No point Marie... The Stealth Wagon slips through borders un noticed by any patrols and even if they did stop I have people who sort these things out for me...

Hi JJ sent my reply before reading your banter with Marie. Hope you are well in Portugal and your weather has improved. All joking aside it would be great to see you if you wanted to come to this amazing place. Perhaps you could do the Zahora Comedy Walk they wouldnt be able to stop laughing like you had everyone in stitches at Bath. Such a good experience!!! Take care and keep smiling ::bigsmile: Nannyjan

Thanks for the photos Marie .. really appreciated by those of us left over here, alone, dejected, depressed, rained on, cold, etc... only kidding.:winky: Please send us as many as you can. It is great to see what is happening there and gives us hope for maybe next year.

Jan ... You have, of course, sneaked a frog in your van for me havn't you.... A BIG one, handsome, strong, long legs, and not about to croak. :Smile:

Yahooo..... we have just BOOKED for Santander Ferry to visit with you all :thumb:

We sail on Wednesday 17th Nov 12 noon and will return on the 6th Dec

not sure which John will drive to ....Salamanca or Caceres as you have mentioned these stops or if there is one in between these...we have to chat about that yet

Marie do we need to book with the Zahora site or just turn up, we land thurs 1pm at santander, does Fri late afternoon sound feasonable space of time to arrive(only going on the past when John has driven to dover late at night ok )

It would be nice to be near to you and the other funsters if poss, also
do we need the cycle sign etc, as we have never driven in Spain before

thanx for any info

This one is a bit different, at least in my mind. Garda was never promoted as a meet, just a plot to infect others with the awesome beauty of Italy. I think it worked. We got a bonus on the way back and re-discovered Switzerland and the Rhein.

We've never been infected with Spain in the same way, I have no idea why. Possibly because we've really only done tourist Spain and mainly the islands. So who knows it may be a breakthrough for us.

Tomorrow and Sunday we will be glued to pictures of Valencia. If there is one thing the Spanish excel at it is bike racing.

I'm coming round to Dame Penelope's stops, considering the shorter days I think Salamanca and Cacares would be a good idea. Not much fun in arriving at a strange campsite in the dark. We can afford the extra day.

Thank you for your wise words Brian, we are limited with time on this occasion :winky::winky: so will see how it goes for distance wise traveling , but perhaps if granted another visit we can view the lovely scenery/vista on route and take a more moderate time to travel xx

At least when we disembark the ferry we wont be bombarded with snow and fog like last January (calais )

Just booked the ferry,, sail Plymouth - Santandar 12 december @ 10.00am,, should be at Zahora wednesday 15th.. :thumb:

Was going to go on the Wed 15th ferry,, thus Brian (Hildweller) could have plied me with alcohol for 22 hrs.. :winky:

But not keen on the late disembarking,, we arrive at 9am, so can plod on down a couple of hundred miles in daylight.. :thumb:

Plus the road works into Plymouth are a pain in the rear weekdays :Sad: and a lot easier on Sundays.. :thumb:

Hi Old Mo!
A Sunday crossing appealed to me too because of the early arrival time. Don't fancy blundering around in the dark in a strange area. Have never been to north Spain. As we are only just over 12ft long they'll probably park us sideways and save a space!! If they charge £60 for an extra foot any chance of a reduction for us little uns do you think?!
