The 2 week delay was because they finished the last 10 weeker 2nd jab and then had to wait 2 weeks for the first 12 weeker 2nd jab. They could only have avoided the 2 week gap by changing the 12 weekers to 10 weekers. Correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 So, the tea-leaf and crystal-ball gazers are starting to get their excuses for gross incompetence in ahead of the inquires. And this, from Tildsley, of the high priests of 'keep the barstewards locked down' cult: (from today's DT) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indian manufactured AZ isn’t authorised or recognised by the European Medicine Agency emergency use authorisation. So the App won’t help! Both my AZ doses were from batch numbers starting with P. You can have my card if it helps, just talk in a slightly higher tone. (Joke, BTW.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ok going to Spain via Dublin Rosslare and Bilbao or Heysham Portsmouth/Plymouth Santander. Can’t do it via France. Was hoping to go Barcelona Italy Greece Bulgaria with ferry/car ( or France Switzerland Italy Greece Bulgaria or Holland Germany Czechia Slovakia Hungary Romania Bulgaria) to sort out apartment for ski season. Last occupant was Paul. He did an emergency runner to get home from his ski trip before borders closed in March 2020. I gotta admire your ambition!

The overland trip is a pig. But the ferries to Spain and Spain Italy and Italy Greece mean no long drives. The ferries are mini cruise liners. You travel whilst you at, drink and sleep. Via Dublin drive time to Bulgaria is Dublin Rosslare 90 mins ( contrast via Portsmouth or Plymouth which can take 7-10 hours depending on road works/congestion. Bilbao Barcelona 5 hours Civitavecchia Ancona 3 hours Igoumenitsa Bulgarian border 5 hours. idea was to get to my Spanish holiday home, have a rest for a week. IOM to BCN takes 48 hours if you get timing right. 34 of that is on board ferries. Pack some stuff to take to Bulgaria. 18 hour ferry trip to Italy. A week in Perugia en route. 18 hour ferry trip to Greece. Couple of weeks in Bulgaria. Without the stop over it’s 48 hours door to door with 36 hours on board including two nights sleep. Pack stuff to take to Spain and bring back here. Week in Greece on Thassos, then ferry to Italy and then to Spain. Couple weeks in Spain. Home. might alter itinerary to have few days in Corsica or on Corfu as the ferries stop off at both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go Plymouth to Santander every year (well normally) and love it. Not quite as travel savvy as you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oooohtony Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Was at the airport earlier to pick some visitors up. Loads coming off the plane and a steady stream though the vaccine hub. All good. Nice that after over a year of no tourists the first thing they meet when coming out of arrivals is temporary fencing and bloke running a cutter to re do the block paving on the crossings ffs. Over a year there have been hardly any visitors coming though, and this week they are doing road works right outside the terminal. Bigger things to worry about in life, but just seems like a typical lack of foresight or forward planning. Like opening a new shop or office and having the signage put up as your first visitors are arriving. First impressions etc etc. Lots of jovial people looking forward to weekend in the pubs, and lots of people being reunited after way to long. Overall a pretty uplifting sight with plane engine noise in the background and a real buzz about the place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conversation went a bit like this "Yes, we're staying in Douglas" "ah, I'm sorry about that" "Oh ha, do you mean your promenade?" "Well..." "That wasn't in the brochure..." Anyway they were happy to be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
