They will be finished their hike before we start ours. We did however spend an afternoon with them in the city of Arusha of Friday.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-38162714961383508522021-01-24T00:01:00.561-05:002021-01-24T00:01:00.561-05:00Nice to have experienced some “royal” treatment wh...Nice to have experienced some “royal” treatment while flying. China Airlines also provide good meals and a full bar. But having real silverware was a real pleasant surprise! Wonder if you will cross paths again with that young couple on your hike?

We were really impressed with them and would fly again with them any time!<br /><br />No, we were not tested but they had told us that they had had Covid back in November. Having said that no one here in Tanzania wears a mask, well I shouldn't say no one because the bigger hotels I believe will still make you wear one in certain conditions but other than that, NO one wears a mask here, life goes on as normal.

If we had wanted to leave the airport in Doha, Qatar then a PCR test would have been needed but it wasn't necessary for transiting passengers When we arrived at the airport in Tanzania, we had to fill out a tracing form and get our temperatures checked but that was all. Leaving will be another story as we will most likely need a PCR test to go almost anywhere else but that is also two months away and we all know how fast things change.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58254679304706096492021-01-21T15:27:46.853-05:002021-01-21T15:27:46.853-05:00The airline food (and drinks!) looked amazing.

Kind of surprised to see you all in the car with no masks, though. Had everyone been tested? That would make me nervous, if not.

I also remember being very young and traveling on Wardair, a charter airline that we took on from Canada to England and they would serve delicious steaks on Royal Doulton china. It felt like first class but it was the same for everyone on the plane.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87315838993165281332021-01-20T17:58:44.988-05:002021-01-20T17:58:44.988-05:00Nice Meals.
