Quarantine day 12

 

Answered the door today (in my PJs, standards are really slipping) to a policeman, an army officer, a doctor, a nurse, and hotel staff. We can leave after midnight, we’re told. Tests are clear. We have paperwork about our quarantine. We’re good to go. Spend the day getting everything organised - cars, motel, pickups... hard to believe we can actually leave. We’re given tags to wear - bright red with COVID-19 written on it - I really feel like a leper now. 

Special treat this evening - Thai takeaway - it’s yummy. Our odd experience is coming to an end. We all agree that it wasn’t so bad at all. Time passed relatively quickly. Spend the afternoon packing and then Risk and Trivial Pursuit on the Switch. 

Call Mum - the excitement of our departure is contagious...
