unforunately lost in semifinals) and Hungary (we won in finals for bronze medal). Besides this great sports event that is "a must" if you like sports, the Olympics are the biggest world event that gathers people from all over the world. You can realy feel this unity between people and everyone is happy, enjoying themselfes, smiling... It is a great experience.

The finals for the bronze are just about to start (Croatia - Hungary)

Luck has everything to do with my trip to London. Yes, it is remarkable how the Univers works when all your thoughts are focused on your wish.

I feel really lucky, because I know that for the lot of people this kind a trips are immposible (if you change the way you think, you can do any thing!)

I am going for only three days to watch and cheer for Croatian Hanball team. We play tomorrow with France, and on Sunday we should be playing for gold medal :) I have already prepared my camera, batteries are checked, passport is ready and that`s most important.

I can`t wait! Tomorrow morning... London... Olympics... Wow!
