In Victoria we’ve got 1 case of COVID! A handful in the whole of Australia. An enviable situation when compared with the rest of the world.
Our borders are pretty much shut! Being an island continent it’s easy to achieve. No one flies in or out!
Though I doubt that’s the case. I’ve heard of people flying in and out for business! And whatever else. It’s just not publicised.
The government have just announced our borders will be shut til mid next year. There’s been an outcry of frustration!
Guess no travelling to anywhere for the foreseeable future.
Life goes on as normal here except for QR codes and masks on public transport and in hospitals.
This Sunday I’m off to the caravan show with Mr Wanderer. I’m looking forward to it.
I’ve been thinking and thinking. Rather than upgrading to a 2 bedrooms I might buy a campervan and go exploring.
I like this VW one called Trakkadu from Trakka. Just like a car but all decked out. It looks expensive but it would suit me to a T. I’m not keen to tow anything or having something too high or too big.
My treat yesterday at work! Not only did the nursing staff got treats so did we! We scored a cupcake each and a voucher for a hot drink. Since the cafe at the hospital is now in-house the girl that served me was like which size would you like? Large or small?
I ended up with a large Chai Latte!

Yummy treats!!! That would make my day! I’ve always dreamed of living an RV life.. Ok maybe not life but definitely an extended vacation!! We in Canada are in our big 3rd wave… 😭🙄😢 This time last year we had under 300 cases or so a day (and this was good! It was on a downward slope) … Now we’re in the 3000s…it’s unbelievable…

Sorry to hear! Our second wave was bad. I’m from Victoria and we had the longest lock down ever. Months and months. We had the 5km rule..only out for 4 reasons..curfew too at one stage.
Our one case recently quarantined 14 days in South Australia , negative tests all along. Flew back here to show symptoms. They think he caught it from the quarantining hotel.
I don’t want to go back to lock down. It was doing my head in.

The US is still being stupid. The county I live in had numbers drop, but I’m betting it is because no one wanted them to go up again. In early April we all got sick and my spouse STILL cannot taste most things. Which really bothers him, especially when it is chocolate! No testing was done, guys did visit doctors and the spouse was given sinus meds. My doctor suggested I go in after I’d been sick for ages, but didn’t feel good and by the time I was well enough to make an appointment to go in, I really did feel better!! My doctor is over the border in WA and we live in OR. On the vehicle, that looks like FUN. I’d have a terrible time backing it up, though. I’m much better with feet…lol

Sounds terrible! Of course if you don’t test the numbers would be low!
How far over the border Kris?

Less than 30 min! Most often persons this close to WA have physicians in Washington state. Because they generally have better reputations!

Oh I didn’t realise! I’m in a big city so don’t have a problem finding a good doctor. Plus with friends in the medical field it’s easy to find a recommendation

ugh..I wish!!! I changed my doctor to WA and since the guys work til later in OR, they have irritating OR physicians. The spouse has wanted a different OR doctor, but finding one is ridiculous!! Small city and he works about 60 min from WA. Where the house is happens to be about the center of between WA and OR!

Sounds complicated! One of the reasons I’d never move to the country. Over here it’s the same. Lack of medical care. Unless it’s a big regional city.

Vy, you might be interested in following the adventures of Chris and Marianne Fisher and their “Tread The Globe” videos. They’ve been stuck in Turkey for the last year, but they are hoping to continue on their voyage in their camper van. We watch each of their weekly videos without fail and support their venture with a modest monthly donation. – Marty
