Hello
I have not heard from you since the day before the Show and I wish you would
tell me how you managed to have a new judge in such a short time. Hope it
all went well!!
I am so terribly sorry for all problems I must have caused for you.
You see, when I finally had the Visa Papers from you I was very happy as I
thought that was what I needed. It takes 2 weeks to have a Visa in Norway so
it would have been too late for me to apply for one at that short time.
When I checked in from Bergen there were not any comments from the
officials. Coming to Oslo I showed Passport and what I believed was the Visa
I needed, and again there was not any comment from the Aeroflot Officials.
So I was certain that everything was all right with my papers. If they had
told me that my papers were NOT OK - I could have saved myself all the
problems I had later on.
It was therefore a great chock for me when I showed the papers in Moscow and
was told in a very unfriendly way that I was not allowed to come into
Russia. I tried to explain but with no help. I called the Embassy for help -
but with no luck.
It was a dreadful time at the airport; I think I have never been treated so
badly before!! I sat and waited for more than 7 hours at the same bench
without food or water as I could not leave the spot they have told me to
wait. It was first long after midnight I had my papers and passport back -
and the message that I would be sent back to Norway the following morning.
It was very traumatic!!
I could not face to sit at a bench the whole night. I rented a room at
airport hotel so I could stretch my back for a couple of hours.
I came back to Bergen at 1830 Sunday. I wasted a lot of time and a lot of
money for nothing.
I had been looking so much forward to see the Russian dogs again so this was
a terrible disappointment as you can understand.
