Rolling down the corridors: Antarctic cruise ordeal ends for NSW family | HatAlexander
John and Pam Arnold should have been exploring South Georgia Island in the southern Atlantic Ocean, but quarantined on their cruise ship outside the port of Montevideo, they created their own adventure.By moving the furniture in their cabin, the Newcastle couple made a loop of 13 paces from the door past the bed and around a little table. The person nearest the sliding door to the balcony had to give way to the person coming past the bed.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said "a significant number" had tested positive for COVID-19. Two have remained in Montevideo due to ill health. Australian passengers Wayne and Rowena Hamilton were passengers on the Greg Mortimer, stranded off Uruguay. The most touching part for those who felt most keenly the rejection from ports, the trolling and a lack of support from the government, was the goodwill extended to them by the people of Uruguay.
