Portsmouth ferry port with the mad Scotsman Jimmy Thompson We
sail about 8pm now the strike is over and some fast cruising should be in
Santander by 6pm tomorrow night.
Took about 2 hours to load this dam thing but on-board now and
cabin sorted so time for a bite to eat and have a few glasses of red before the
night’s cabaret lol who you kidding some Muppet doing magic tricks with playing
cards that he keeps dropping, all we need now is a singing Duck named Orville
lol,
OMG I had to open my mouth that’s it I am off to bed I am Quackerd.
Well nothing is going right this year’s trip what with the job
front the house front the operation (still stings), the ferry strikes, Now some
pore blighter has fallen out of bed during a light swell during the night and
had to be taken into shore so we are now about 2hrs behind schedule.
Now in Santander with a broken down car on the ramp which has left half of us in the bowels of the ship stuck here. Gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Finally off the ferry and trying to navigate out of the port the
new route mmmmm lots of motorhomes doing the same but turning back???Will
persevere a few mins longer, Ah! Found the new exit onto the motorway heading
for Burgos, but it’s now almost 9pm and pitch
black.
Burgos 11pm wont get on a campsite this late so decided to crack
on further down and fill up at a fuel station and spend the night
there.
Next day set off about 8am drove through Madrid down and through
Granada stopped for fuel at another station and parked up for the night. Cocked
a meal on the picnic tables had a few drinks and turned in.
Late start today about 10 am drove the final leg into Cabopino,
The mad Scotsman went into Toromolinos to see some friends.
Home at last!
