An Odyssey in the Second Year of the Plague – One More U-Turn

Bust of Odysseus in Stavros, Ithaca

 














It's wonderfully surreal to be back in Ithaca and visiting the site of the Palace of Odysseus.

I gambled on things taking a turn for the better while I was here: i.e. that Greece would go from amber to green.

But against all the odds – and after 18 months of refusing to do so – the UK government appears to have acted sensibly... and turned Portugal from green to amber, thus quashing hopes of Greece and Spain getting some sort of reprieve.

Will I be doomed to roam the Mediterranean until at length the gods decide to allow me to return home?
