Hi.
Well we are both back safe and well, tired but hey ho! its a long way and a long time in a foreign environment, seeing everything like road signs, advertisements, all in a language that is hard to understand actually wears you down.
Then when you get back into the UK it is hard to drop back into driving on the "right" side of the road, and you have to concentrate hard for the first few miles, unlike driving on the continent which I just drop into without any problems, Strange!.

Mequenenza and fishing in Spain in general really stuffed me this year, bugger all.

Never mind the weather more than made up for it it was brilliant and Sandra and myself both have sun tans, it was lovely sitting outside the van in our new carp chairs, talking to the various folk who seemed to want to talk at length about "nothing" in various languages, it is amazing how you can summon enough words, and gesticulating to hold a meaning full conversation with them.

34 degrees
















Our journey down or is it up to Honfluer was very relaxing taking 2 overnight stops to complete the 600 odd miles from Spain, the first stop in Andora a land locked country between Spain and France. The scenery is stunning as it is a skiing country with big mountains and lots of snow, we stayed at an Aire de service well into the snow line at 1500 meters, it was bloody cold during the night.
The second stop was in an Aire de service in France, this time at near sea level, it was a very nice place and we would stay there again.

When we arrived at Hornfluer it was quite miserable weather, blowing a gale with frequent rain showers, but it eventually bucked up and we had a lovely walk round the medieval town.
We finally made our way to Calais for an overnight stop in preparation for taking the Channel tunnel, which we went through in the early hours of Tues morning. Then the final trip back to exchange one tin box for another!.

We can not Wait for the trip next year!.

But not until we have annoyed some of the fish on the caravan pond.




Ready for the off next day.
