Well we arrived at the lovely Bella Vista Campsite on the Costa Del Sol, near Gibraltar on Friday and one of our participants was already here! We befriended the people in thge motorhome next door to us who promptly informed us that it was Happ[y Hour at the bar!Oh no! We had driven 250 miles from Cabo de Gata and it was the tug from hell. You know the sort, gale force winds and driving rain over moutains so we just took our time and plodded here. All Ican remember is that the evening was good. We had agreed to take our neighbours on to Gibraltar the next day but ..err we didnt quite make it and had a day lying in the sun! If the campsite puts on Happy Hours it would be rude not to have gone
The campsite really is lovely with direct access to the beach.
Although a hard drive the views were spectacular with snow capped mountains
The lovely pools with the Med in the background
The culprits that led us astray. Great to have met you Paul and Ann and we hope to see you again- safe and happy camping always!
The main Street in Gibraltar,yesterday. Raining. Yuk. Morrisons breakfast made up for it though! The queues going on and off the rock werent too bad for once. 30 mins max either way. After all the trouble and rumours about the problems with the Spanish not one person asked to see my passport! Due to the strength of the pound not many things were cheaper.Spirits, cigs and petrol were all good buys but everything else was ..ouch! Marks and Spencer was disappointing 40 pounds for a blouse?! I think not. BHS all the way! Its a mucky job but someone has to carry out market research for these Tours!
We have 4 rigs here already and another 2 expected today. Mad as hatters some of them so its going to be a great Tour. Some have been with us before which is.... To come with us once is unlucky but to come with us again is ?!!! Ok totally insane but its great to see them! One couple we actually met in Croatia when we were hosting the Riviera Touch Tour. They were on a Tour with another Organisation! It really is a small old world.or is that birds of a feather flock together?!,
So Im finally getting excited. The people so far are great.Some of the trips out look amazing. Roll on tomorrow and let the fun begin!
