    Going to hell. Not.

    March 23, 2020 in Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    The Zanzibar flight is restricted to 50 persons and primarily designated for island tourists. According to the embassy my chances to get a slot are small so I don't risk all the stress getting there in half the time I would need. The mainland airport in Dar-es-Salaam is still in regular operation even though the flights to Germany are sparse with obscure transits for prices I would not pay right now where "thinks are still normal here". There might be skylifts planned later for all the other volunteers and expats scattered around but Tanzania has low priority at this moment. The embassy is currently gathering info about all people left in the country. All land borders are closed so whatever I will be doing, it'll all be branded "Tanzanian experience 2.0" ;-)

    As for now, I keep enjoying my coffee and fix some pending issues around the car. Maybe I continue tomorrow. Maybe not. This spot is just too pretty!

    If necessary, from here I can be in Dar within one day and the chances are high that my new mechanics' friends could take care of my car at their well-guared lawn.
