Unlucky: from a few days, France restrict a lot all kind of international moving . We always respect the anti-covid measures but have really no choice with our one way flight to Mexicali:  time is running before SP hurricane season... we expect a very long day !

Nice airport 5h00, no way to get the boarding card before a physical presence: Air France staff ask for our written derogations, but we have to show much more with boats papers, spare parts (15kg excess luggage) , shipyard stamped letter and our other reverse one way flight (Mexicali->Nice) in april. Smart hostess understand that we don't leave for a 2 weeks holiday in Cancun or Acapulco... and we board.

Europe: first step: this first monday flight from Nice to Paris is not empty... but far to be full.

Europe second step : junction with Pierre in Roissy; Pierre use an empty TGV train from Bruxelles (his photo left) ...no control for him.

Roissy...really a dead zone ...

...or a ghost airport this morning ...

...but a bit more life when boarding to the Paris-Mexico gate...

3rd step is the flight Paris-Mexico, a pleasant flight with space in the plane ...but the difficult part (4th step) is waiting for us in Mexico airport where we have to get back all luggage and move as donkeys to the domestic terminal.

Of course mexican custom block us .  After long spanish negociations showing the transit papers of ALCYONE,  I have to pay some discounted fees for the boat'spare parts in the suitcase.

5th step: flight Mexico-Mexicali: almost full !

6th a final step of this long day: MEXICALI arrival, Lupita from "Sleep Inn" hotel unlike Air France is getting my 9 month medicine in the fridge !

MEXICALI Tuesday: Marcos arrival from Puerto Penasco

MEXICALI: First restaurant from so many months !

MEXICALI: Donald Trump world legacy: His famous wall

Same desert road as 9 month ago...

...and 4 hours later: junction  with ALCYONE in CABRALES ASTILLEROS

The cat is dirty outside with a lot of sand, but clean n dry inside: we ll sleep inn from tonight !
