Tomorrow will mark the fourth week of the lock down and officially it has been extended until the 26th of April. Unofficially we are hearing that it will go until the 11th of May. Italian sources reported yesterday that the Spanish might be closing the borders to all incoming foreigners through the summer. Of course that would shut down a tourism industry that is already going to be devastated. The effects of such measures would be incalculable on the lifestyle in and around Marbella. It brings me to wonder how we will manage to return home in late June. Tuesday I will contact our Foreign Office and seek guidance on what we can do to return. Ideally we would return end of June, as foreseen, since for the moment we are better off here in this big house than in much smaller quarters at home. However, if the world turns to hell then Switzerland is probably the second safest place to be in the world, after New Zealand. I suppose Norway and Finland would also be very safe countries. There are a few with social systems and civilised people that would be safe for weathering the situation to come, if it becomes bad.
