Thanks for all the lovely wishes. We got a bit delayed with long goodbyes etc :)

So now approaching Dover and earliest ferry is 7:30 tmrw morning, so need to find somewhere quiet to camp the night. Can't find out if we can sleep at the docks, so will look for a quiet supermarket car park :)

Had another good day and did over 500 miles. Around 60 short of Valencia :)

Had a slight mishap when we noticed that a ratchet strap had broken holding bike on trailer. I had put 2 each side so no problems, but the metal loading ramp was being held on by the missing strap. It was just sat there loose on trailer. Could have caused chaos if it had dropped off :(

Just settling down in our third motorway services for third night in a row ;( Us poor pensioners need to watch the pennies ;)

Heading to Altea tmrw to meet up with MikeC :)

Can't wait to be in the warmth. It's a bit parky here :(

Had a good morning drive and headed to Javier where we stayed 3 days on our trip last year. I knew our lass would love the seafront. Had a nice lunch on the beach.

Then half hour later we were at camp at Altea, supping beer with MikeD and his lovley wife Sandra :)

More beer and wine was had with them during a fantastic meal out at night :)

Had a nice walk along sea front today, and somehow met up with Mike and Sandra again LOL
Beer 2 euros. Wine 1.6 euros. And free tapas with every drink. Fan fukin tasic :)

Forgot to say earlier my brother in law twice removed who is a Lanzerotian (?) thinks tourism there can only pick up after what has happened at Sharm. Winter sun destinations now being one less for most. He's just hoping more Brits will come and not Russians!

Cheers was lovely to meet you both too. Also Mike and Joan.

That site didn't really suit us and we were recommended this one here at La Manga. Wow. One of the best sites I have ever been to in 30 years camping. Quiet, clean and friendly. About 50% English.

Get yerselves down here :)
