Spain: Brit traveller slams 'ridiculous' amber list rules after spending £450 on tests
It was during her stay that a swathe of new travel rules came into force, including the traffic light travel list.
As a result, Sarah found herself in an amber list country and facing mounting testing costs in order to return home to the UK.
“I flew out right on the cusp [of restrictions],” she explained.
“I flew out on December 19, and then the next day [the Government announced] London was in Tier 4.
“I thought ‘Thank God I’m in Spain.’ I only went out for Christmas, but I ended up staying because then Boris brought in all these rules in January and I just thought: ‘It’s ridiculous. There’s no point going back.’”
Sarah was able to work from home overseas, trying to maintain her UK-based business. Eventually, though, she knew she had to return to London.
