Moscow-Amsterdam-Mexico City<\/h2>\n

\u201cNow you'll feel a little uncomfortable\u201d, \u2013 said the masked girl and quickly inserted a thin long flexible stick with a cotton swab on the end into both my nostrils alternately, and then scraped my throat with the other one.
\nIndeed, not a very pleasant sensation, although the whole procedure took less than a minute.<\/p>\n

This is the second time in the last two days I've had to endure this. It can't be helped, preparing for travelling in a pandemic is like a quest. In addition to the standard activities such as buying air tickets, insurance, visas, hotel reservations, etc., we have to take two Covid-19 tests, one not earlier than 72 hours and the second at the airport 4 hours before departure.<\/p>\n

In addition, it is necessary to fill in and print out health forms of a certain form in advance, as all countries have different requirements. All the papers must be filled out in English or another foreign language of the country of stay. But there are pluses: Sheremetyevo airport is half-empty, there are no queues at registration and passport control and all cafes are empty, so I have a glass of foamy drink before boarding and off I go. The journey begins!<\/p>\n

The A320 Airbus bound for Amsterdam on Aeroflot flight SU-2550 is also less than half full. For the third time, a pretty stewardess (though nothing is seen under the mask, all stewardesses at Aeroflot are pretty) asks me very politely to put on my mask, otherwise I will have to leave the plane. Apparently, right during the flight. I obey unquestionably, and half an hour later I take it off. But it's already official, because they brought food and for another half an hour you can chew, sneeze and cough without fear that you will be thrown out of the plane. Apparently the coronavirus doesn't infect while eating.<\/p>\n

Amsterdam met us with cold wind, snow and a long wait for the bus. At the entrance all the certificates and questionnaires were checked. The airport was empty, the impression was that apart from us a couple of dozen Indians from Mumbai had flown in and that was it. Most of the duty-free shops are closed. We found one working cafe, took a sandwich and a bottle of bad red wine in a plastic bottle. Two hours later we boarded the local airline KLM. A long flight across the Atlantic lay ahead.<\/p>\n
