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 :angry:
Almost, dare I say...expected? :sherlock:Quote:

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

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.
One of my favourite places is Malta.Quote:

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.
Couple cut short Benidorm stay as coronavirus measures shut down the resort - https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/t...-stay-17927196
Update please Uncle Bob. Are you ok to get back tomorrow?
From his last post, I doubt he can lift his head off the pillow let alone travel :hehe:Quote:

Go by train
from London St Pancras Eurostar and arriving at Benidorm via Paris Nord, Paris Gare De Lyon, Barcelona-Sants and Alicante - Luceros. The journey, including transfers, takes approximately 17h
The homeward leg takes the same time

When the volcano in Iceland went off, in 2010, a family I know got back as far as Madrid from their holiday in Costa Rica. No chance of trains back home as everything was booked up. They ended up hiring a car, one way, plus a ferry journey through Cherbourg as the tunnel was booked up (and Dover -Calais ferries). Cost them £2500 to get home. Under normal circumstances, getting home by train is a good shout. But we don't live in normal times.Quote:

I'm back. Thanks. Well that was certainly an experience I'll never forget. Half a day into a holiday and the whole country goes into lockdown. Stuck in our hotel room for days.
At least when it happens here we will be able to cook for ourselves and not live on crisps like many had to
The biggest balls up since Katiypour. Glad to know you're back. Don't knock a crisp sandwich though.
I hope you nicked all the big rolls and brought them back with you. Not long now and they will be currency! Get the jokes coming.Quote:

Bit Stupid to have gone really.....especially given Spain's statistics....
Sounds like the mother of all hangovers! Wishing you well for a speedy recovery.
