Well, they let us back into Spain! I had been worrying that I was never stamped out of Spain when we left for Morocco and rules have recently changed that UK rabies titre test results are apparently no longer accepted with EU pet passports, so the girls might not have been allowed either. However, weContinue reading “The route home – Roscoff, France”

Morocco Adventures begin – Tangier Med to Chefchaouen
Our provisioning for our trip seemed to take all day in Algeciras before we left. We were parked up for the night in the unglamorous location of the Leroy Martin hardware store, a big out of town shopping centre near the ports, amongst without exaggeration, 100 other motorhomes / overlanders spread across the several largeContinue reading “Morocco Adventures begin – Tangier Med to Chefchaouen”
Heading South to the Straits – France, Spain
We completed the appointments which had taken us back to the UK after our Austria trip enduring the cold, wet and generally miserable weather. However, we were keen to get out on the road for a proper trip and not just to do do more truck jobs. We had been wanting to get to MoroccoContinue reading “Heading South to the Straits – France, Spain”
Grimaldi Ferry between Barcelona and Porto Torres, Sardinia
Yesterday was a bit of a steady day, spent wandering round the lovely delicatessens of San Feliu de GuĂxols deciding on some Spanish delicacies to take with us on to our next destination. A bit of reading, healthy lunch early night as today we have an overnight ferry which departs at 02:30. We had originallyContinue reading “Grimaldi Ferry between Barcelona and Porto Torres, Sardinia”
Cycling adventures and celebrations – San Feliu de GuĂxols, Catalonia, Spain
I had decided my birthday wish today was to start the day with a cycle to Tossa de Mar along the coast. So at 8am I was on the road, just after daybreak. Luckily, it was pretty easy navigation, turn right out of the Aire and keep going, first mile uphill 🙄🚴🏻‍♀️ I even sawContinue reading “Cycling adventures and celebrations – San Feliu de GuĂxols, Catalonia, Spain”
Celebration rehearsal – San Feliu de GuĂxols, Catalonia, Spain
We can see now how the siesta happens in Spain. Evening meals are eaten from earliest 9pm onwards, then from 06:30 latest, construction traffic starts. No wonder they all take a snooze after lunch. Following dumper trucks and leaf blowers (?!) at 6.15am this morning, we were already out and accidentally wandering around the marketContinue reading “Celebration rehearsal – San Feliu de GuĂxols, Catalonia, Spain”
Planning, traffic and laundry – San Feliu de GuĂxols, Catalonia, Spain
Kevin was awake early this morning plotting and planning our next stop. We had a sort of vague plan to head south to where it is warm and some places we had missed on the way north previously. However, we know it is the right plan when we both get excited to go. We hadContinue reading “Planning, traffic and laundry – San Feliu de GuĂxols, Catalonia, Spain”
Castellfollit de la Roca visiting – Sant Joan Les Fonts, Catalonia, Spain
We moved inland this morning to visit a site we had seen as an image on Facebook a few weeks ago and realised we would be passing close by. We were out with the dogs early, breakfasted, van servicing done and on the road by just after 08:30. First stop a large Carrefour supermarket forContinue reading “Castellfollit de la Roca visiting – Sant Joan Les Fonts, Catalonia, Spain”
Cycling Explorations – Roses, Costa Brava, Spain
We planned to get out on bikes today, the weather being a little overcast. Kev was going for a sortie along the seafront. I had found an epic route on an app, 30 miles, 2000ft+ route up the large hills behind us. However after 15 mins unsuccessfully trying to get my phone to talk toContinue reading “Cycling Explorations – Roses, Costa Brava, Spain”
Buenos DĂas España – Roses, Costa Brava, Spain
We had an early start watching the English Red Roses play the New Zealand Black Ferns in the women’s Rugby World Cup. Despite valiant play after they had a player sent off after 17 minutes and still leading much of the game, England had their 5th straight defeat against New Zealand in the final. AContinue reading “Buenos DĂas España – Roses, Costa Brava, Spain”
