... but on the eve of a mini adventure in the van I get all in a "tis was".

Plenty of minor stuff to do before the off... mowing, mot on run around, packing... yes bloody packing...

What do I want to take?
Which clothes?
Which tools?
How many tins of beans?
How many tubs of Bird's custard powder?

I need lie down after just thinking about it... :Eeek:

Jeeeeez...

Took until 2.00pm to get ready to leave... then, after fuelling up, I gave myself a "treat" and used motorways until Alcacer.

Lake side at Pego (very low on water) by 8.00ish after a fight with a ticket machine and then a HUGE truck on what I thought was a roundabout (but maybe it wasn't)!

There used to be quite a few motorhomers here but at the moment it is deserted.

Restaurant bloody closed...

What selfish motorhomer would park across several parking bays in order to be close enough to the outside washing machines?

It has been closed quite a few times lately! Mind you it IS wednesday, usually it is closed on wednesdays, isn't it?

Yep... Rui closes on Wednesdays but it was Tuesday yesterday!

I suspect he closed because business was very slow. He didn't know I was on my way with my pockets full of cash!

Always plan your route with Burger King along it 😜 just in case 🙂 then you'll never go hungry. 😁
Have a good trip JJ . 😎 Bob.

On our motorcycles we always looked for the big ‘M’ on the outskirts of most reasonable Size towns….…which we always looked as being a big ‘W’…..wee stop if you hadn’t worked it out. (y) 😁
