Today we started heading towards Spain or somewhere warm & sunny.

Not a good start, peeing down & ferry delayed over 1½, not ferries fault BTUK IT system problem so they weren't allowed to load.
Quick but very rough crossing they made up ½ hour only 3½ hours.
Took ½ hour to get through immigration can't blame the French, idiots in the queue who hadn't checked their phone had logged onto a French network so couldn't bring up their vac QR code for scanning. We sussed it straight away so we were prepared when we got to the booth.

A long drive today, 20 miles in the UK and 35 miles in France.
So now in soggy cold France at Montville. Did the fire engine museum last time so just a walk around the lake in the morning if it's not raining.

Lenny did you have to show your vax proof at the French side I thought it had all stopped now
Yep, they scan it now not had that before, that's what called the hold up at the port, idiots with thier phones not logged on to French network.

Its PLF you don't have to fill in and show now, not that they ever asked for it.

We entered France on 16th and have only today crossed into Northern Portugal having had some lovely sunny weather on the way. Although it has sometimes been quite windy it has been very hot at times, certainly into the mid-20s, I've got the red legs etc to prove it!😎. Today we've been on the beach with the dogs paddling and looking in rock pools for crabs etc, then sitting in a sheltered sunny spot sunning ourselves and going crispy.

We're in no hurry to go to the bottom of Spain as we're enjoying ourselves up here without the rain and Sahara sand. 😄
