Everywhere we visited, the vast majority of people wore masks, even in the open air, and I saw several instances of security staff refusing people entrance to shops and museums if they were not wearing their masks correctly.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-88846632768814749432022-01-21T16:23:48.828+00:002022-01-21T16:23:48.828+00:00I always enjoy your travelogues.
