You know Sweden doesn’t have any isolation, people are told to be adults about it and keep a distance, wash your hands and gatherings of 50 or more are forbidden. They have so far 6000+ infected people, 350+ dead and of course those who have recovered. I have been following what is happening there and yesterday they had fewer infections and fewer deaths. So I don’t know what is best for all of us to do, only time will tell.

@Cyklone No actually it’s not a nightmare for us, just one big adventure. We have plenty to eat, somewhere to sleep, a TV with lots of channels, internet and phone. All is well 😊😃😃

I don't mind losing a few hundred of those hardcore praying Repugs.

The problem is that the infect everyone else.

I am in Perth, Australia.

Does it bother you?

Jolanta replies on Apr 1, 2020:

Not really but I would rather do the quarantine in my own home, with my own stuff.

Paracosm comments on Mar 31, 2020:

I'm trying to decide if being quarantined in a hotel would be awesome or hellish.

Jolanta replies on Apr 1, 2020:

Its not hellish. We are in a luxury hotel, the room is very big with a nice outlook overlooking Swan River. They feed us three times a day. Someone leaves it outside our door and knocks for us to pick it up. We have TV, internet and the phone. Of course I would rather do it in own home but this is where we arrived and it has to be here. All is good but I can see how some people would go crazy.

Days and days on the ocean sailing towards Australia trying to keep fit.

If you're not australian, I hope you're not expecting to come ashore in aussie. After taking off our citizens, we've ordered all cruise ships out of our waters.

Jolanta replies on Apr 1, 2020:

Well I am Australian and already here in quarantine in Perth for 14 days. We lucky to be on a virus free ship. We only had New Zealanders and Australians on board. The New Zealander were flown home after health checks. There is no way we can ignore quarantine as we are in a hotel with guards night and day. All is good 😊

RoyMillar comments on Mar 29, 2020:

calm waters for the tendering

Jolanta replies on Mar 30, 2020:

Yes, we were very lucky there. Most people were elderly, some had walking frames or walking sticks.

12th March. The Java sea, as calm as can be.

RoyMillar comments on Mar 29, 2020:

nice,lets hope it is not the perverbile calm before the storm

Jolanta replies on Mar 29, 2020:

It is not. All this time it has been ever so calm, like gliding on a surface of a mirror.

Good pictures. If you can, will you also please provide cultural and historical significance of the places? It will bring more meaning to the photos.

Jolanta replies on Mar 29, 2020:

Lombok is one of the islands in Indonesia. Very poor. Islam is the main religion but there are others living in peace with eachother. Young people go there to surf. Lots of pearls to buy.

I am on Vasc Da Gama in the port of Fremantle Western Australia waiting to be put into 14 days ...
