• Admin rainy day. Last day in Tassie

    13. maaliskuuta 2020, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Got up outside Auntie Jan's house. Joined for some breakfast then started on the days admin.
    We needed to book an onward flight from the Philippines otherwise we would not be allowed in.
    Sounds simple huh.... however we saw a news article saying that the country would be in lockdown for 30 days from the 15th of March, to limit the Coronavirus outbreak. We were landing on the evening of the 14th. But the visa only lasts 30 days.
    A few hours of going round in circles of what to do and other locations brought us back round to just going anyway, as they have good healthcare, have very few cases compared to the rest of the world, and are taking good steps to stop the spread. Plus potentially being in a hot country with sailing, surfing and diving probably wont be that bad.
    So booked a changeable flight to Kuala Lumpur for early April.
    That faff done we set off towards Richmond. Didnt end up doing anything apart from lunch as it was raining hard and we tried calling airlines and embassies for extra advice.
    I tried calling the police to get a report number from the number plate incident. Cant do it over the phone. Drove to one place... closed. Drove to another, 30 mins of statements later I had a incident number for potential insurance claims.
    Then drove to the van rental to show the damage. He said it was only minor and not to worry. 😃
    Cleaned out the van and went for an early night.
    Faff and admin day done.
