It’s Monday the 16th and we wake up to another beautiful day here in Conil depite a chilling wind from the North reminding us that it is day 2 of lockdown.

We assess options. Two outfits were planning to leave on Wednesday to travel through Spain and France but they just heard all Brittany Ferries will be cancelled soon. Ester from the site tells us they will be allowed free travel through Spain but can’t guarantee the border to France will be open. Once you leave the site, the State of Emergency doesn’t permit re-entry.

They are also now re-assessing their options and we decide to stay here. If the lockdown continues beyond 15 days medication might be a problem, in particular a specialist asthma inhaler for Moe.

We head into Conil as we are allowed to do if visiting a Pharmacy or Supermarket. Without prescriptions (we show empty boxes), we secure 1 months worth of the common meds for 23 Euros. No surprise they haven’t got Moe’s inhaler.

Pharmacy number two also don’t have the inhaler but in a fantastic show of service, promise they’ll locate one by 5pm. They do and it’s a whopping 34 Euros. Not an issue under the circumstances but in Blighty, it can take days to weeks to track this down…

Next we hit the supermarkets. Only one person per family group allowed, security on the door and yellow lines at the checkout to mark out the 1m “safe” distance. Nothing is in short supply except our favourite red wine, “The Guv’nor” – but that’s not entirely unusual.

There is no hand santiser, gloves or masks available anywhere. We have created our own hand sanitiser but don’t tell anyone.

Our friends in Cadiz are rounded up by the Guardia and told to stay off the streets. They will be hoping that the trains to Sevilla are operating tomorrow and also the BA flight back to London.

In an act of sardonic madness, we throw a BBQ for Paul and Andrea and listen to a new Spotify playlist – “Coronavirus Awesome Mix 2020”. Copious amounts of food, beer and wine are consumed. Ester from the campsite tells us to remain 1m apart!

Troubling times – stay safe everyone.
