Made it – and early too !!!
Considering a lot of the schools finished today, we’ve had a good run… 👍
Dinner en route
There are some benefits of Motorhoming. You can eat a fruit salad while travelling!
On The Way !!!
And here begins our first proper summer holiday in 5 years (having run the guesthouse for the previous 4 summer seasons).
And I feel like writing again because I am happy 😊
So on the way to Dover for the 10pm ferry to Dunkirk & last check-in is 9pm.
Google Maps currently saying we will arrive at 8pm but give it time – it’s a Friday and some numpty somewhere will decide to have a crash for the LOLS !!!
And the name of the tour is Strasbourg (France 🇫🇷 not Germany 🇩🇪) as I now know Strasbourg is in France !!!
More later… 👋
Ready for the off!
Charging up ready for lift off…
Helens on a health kick!
Home tomorrow
We finally are on our last day. Not much of an adventure this time but a holiday so Helen wasn’t so interested in blog updates. So I had to do it. Not really up to literary standards I’m afraid. But hey.
Lovely stuff to look forward to on our arrival home. A £6k water bill to pay after an underground water leak, get Helens foot fixed, me back in hospital to get my nose redone and to top it all, the 3 bed apartment has been destroyed after a radiator leak. I mean pretty much destroyed- may need to be rebuilt. We will see what the insurance say. Brilliant. I’m feeling at the moment like I dont want to go home.
But we do have positives too. Helen’s will get her scooter so more independent and I can get back to playing the sax now my chest infection seems to be subsiding.
Great start to 2024 eh?
Morbid Brits
We came across this cemetery. Gate was open so we had a nosey. Never been to one before. There were whole sections devoted to one family. Different levels of ornamental additions. I suppose depending on upon the spend I guess. They seem to take death seriously here. All graves (?) had recent flowers.

Moved on to Santander
We left San Sebastián and went to the coast – North Santander.
Nice site full of ferry w@nkers. We had a lovely meal and music at the van – Helens favourite part of our trips (mine too). Weather was nice with the sun beating down. Then it got damp! So inside to round off the day.
More wine of course.

Bike ride
Had a saunter out on the bikes and found it’s a nice area. Very reminiscent of the uk moors. With rugged coast line though. We tried to find a bar about 25 mins cycle ride away but in typical tour fashion the sat nav sent us up some unridable track so we had to turn back. Defeated. But it’s nice to get our for an hour!
Hop along
One of the reasons we moved on early was my lovely Helen has hurt her foot. newest boots maybe, worrying as she has arthritis in her family. But we will combat it best we can.
