Anyway, having a nice quiet day on this fantastic site. No noise at all and everybody so friendly.
We are carrying 6 big boxes in the camper, but last night we put 3 outside which freed up a lot of space

Just booked ferry for next Tuesday and looking forward to Thursday and Friday on track at Cartagena

After yesterday's relaxing trip out on the Le Manga peninsula, today's hooning round track was the exact opposite.

Le Manga was a let down. Just loads of hotels on 11mile strip.

Great fun on Cartagena track

Day was cut short at 4:00 when ambulance had to take a casualty to hospital with suspected broken leg.

Just meant I cracked a cold one a bit earlier ;D

Yup, was very nice.

Had another great day on track, getting a bit quicker each session.

Finished at 5.00 then set off to get some miles in. Managed over 100 stopped for tea. Heading to Gibraltar Times to see a mate. Pen's never been.

Had a quick trip round Gibraltar then a couple of beers overlooking a nice bay.

Then a nice meal and more beers with a pal who lives here in the evening.

Gib is a lot nicer and cleaner than when I last came in 1992, but still far too busy and crowded for us.
But he loves it here, so that's what counts.


And it's UK prices :(

Heading up to the camp by Cadiz in a bit

We got off the ferry last night at 12:15 and were in the pub by 12:45 :)

It was great to be back and we may have celebrated a bit too much LOL

Finally got out at 3:00 ;)



Poorly heads today didn't help when we had to move all our stuff into the new apartment ;)

It's a beauty and just been completely renovated. Lovely balcony with sea views :)


Now the dream really does start :)

Well, been here a week now and settled in nicely. We brought 6 big boxes in the camper and also brought some in the summer and left them at me dad's. All unpacked and the apartment feels nice and homely now :)

There's a nice seaview from the large balcony and there's an underground communal car park where the bike and trailer are nice and safe. And behind us, there's nothing for miles. Just natural beauty and volcanoes to look at :)

The apartment has a little utility room and the landlord says I can put up shelves for me tools and stuff :)

Funnily, I don't feel like a tourist this time. Just chilling and enjoying the sunshine and lifestyle :)

Unfortunately Pen's had to go home for a while as her dad took ill, but he's getting better and she'll be back out soon. Elvis is missing her ;)

And it's a nice 24c today :)

And it's beer O'clock ;)

We'd planned to come over here for the last 5 years, but SWMBO decided it was best to live here 6 months to decide if it was what we really wanted.

Well, just dropped her at airport to fly to UK for Xmas with her family. On the way she said we can start looking for a Jeep when she gets back. I asked about the 6 months wait and she summat like "Sod that, I can't imagine not being here"

Woo hoo. So now we can get the Jeep, dirt bikes and a RIB Broken Link Removed

And I'm gonna arrange a viewing on this beauty Broken Link Removed
