I'm now home!

Hi everyone! I’ve finished the 14 days in quarantine in Melbourne & I am now home!  I have been home for almost one week. I have been spending a lot of time with my family. In Australia, the COVID-19 restrictions are slowly easing. Each state & territory is different. In New South Wales, you can have up to 5 visitors in your home. Up to 10 people can meet outside. Of course, you must maintain 1.5m social distancing. Some cafes & restaurants have now reopened as well. So, over the weekend, I met up with some of my friends, who I haven't seen since December! What is the situation like in Spain?

I'm Back in Australia

Hello everyone! I hope you are staying safe & well.  Sadly, I returned to Australia last week. I decided to leave Spain because of the situation with COVID-19.  Currently, in Australia, anyone who enters from another country must complete mandatory quarantine for 14 days. So, I am now in Melbourne (in Victoria) quarantined in a hotel. I don't live in or near Melbourne. So, after my 14-day quarantine ends, I can go home, but I will need to catch a flight from Melbourne to Sydney.  To return to Australia from Zaragoza, I travelled for 4 days! On Monday, I took a bus from Zaragoza Central Bus Station to Madrid - Barajas Airport. Later that day, I caught a flight to London. I stayed in London for 2 nights and on Wednesday, I caught my flight back to Australia. It took 22 hours to get from London to Melbourne. The plane stopped in Perth (in Western Australia) after 16 hours to refuel. Then, the plane flew from Perth to Melbourne and here I am! I really enjoyed workin

Hello everyone, it's Alicia! Welcome to my blog, About Australia, from Spain . Here,  you can continue to learn all about Australia & about myself.  Here is a photo that I took last year of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
