Me too, off work for 6 weeks following an operation Christmas Eve so no driving! Still it gives me a lot of time to research places to visit when we do get away, although its a bit slow trying to type one handed :ROFLMAO:

Still making mistakes! But they're not as costly.

We're getting the tunnel on 2/1/14 but plan on gettin there possibly the day before,where's this sleepyspot that's closeby then? I normally sleep on the front down by the marina but it's a bit of a pain going down into dover then back to the tunnel 22miles round trip, waste of fuel,and they won't let you park up in the tunnel car park till nearer your crossing time for whatever reason I don't know.gwyntaxi.

Arrived at Villasol this morning. Plenty of pitches down near the road but a bit thin higher up in the site.
Good run down. 36 hours from Dover to Villasol.:thumb:
Will now probably be led astray by the Funsters.

Hi Sue & Eric, vacant pitches are in short supply at the moment here at Villasol. However there are quite a few people packing away ready to move on in the coming days. All should be back to normal by the time you arrive. The site WiFi is not very good at the moment, this could be due to the amount of people using it. Weather today is superb, blue sky, warm sunshine and about 22'c at the moment. The Funsters had a great New Years Party last night at the Tropical Bar, most of us were tucked up in bed by 4am. We look forward to meeting you here at Villasol, safe journey down, we are on pitch 432, come over and say hello when you get here.

Brisey & Pamelaaar.

Ditto to Brisey. We are on pitch 332.
We are currently using a local sim in our ipad. Would have used our mifi but I have forgotten the password and cannot for the life of me remember it.:Doh:
Have a safe trip down.

Hi Graham
If you haven't changed the password it is on a sticker on the inside of the back cover - well ours is.

In my infinite wisdom I changed the password to something I would easily remember :ROFLMAO: I have reset the mifi but it does not seem to reset the password.
Gloworm an unlocked mifi would be a good option. I am going to have a chat to UKBill, he sourced a prepaid 3gb sim for 25 euro. If I get the details I will let you know.
