So the UK gov gave the green for Brits about 2 weeks ago to go to Portugal, one of the very few places with a country on the "Green" list.
Then of course it changed and now anyone not back here by (4am i think) Tuesday morning will have to self isolate when they get home. Which means the past 2 or 3 days has just been a mad scramble with people trying to get whatever the fuck flight they can back home. One of my friends got home yesterday. Said older folks etc were at the airports and covid test centres with very little info.
I have some sympathy with holidaymakers to be honest but not a lot. I don't get the whole "oh shit gov saying it's safe to go to let's all head to Portugal in our thousands". Knowing it was every chance of going tits up and back on the "amber" list.
While all this mask shit etc still going on i'm willing to write this year off again for foreign travel....unless they do announce all restrictions lifted.
The thought of even sitting on a flight with a wee mask on is enough to put me off.
I'll wait. Will take a few drives over the Summer and actually visit places here that i have never been to before yet are probably more scenic that most places i could possibly visit abroad...
