Dates: 04.12.2021 – 09.12.2021 RIX – CIA 04.12.2021: The Covid madness continues. Until now, we’d never had a trip where we genuinely didn’t know until the very last moment whether we’d even be able to go. Basically, two days before departure we finally decided – yes, we’re going. We’ve more or less gathered all the…
