Arrecife; Sunday, 15 March, 2020

Despite the original news being that the lockdown would come into force on Monday morning clearly overnight that position had changed and we woke up to being told that we were only allowed to leave the hotel to go to the pharmacy or to the airport.

After an early breakfast I had a whole day just hanging around inside the hotel. I headed down to the pool bar for a while, which was still open and serving drinks (but no food). I spent a couple of hours there sat in the sun, reading a book – and watching the police and lifeguards enforcing the lockdown on people who were still trying to sneak in a swim.

The highlight of the day was 18:30 when I was able to go down for dinner, and then after that it was back up to my room and another early night
