52° North, we have returned to The Netherlands and it is spring.

Just returned to Heelweg and Ukatani after spending  winter in Florida..and the last month in isolation for the Covid-19 virus.
It is a different world now and there are many different rules and regulations.
Here in countryside in the east of The Netherlands is is very quiet and peaceful.  We will continue to quarantine and self isolate here for a further 14 days, to ensure that we are not carrying the virus.
I was first denied boarding the flight to travel to NL as only Dutch citizens and family are admitted at this time.  We did have a copy of our Dutch  marriage certificate (43 years) and eventually I was permitted to travel.
There were only about 30 Dutch passengers on our A 300 aircraft, but every seat on that aircraft was filled by Asians/Orientals who were completely covered with full hazmat medical gear, white coveralls, shoe covers, masks, faceshields, hoods gloves and goggles.
None of these passengers were travelling to Nl, but we're 'in transit', returning to Asia.
None the less we were a bit uncomfortable spending 10 hours or so closed up on an aircraft with so many people dressed like spacemen.
They were dressed like this and I did not see even one of them get out of their seat or use the WC on the flight.

They were dressed like this.
Upon arrival I was swiftly admitted and whisked to Ukatani by Maarten who picked us up.  The highway speed limit in NL now is 100 kph but little traffic due to the shut down, social distancing and other regulations in place.
Very glad to be here and away from the madness in the states.
