Tam, Jade and Franky's European Adventure

[Lenny HB]

Downside is the traveller vans have multiplied there's now 4 of them and they still pee outside.

Obviously got some polite ones, over here they crap outside as well.

Think I'm gonna move tomorrow .....i wanna see the beach anyway..havent been near the water since I arrived

I thought you had enough of that on the boat.

 

[Lynne Roy]

Ditto

Nor me I am so enjoying this

Sat nav and scooter causes me the same problem.
I am told the cure is for a "Ram mount" satnav holder available at all known ebay shops. There are some cheaper versions. You need to check which will fit your bike. Hopefully yours has the couple of screws either side of speedo and just down a bit.
My theory is then, you can order the part off ebay, get it sent to one of the nice chaps or chappesses further down the road in spain, go and collect it (if you can find your way there) trial it, and then report back to me so i know they are worth it and i wouldnt be wasting my money.

PS good morning

I use my phone with earphones, stick the phone in my pocket and listen to the instructions.

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

I'm not offended and enjoy the banter!

Neither am I , those that don’t . Stop watching the thread . Simple.

My life was nearly ended there on a 2 minute trip to the shops.
Drew up at a roundabout on the scooter and just heard the screech of tyres behind me and a car just missed hitting me by centimetres .....very near miss...no idea how fast he was going but it's only a 30km road
Very apologetic he was through the window but I nearly had an underwear issue.

On an upside I managed to find fresh milk and some rather tasty cakes in town so I'm just stuffing my face now.

Oh and after hunting down tap attachments I only went and found a set lying over next to the tap a wee while ago .....think one of the vans that moved on earlier must have left them so I've a spare set now...bet I never need them.

Came back from shops and there's a lovely big motor Home turned up and parked next to me it's like a bus ....think it's a Concorde.

Lol I had to stop there were cars going round it.

And I was doing the speed limit...not sure what he was doing but to screech like he did I doubt it was 30k

Very pleased with most of the driving here, we've been out on the scoot two or three times and there's very few richard craniums about, nothing like the number in the uk.

Yeah I can't believe I didn't think of this but someone else said that earlier, I have a "waze" satnav app on my phone aswell so I'll give that a go the next time I'm out on it.

Cheeky bugger ...ive been spoiling myself with showers everyday cause I'm on an aire with endless water lol

Agreed, As far as I could see the gif of the foam party was in relation to Tam putting washing powder straight into the washing machine and what could happen when you do that. Very funny I thought.

Have to agree most of the time I've not noticed anything apart from the lorries lol they tailgate even worse here than in the UK but I've not seen any accidents
Maybe the guy in the car was just blinded with my bright white skid lid ha ha

Ah that will be it, all the lids I've seen look ten years older than the riders A Young lady was riding along with her lid hung on the handlebars with her fags, lighter and phone in it, probably didn't have any pockets

Either way the outcome nearly resulted in tragedy, if that happened what would we have to read

Aye and all I was worried about was if my scooter got wrecked as it's a really great accessory to have here I'm discovering. It's great for nipping about

Some years ago I did a cycling tour in the Murcia region, some really interesting places down very windy roads that weren't ideal for a motorhome. You might find it good to explore a bit on your scooter.

Still keep looking for tap adaptors, I always carry several sets as I'm the one who forgets and leaves them on the tap. The 1" ones, though not many taps use them are really hard to find.

Ah this is more like it...
Headed for the coast what a beautiful day it's sunny and hot although the locals are all in coats some even scarves ha ha ...its 17° thats like summer in scotland ...needless to say i was getting a few strange looks strutting around in a t shirt .... i haven't braved the shorts yet but it's coming

So I'm in sitges parked up on the esplanade of the beach....its apparently fine to park here out of season when the metres are locked.....im joined by 3 French motorhomes and a van conversion I think is Dutch.
Had a walk along to the old church and around the old town which is very quaint and pretty with its tiny wee streets and some lovely bakeries and cake shops ( My favourite) I picked up some pan and chorizo and I'm having a lovely emparadero and cafe.
Here's some pics

There's a wee lad just drove by me in an electric range rover...shades and leather jacket on and tunes blaring in Spanish looking as pleased with himself as anything

Couldn't help but burst in to a smile....cute as anything and looking cool ha ha

Brilliant ....id have been in my element with one of those as a bairn......i was blooming 10 before I got a bike

I wanted to take a pic to show you but wasn't sure .....dont want arrested or his parents thinking I'm dodgy lol

 

[Southdowners]

I don't know why but when I read your posts I do so in a Billy Connelly voice!

 

[nicholsong]

Tam

I am glad you have found some of what you were looking for..

Great pics.

i do not know how you are posting but don't use up too much of your allowance on lots of pics just for this bunch. Maybe you have free WiFi.

Funny you should say that ....because everytime I pass this sign which is all over Spain I think of a sketch Billy Connolly does about his " music appreciation class at shool"
