The British decided to hold a quarantine on a desert island

Former paratroopers from Britain Chris Lewis decided to spend his isolation on a deserted island. However, such step he was pushed rather a necessity than a sense of adventure.

In order not to violate the new rules, Lewis on the boat made it to a nearby uninhabited island Hilesi and since then resides there.

From the company – only dog jet, who has come with him this long Hiking path, right 15 sheep – the only inhabitants vacant since the late nineteenth century Hilesi. He admits the Briton, he feels very happy man.
