The Goal Posts Have Moved Again!

So our borders have opened and people have been coming to see us, however, it has now all changed again!

It would now seem that people entering the Canary Islands can only do so if they've received a negative Covid test within 72 hours of travelling. This is for all people over 6 years old staying in the hotels and in registered tourist resorts. So where does this leave the others?
What about people coming to visit their families?, what about people who own their own apartments?, what about people staying in friends apartments? are they exempt? Have they not been in the same airports and on the same airlines as all the others? Also these tests are rumored to cost in excess of 100 pounds, so for a family of four, you're looking at at least 400 pound on top of the cost of the holiday. This could almost spell an end to last minute bookings and what about people that fly to The UK for example and stay there for two weeks, would they then need a test to come back. I'm guessing as long as they are resident here then probably not.
Also if you speak to almost anyone from the UK, they will tell you its nigh on impossible to get a test!
Once again, nothing adds up!
It is now looking like the UK will be back in Lock down from next week so maybe people will be unable to travel, we wait and see

We had a couple come in the bar a few days ago who had flown in from Wales. Now as far as I know Wales on lock down, however because they told me they'd come from a tiny village with no infections  they were OK. What about all the people they had been on the travelling with? what about all the people in the airport?

It's like we are having a carrot dangled in front of us and as soon as things begin to look up, the carrot is taken away. 

Its Halloween today and usually we would throw a big party in the bar. We would serve food, we would decorate and we would all dress up! This year it just doesn't feel quite right to advertise such a thing. We have however put some decorations up and I know that people have been busy making costumes and will be dressed up and we can't wait to see you all!

Until next time, Have a great weekend and stay safe
