Siciliy out then  ;D


Europe's most active volcano erupted again in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Mount Etna has had spurts of activity recently.

Catania International Airport was temporarily closed after Tuesday's eruption.

No need to fly to Greece you can (or could) sit on a coach for 3 days instead. Slept on the beach for 6 weeks, that's been stopped too (I was a student). Sand in everything and soap doesn't work in sea water...

I wouldn’t do coach but I’d do train.  I’d fly out of choice, you are there quicker.  It can’t see us going abroad until the Autumn (if all goes well with infection rates and vaccines)

So - easyjet etc. offering flights out of the UK.  However: how many people are aware that governments in mainland Europe are slagging off our vaccines? suggesting that their public don't take them ? and are now at least 3 weeks behind us with the vaccination programmes?

Wonder if they would have had a different attitude had the UK remained in Europe?  How much sour grapes around our vaccines is due to Brexit?  Call me a cynic but no way would I fly to an area that is unlikely to be safe.  C-19 can be carried even by those who have been vaccinated, until evidence says otherwise.  So those in mainland Europe who have resisted being vaccinated will pose a risk to those in the UK who go on holiday.

Now is the time for Boris to put a stop to outgoing flights to unsafe countries, I suspect that many in Europe rely on incoming travellers from the UK as well as those here who have properties in Spain etc..  If we can't travel 'outside' the areas where we live, why encourage flights abroad?

And James Mates in Venice to see how C-19 is affecting their travel industries: What's wrong with ZOOM like the rest of us?!?!

I expect that more Hotels will ask for clients not to have room service during their stays.  Although it's nice to have tidy sheets to get back into, it wasn't necessary when we were away in July.  For that brief 'show us the light' period  ::).
