Looks like the Balearics are about to introduce fast masks to be worn at all times when you are outside, even if it’s just a single person.
FFSI was going to book a trip to Majorca at the end of August, but not now. I do not fancy a holiday with two young children, all walking round with masks on.
“Face masks are not mandatory at the beach, at swimming pools, when carrying out sports activities, or at work unless people are working in public spaces or there is public access.”

So what happened to Portugal?
Sure I read not long ago that they had done well and that those in charge had pointed out that they only had one land border to deal with.
Mind you, we have no land borders yet look at how they feked up here.
Not keen on the Brits infecting them probably.Sure I read not long ago that they had done well and that those in charge had pointed out that they only had one land border to deal with.

Hopefully I get my money back and they cancel the flights.

Your article even says
“Face masks are not mandatory at the beach, at swimming pools, when carrying out sports activities, or at work unless people are working in public spaces or there is public access.”
So basically when doing anything touristy you’re good. Having a drink on the go seems to be the perfect way to exempt yourself. When you consider how many exemptions there are in there you do have to question the sanity of any such decree. Why not just say mandatory in shops which is about all that is left?“Face masks are not mandatory at the beach, at swimming pools, when carrying out sports activities, or at work unless people are working in public spaces or there is public access.”

It is entirely sane, because it isn't about the virus and public health. It is about the potent combination of fear and politics. Dan_1981 said:

No one got opinions and thoughts on the status of Turkey, flights to Dalaman and the coastline round those ways ? 
Hmm also interested... seems to be one of the few destinations that TUI haven't screwed the price on. PHlL said:
This is good to hear.
Can I ask if there are toilets open at the terminal? Understand you're not allowed out of the car on the shuttle, and every year over the summer Eurotunnel can't manage the bookings so can queue for a couple of hours before even getting to check-in so in need of the toilet will likely be inevitable.
I suggested a she-wee for the car and an empty bottle to the other half, but that didn't go down well...
Terminal and it's loos were open. Queues non existent - from turning off the M20 to getting on our train was about 20 minutesCan I ask if there are toilets open at the terminal?

I'll be there at 5am tomorrow morning for the 5.50 crossing - hopefully that situation persists! Then a long drive to Beziers.
Jealous. Once you get onto the A75 autoroute la Méridienne you get some great scenery inc. Millau Viaduct and Beziers will be fast approaching.Got a long 3 three week wait with the worry of a wave 2 lockdown which could jeopardise. Same route down, but a little further down to Narbonne.

We're heading to a similar area - Souillac. Any tips on good things to see/do would be welcomed!
We're having a stop at Tours on the way down and Le Mans on the way home, it's a bit of a slog with the caravan on the back!
Rocamadour is around half an hour from Souillac and worth a look.We're having a stop at Tours on the way down and Le Mans on the way home, it's a bit of a slog with the caravan on the back!
