Post-lockdown we left Gibbston for Christchurch and we’ve been surfing. Life feels great – a new sport, new people, no tourists like those who clogged Queenstown post-COVID.
Humans are more adaptable than they think they are. When travelling, wherever I am, what’s happening quickly starts to seem normal. This makes sense as living in a constant state of stress would be impossible. Will COVID start to feel normal soon?
Already we’re moving into a Level 4 lockdown. That was a quick honeymoon period. Now we can watch cases rise while staying home; we won’t get on the Our World in Data COVID graph till we reach 100.
