I won a holiday for a weeks tour  of amazing places and hotels in tenferire.. . We got here and it's all been cancelled 😔 we are in lock down in our hotel room. No pool no public places no leaving the hotel at all. Absolutely gutted our holiday just me and my partner one we couldn't afford. I understand why because of the coronavirus but if we had pulled our we would of lost the holiday. We were waisting for it ti be rescheduled but it wasn't. We have no idea when we can come home it's a waiting game x fingers crossed its soon as we have children at home x

    It was horrible x we couldn't use anything there we had to stay in our room x police and all around. I cried most days. 
    Just awful x please keep safe everyone xx 
  • Glad you are home safely.  Such a shame it turned out to be such a horrible experience.  The next holiday win will be much better I'm sure!  Take good care of yourselves x
