sorry no more posting lately. I'm in Belgium or Paris for a month...maybe I'll post some pictures from here. I've been laughing at our tourists/clowns but there are quite some interesting specimens too around....
these shots of Kili were done on my way out of Tanzania. I usually fly with Ethiopian Airlines, cute stewardesses for one reason. The pilots surprised me by slowing down the Boeing and turning a bit around the top of Kilimanjaro. Airlines pilots are experiencing a Big Brother atmosphere in big companies....
of course, I wish there were no bloody thick windows which distort the sharpness of the pictures by diffracting the light rays...I also wish the pilots had flown straight above...but, hey, that was a nice surprise nevertheless!
that was a problem free flight. Only one anecdote to mention: I had some nuns next to me for one leg. We were sitting across the emergency aisle. Once in the air, 2 Muslims, shaven head but long beard in typical traditional outfit, came in to pray in that aisle, they dropped a carpet slightly to the right and kneeled down. But they had asked with a smile the sisters, not me, if they were OK with the exercise. The sisters smiled back and nodded. Quite a different exchange from what we read daily in the news....
