Still lounging in Amsterdam, champagne, cheese, froi gras, crackers, and getting caught up on Zoom meetings delayed and getting ahead with Skype meetings accelerated. All better now.
Met a cruise liner executive who had been stranded in Cape Town since end-March and she mentioned that the ships are busy again, w/ sight-seeing trips of 3-5 days duration, starting and ending at the same ports, as opposed to going from port to port.
Lodging host in Hout Bay Cape Town mentioned that her properties are booked solid November onward, mostly by folks from Britain. Our 5-months was an unexpected bonus to her.
The flight from Cape Town to Amsterdam was smooth, uneventful, so good, per boring is good in the new-normal.
Watched “Knives Out” - brilliant movie
Food was not as usual. All passengers in all compartments get a sealed bag of fruits, water, cracker, cheese, and a cold sandwich. Civilization cracked. Only a simple vegetarian hot meal served. Is all for 12-hours.
The flight from HK to Cape Town back on 29th February was much more preferred. Though the “Murder on the Orient Express” was also good.
