Vladimir drove me to the airport at 09:45.
At the airport Vladimir wanted to say goodbye outside of the
airport but then he had a hunch that we should check in together as he was afraid
of my heavy back pack.
He was right, 1 kilo was supposed to be reduced from my back
pack, he talked to the desk supervisor and I was good to go without leaving
anything behind.
After I checked in my flight to Istanbul was delayed for 15
minutes. Few flights were delayed from Prague’s Vaslav Havel Airport, I thought
it just happened there but yet there were much more flights delays in Istanbul.
Many People especially Africans were complaining a lot for a
delay of 35 minutes saying Turkish Airline is not organized, I was quite
because to me it doesn’t make any different regarding that most of flights will
land to their destinations in the middle of the night even if they will be
delayed for 2 hours
In the other hand I wish these complainers should try to fly
via Dubai from Dar es salaam to Europe. Or Fly from Dar es salaam to Sierra
Leon, 10 hours waiting for connection is worse than 35 minutes delay.
According to my opinion these delays were caused by 30th of March
time changing in Europe. For example my flight to Dar es salaam from Istanbul
was supposed to be at 19:10 but it was changed to 18:10. It is rather difficult
for most Africans to understand this because time changing does not exist in
Africa
It’s called EU Daylight Saving Time, clocks are advanced by
one hour in spring and moved back in autumn to make the most of seasonal
daylight
Tanzanians say “Tembea
uone” it means travel for exposure, if you have enough exposure you can’t
complain over 35 minutes
The saga of my heavy weight back pack continued at Dar es
salaam airport while checking in for my flight to Mbeya. Fastjet transport 20kg
baggage and cabin baggage for 10,000 which you pay while buying a ticket. Any
exceeding kilo is charged 8,000 which I didn’t know. Before I checked in I
removed some stuffs for my brother and my mother but my back pack still had 10
kilos exceeded this is 80,000 TZS. I can’t leave any humanitarian aid behind, I
paid and continued to Mbeya
Heavy rainfall continued for 2 days in Mbeya caused turbulence
in the sky of southern highlands. Turbulence is what nervous fliers fear the
most when boarding an aircraft. In the sky Inside Fastjet Airbus A319 we were
safe until we landed at Mbeya airport at 15:30
Outside airport there were 3 journalists and albinos waiting
for my arrival as I was carrying sun creams for albinos that’s why I didn’t want
to leave any humanitarian aid behind because I didn’t want to disappoint these beneficiaries
Im at home and ready to finish the roof of girls dormitory
in Mahango but first I have to clean my house and the environments around it. My house corridor is cobwebbed, My
parking lot is covered by Grasses, my front trees garden is indefinable with
long grasses growing so fast because of nonstop rains. .
