just had told us about louleid. "he can arrange everything, and he can solve just about any problem you might have".

it appeared to be true, almost. rudis problem was to get onto a flight to spain as soon as possible. louleid showed up in a military uniform early in the morning.

we went to the airport where he took rudi by the arm and led him behind the counters, to customs and through immigration. (rudi called later on his mobile, explaining, that he had no idea how everything had happened, but that suddendly he found himself sitting in a plane to sevilla, as intended.

after seeing off rudi, louleid explained that he'd once been commander ot the securitiy forces of the airport.

next stop was the senegalese embassy, where louleid wasn't succesful in arranging for our visas the same day. this means that we'll have to wait three days, as the embassy is closed on fridays and saturdays...
