Jumping ship

The inevitable happened at the hostel, the outdoor section required masks and was only accessible for eating, the pool closed, and everyone got confined to their rooms. That removed the last benefit to the hostel (it made heaps of sense when everything was open but not now) so we canned the rest of the stay and found an AirBnb for the remainder.

We just got here and have definitely made the right decision. We have couches, a TV, a kitchen and a balcony with a view. Hurrah. It's right on the waterfront but they've closed the outdoor beach and pool - swimming is completely off the cards sadly.

Despite the border closure we have been approved to return into Tasmania on the condition we quarantine at home and have covid tests on days 3 and 12 of our 14 day isolation period.

Now just to wait out what is hopefully the remainder of the lockdown until 1pm Friday, in substantially more comfort.Read more
