Anyone else stranded on continent? We were due on the Santander ferry on the 23rd which has now been cancelled so stuck on a campsite on the Algarve for possibly a few months as borders are apparently now closed?

We'd rather be stuck in Portugal than Finland, in spring!I’m stuck in Finland. Good luck!
Agreed, although its like the tropics in Helsinki compared to Nordkapp where I was near last week.We'd rather be stuck in Portugal than Finland, in spring!
Here is link to another MH forum for people stuck in Portugal.Anyone else stranded on continent? We were due on the Santander ferry on the 23rd which has now been cancelled so stuck on a campsite on the Algarve for possibly a few months as borders are apparently now closed?
TAP are still flying from Lisbon. If not direct to the UK you could transit via Zürich which is allowed.Flights from UK to Lisbon still running?
I would pick even Greenland over current Italy anytime. And Spain Portugal just a couple weeks behind.We'd rather be stuck in Portugal than Finland, in spring!
As we read somewhere: "Our (grand)parents were called to war. We are called to our couch (or Cali camping chair, in your cases). We can do it!"
State of Emergency for an initial 15 days starts here at midnight, usual conditions, have to clearly justify why your out of your house, and only permissible for those who work, and to get food from the shop or to go to chemist.
Stranded in Andalusia as ferry from Santander cancelled. No prospect of return until 14/4. earliest but prob much later. Lockdown in operation with solo visits only to food shop/bank/ pharmacy. Guardia Civil imposing on the spot fines of €300-€1000 if you’re taking the mickey. British embassy has issued a letter for drivers to carry (in Eng/Spanish/French) promising you are going home and not being a fool basically. Of course this only applies if you’re going to Calais which is still open for ferry travel and tunnel. That’d be two day journey for us, no hotel ( they’re all shut) and Calais might close whilst your trying to get there. Best stay put and probably safer health wise as UK about to suffer what Italy and Spain has and exacerbated by thick arrogant Brits at home thinking it’s all a load of tosh. Spanish think we’re idiots carrying in like nothing has happened. I agree.Anyone else stranded on continent?

I agree wholeheartedly. Stay put if you can.Best stay put and probably safer health wise as UK about to suffer what Italy and Spain has and exacerbated by thick arrogant Brits at home thinking it’s all a load of tosh. Spanish think we’re idiots carrying in like nothing has happened. I agree.
Such as? There are road blocks and borders police to contend with so I’m a bit puzzled what you mean.Your the man on the ground and know your own circumstances but I know that personally I would be doing everything I could to get home.

Clearly you have absolutely no idea what measures the majority of people are taking voluntarily in the UK! Furthermore, it is very unlikely that the impact in the UK will be as serious as it has been in Italy due to the very specific and unusual demographics of that country. Things are certainly going to get much worse and I'm not putting my head in the sand, but the British habit of always doing their own country and people down really hacks me off particularly when it is in itself born out of ignorance!Stranded in Andalusia as ferry from Santander cancelled.
