The initial green list has finally arrived. And, let’s be honest, ‘limited’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. Australia may be on the list as somewhere that doesn’t require you to quarantine once you return to the UK, which is all well and good – apart from the fact that Australia isn’t letting in any foreign holiday-makers at all this year.
And as for mostly uninhabited South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha (only accessible via a seven-day trip on a South African fishing vessel from Cape Town), they were barely reachable even before Covid struck the world, let alone now.

There is a rare wild beauty on the Azores, with black-sand beaches on dramatic basalt coastlines, but it’s cooler here with unpredictable weather. Some 600 miles south-east, the region of Madeira is much more developed but is still rugged, is hotter and sunnier, and its island of Porto Santo comes with a divine sandy beach.
