Slovakian style...

few words about the contest it self... Now we are passed the half way to get the contest valid. The Q-flight is done, so is the free program. We started today the 1st unknown, there are 8 different ones there, where every pilot has picked one, which they will fly. Already finnished the first group, meaning 18 pilots. The weather forecast is very promising, +27 for tomorrow, +28 for friday... should be able to finnish that, and maybe even fly the 2nd unknown.

But ok, I seriously have to tell you something about this place. The airfield is nice, it is located between some  highlands and the Carpathian mountains. Here the mountains are not that high, but as a finnish girl, I can really appreciate the view. Quite something we don't have back home. At the airfield the infra is quite nice, there is a big hangar, which does not accommodate all the airplanes, but at least some of them. There is also a briefing room, judges room, juryroom, a restaurant and so on. So the facilities are fair enough.

Which brings me to food. I have to say, the food is pretty good here. We have the breakfast in the hotel (which is pretty amazing, me having a room with a bedroom, livingroom, bathroom etc, in case I haven't mentioned). The breakfast is ok, but some of us are missing the bacon... :) There is plenty of fresh bread and all things, yogurt, cerials, etc. and very good coffee. Lunch is at the airfield  and there is normally a soup at first and then they will bring the "real food" to the table. Today it was some chicken, fried potatoes (no french fries, but those that you fry on the pan) and some veggies. We got some fresh watermelon to the judging line along with some "candy bars" with waffle and chokolate, along with coffee of course. Dinner was also in the "briefing room" and there were french fries and a "cheese steak". It was very nice. Most of the time there is to much food, that I can hardly finnish it, And normally I can't :)

Yesterday we ate at the local restaurant near to the hotel and whoa, I could live with a plate like that for few days at home... Excellent, must say. And what pleases me much, is that there were 8 of us having a dinner, some of us had starters, some of had desserts, there were few beers, some glasses of red wine, some water etc.... and for the 8 people, it costed 120 euros, so basicly you can eat a hell of a lot with 15 euros...

There is some videos you might want to check out also on the contest sites along with some photos. Just go to www.eaac2011.sk and from the gallery you'll find out more.

Well, should be getting some sleep, tomorrow will then flying continue...
