They sat on their chairs wondering how it had all become s0 vacant.
“Previously, we used to have so many customers that we didn’t have enough staff to meet their needs. But all that feels so far away. Despite our scrupulous attention to detail when it comes to sanitation, the numbers haven’t increased.”
As another day came to an end with a beautiful sunset looking over the sea, they knew that the pandemic had turned their life upside down.
In times of lockdowns, their home far away seemed like quite a lonely place to be in.

Hmm. Hotel owners must feel the pain of the pandemic even more than most householders because they have to keep the place clean and well maintained for the time they actually welcome guests.

Lockdowns have hit gastronomy and hotels hard, at least where I live. Good story.

Oh they sure have suffered a lot. Particularly for the tourism industry, this crisis seems like no other in modern history.

Beautiful photos. The pandemic has changed so much and we don’t even know the end results yet. Nicely written.

Thanks Brenda :). Not knowing the end is the thing which worries almost everyone.

Great pictures, excellent words to go with it.
I love letter X posts! Always such variety.
It’s hard to believe the alphabet part of the blogging challenge is over for 2021. Down to the after survey, reflections, and the “road trip” sign-up.
Plus, I’m taking part in the Bout of Books read-a-thon in May. So much excitement!
