The 30-min inter-island flight Anjouan to Moroni was four hours delayed. Thay said: do not worry, here it is normal…
When I finally landed on the Grand Comore I was surprised by gray landscape: after eruption of the volcano everything in Moroni is covered by 1-2 cm thick volcanic ash –like a powder. People on the streets wear masks to breath easier. After sunset the red lighting is visible over the crater of Mt Karthala – volcano peak towering Moroni – it is only 4-5 km away. Fortunately we do not see any other volcanic activity. Everybody prays for rain… I must survive in this ashes till tomorrow evening – no flights to Madagascar before!
Keep your fingers crossed, please!
