Spanish travel
Now for a Ferrytale
Once upon a time there was a wonderful couple who were travelling around Spain in a lovely Elddis Encore motorhome. But after a year in Spain they decided to venture further afield and so booked themselves on a ferry run by GRIMaldi (there’s a clue in that name!) Lines to an island named Sardinia. They headed up to the port of Barcelona in winds and rains … [Read more...] about Now for a Ferrytale

All very interesting but nothing prepared us for the devastating rain experience we have had over the past few days. Not for us thankfully but for … [Read more...] about The serious side of traveling.

Surfs Up!
Mon 05/12/16: The rain welcomed in the day again for us and we watched from the vans windows as the rain kept on falling making the sand beneath us very heavy and clingy. No point us going anywhere for the moment and so we caught up on some more admin bits and phone calls etc. So bad was the rain that the local school in the area was closed for the day and the sports arena had … [Read more...] about Surfs Up!
