Off to benidorm next week should I be worried?

[life on mars]

Off with the boys next Friday for 4 nights what's the chances of it being a nightmare and not going? Bit worried if we'll get there.
It's only bloody flu

Got here this morning for 4 days and it's gone on Lock-down from midnight tonight. All bars restaurants shut for 2 weeks. Cosmic. Unbelievable!

That's shit luck.

That's shit luck.

Orrrrrr...incredibly predictable

Appalling bad luck for Bob. The couple in the story below though would take some beating in the category of nightmare holidays.

Teenage couple from Manchester arrive at Malta hotel for two-night holiday only to be told they cannot leave room for 14 days... and have to pay for it - https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...malta-17923137

My daughter lives in Malta and is due home tomorrow for a visit, if she gets to the UK, no saying when she’ll be allowed back into Malta.

Unbelievable?

All Jet2 flights to Spain are now cancelled. We've booked with them to go to Menorca in June, returning to Es Grau which has to be one if the best places to visit. Still, if one life is saved due to cancellations like this, we can always go to Barry.

Unbelievable?

Very believable in fact.

Sorry missed this, thus my post earlier.
That really is not good news with feck all to spend your winnings on.

You did foresee a few issues though and, true to form, gambled a bit so I guess bad luck.
Hope you manage to get a bit of sun and managed to fill the fridge with San Miguel

I know someone who has been told to stay in his Benidorm hotel room.He has to stay in his room foe 2 weeks.Although he can go to the bar and buy a drink and take it back to his room.

[life on mars]

I feel for anyone, who has paid for a holiday and has a limit budget , a lot folk use these spring periods for a cheaper deal

[delmbox]

Very believable in fact.

Almost, dare I say...expected?

Hold on a minute. I'm an oldie and voted remain.

I Hope you are ashamed of yourself...

A Benidorm expat resident who runs a Spanish website for Brits was on the radio this morning advising people to leave Spain now as all flights to the UK are likely to be banned by Tuesday at the latest. Apparently Easy Jet are arranging a couple of repatriation flights today so the only likely option will be Ryan Air until the Spanish government's ban comes into effect.

The problem with that is what is happening in America now where hundreds cram into compact airports as the very opposite to "social distancing".

We are having a ball at the moment in our hotel room. I'm with Edinburgh Blue who used to post on here and 14 others getting bolluxed.
Not allowed out the hotel now only in our rooms and down for food in the restaurant.
Got a good Bluetooth speaker banging out the tunes in the sun on our balcony.
The reality is though, we don't leave until Tuesday.
This will definitely be happening in the UK guys so be warned.
It's mental. I've posted loads of videos on my Facebook page of the streets below. It's like a ghost town. Cars with speakers on the roof warning that anyone caught outside will be arrested and to stay indoors.
Our hotel shuts down completely on Tuesday when we leave along with most other hotels in benidorm.
We will be truely in the shit if British Airways cancels flights after Monday.

My daughter lives in Malta and is due home tomorrow for a visit, if she gets to the UK, no saying when she’ll be allowed back into Malta.

One of my favourite places is Malta.

Here's a Benidorm article with pics of tourists drinking cans on the street because the bars and restaurants are shut. No-one is allowed on the beach either. The story says there's been 0 Benidorm coronavirus deaths.
