Parking near the service point is so entertaining.

Well it was our choice, the place was less than full yesterday when we arrived...
The hire van drivers are such fun....how did the man say to fill the tank, empty the poo...what's it like Whoosh...
Then the Full timer arrived....old van, holding tank full....grey water grill looks favourite...yep down it goes...well most of it, so hose pipe comes out to swill away the big bits...he did a grand job and while the hose is out, give the van a wash....here in Spain you could get a bit of a fine for washing your vehicle with a hose..
Later along came the panel van...empty this, fill that, give the van a rinse....what happening now...the toilet tent is quickly erected...great opportunity to both have a quick shower, well, the hose is out....Brrrrr that's better...now let's find a pitch....here will do...table, chairs and Fiamma out....we can do it in our home country, so why not here....Well Monsieur you cannot here in Spain...cus that's the rules...
Out of the blue the Guardia Civil arrive...they realise instantly (Years of training and exams passed) that this place is rammed....cars parked in MH bays, MH parked in Day parking for cars ..too much to contemplate sorting this out....must make a token gesture and justify there presence, man with awning out...let's get him...a bit of a team talk and the young female Officer was dispatched...."No puedes usar tu toldo" Man looked across at me....I imagine like you guys,that, he thought I'd shopped him....well I didn't....but am willing to say I did, if asked, but although I visit his country I do not speak his language...and also he wouldn't speak mine...so he didn't ask, shame....I like visiting his country it's on our route back to the UK....nice place, good cheese and wine....same place as the full timer swilling poo came from.... different customs, no rules...but my word they do provide some entertainment....I am entitled to observe all this after my morning ride with jumartoo it just so happened our pitch is adjacent the service point....ring side seat so to say.....

I always do my best to not park next to the service point, there are some people who don't dump very accurately, and grey water always seems to smell worse than black.

I enjoy watching people choose a pitch, spend 10 minutes manoeuvring, get out have a look, then move to another and repeat.

But in doing so you miss all the fun....we are still in same location...cannot possibly leave, we have a whole afternoon to look forward too...a old German couple, about my age, but older are trying to do a full service on van..it must be an 8 metre Frankia...grey water hose didn't reach grill....bad design by the manufacturer...but as it's on a slope, wouldn't water run downhill to grill...perhaps not in their country.....so let's turn the van around....totally crowded....I couldn't with our little German van.....OK they finally realised that water runs downhill in Iberia...the same as the rest of Europe....or the world...

I must just say here. We aren't right next to the service point. Just that there's nothing between us and it.

We're the silver Hymer pointing out towards the water, the dark van with its bum towards you, looking at the photo, is on the service point . There's a narrow road down to the beach between us.

Maybe gravity was not invented by a German so was not taught in their schools.
