Yes, the junk Il-18 plane from Mogadishu with friendly Russian crew landed yesterday on time. After an hour I was in Djibouti airport. I had a lot of stress there. It is Africa – nobody knew about my luggage announced to be send here from Nairobi. Finally after few telephone calls they found it – safely stored in the BA agent`s office. Yes, now I am smart again… I have the charger for my video camera, stock of film and anti-malaria drugs…
Djibouti taxi drivers are also smart. The fare from the airport to the town is 600 francs. If you do not know that they will charge you up to three times more… There is no money changing facility in the Djibouti airport, so bring with you small denominations of USD! 1 USD is worth 177 local francs…
