The hotel hosted a challenge to create something from the meal bags. I made use of the metal lamp that was in my room. It was a perfect shape for my gum tree. The leaves moved in the air conditioning.
I enjoyed knitting these colourful cosy socks.
The only people I saw during the 14 days were nurses for a covid test on day 2 and day 12, then a doctor with police escort on day 13 who confirmed negative test result and gave me a letter authorising my check out on the final day. It was exciting getting the wristband which eased the check-out process.
Although it’s been mandatory, this quarantine has been a good experience, a retreat, time to reflect and recharge after a hectic and intense year.

Seems like it all went very well and I am totally impressed about how creative you have been! I’m sure it is not something you want to repeat though. And I suspect it is not as well run over here!

There have been some hiccups here, with the virus getting into the community. My hotel was well organised. I enjoyed have the time to be creative, no rush, no work getting in the way.

It’s a shame the virus is spreading over there considering how tight the country has been.

It had to catch us as some point and it is forcing vaccination rates up and hopefully will lead to open our international border. So you still have family in Australia?

It was so good to read your positive way of getting through the quarantine period Ruth. The media does tend to feed us the negative side of the quarantine experiences of travelers. I’m impressed with the gum tree art.

Thank you. It has been good for me to reflect on the experience six months later.
