Spain – Madrid ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Santander

Spain – Madrid ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Santander

So, how did I end up here?

I left the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง mid Feb’20, not perceiving what was rounding the corner (a global pandemic). Adeptly, the rest of the world knew, except the UK! Italy was already in lockdown, but as I flew out of Heathrow, you’d think everything was dandy with the world!

Now, I’m in Australia, and the UK has gone into a full lockdown. Clearly, I’m not one to be rushed, and I’m certainly not likely to modify that habit anytime soon. So I stayed in Oz as long as I could get away with! Which ended up been 15 months ๐Ÿ‘ Fair Dinkum!

Only a slight problem with returning to glorious Blighty, the UK Gov had now added Qatar ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ฆ (Doha), my transit hub, to their ‘red list’. This meant, I would’ve had to use one of their scrubs hotels around Heathrow. Well, that ain’t going to happen, so I had to make other plans.

Eventually, and a hell of a lot of planning and checking whether I could actually get in, was Spain ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ (amber list)!
