Break out from Marjal Costa Blanca arrived in Paradise!

Yes it just proves that you should never put all your eggs in one basket. I really don't know what's going on at Marjal I'm so glad to be away. Loyalty stands for absolutely nothing. Its all about getting the place full and earning a quick buck.
Last month my mum was informed that she was in debt for over 1000 euros since last September even though she had paid every month. I pay as regular as clockwork also. I wasfloored when I was told that I owed over 700 euros. I started to argue. They were going to back date some pay rise since September that I must pay?!; I argued for half an hour and it then came down to 72 euros ( not much difference) I was anxious just to get away and paid thinking I will follows this up with an e mail when the receptionist said " what about the gas bottle? Shall I leave it on file?" Leave it on file stick it where you like. I've always had three gas bottles and they didn't come from you!" Away ..escape!
Dave's appointment was at 11.30 and we hooked up and left by 12.30. The first hour of the journey was so boring but then it began to get like Scotland with sunshine and without the mossies. The journey soon passed and we arrived at Los Batanes in Rudiera. This place is just superb. Its so Spanish. We are the only Brits on here in fact everyone is Spanish with the exception of one other French unit. The only noise that we can hear is the sound of waterfalls and the birds:-)  in the trees. Its so rustic and quirky but amazingly,spotlessly clean at ALL times unlike Marjal. Its just a shame that this place doesn't get the sunny climate all year round as its a non brainer...look at the pics..sorry I really loved the waterfalls and there are so many..!

The approach road to the campsite.

Yep there is no jacuzzi etc but when we went for a walk today ( yes you read that right WE went for a walk! It should have been 4 kms but Dave was in charge of directions and my legs tell me it was more like 6! Guess what we saw?..more waterfalls and lakes!

Honestly its really hard to believe that you are in Spain its so green! We have had a real chill out. We move tomorrow to north of Madrid A new campsite to us that comes recommended. At the moment I would give Marjal a wide birth. They can't even get the bills right. Like a Muppet I paid the alleged back payment from September and then realised I wasn't even in the Country. I was in Hungary! A suitable e mail to them but I have to be honest and say if it wasn't for friends and family there I would not be returning. Sad to say but its lost its way. The camp site here may only be second class but the fellow campers and cleanliness is first class. I would highly recommend this campsite and area. I will be sorry to leave!

Wniter Camping at Marjal- The Lunatics are at it again!

This place never ceases to amaze me. I do sometimes woder howmuch thought was given to what would happen when this campsite opened ans its clients are certainly putting this place to the test and it doesnt apar to be coping very well.
The latest sign to be put up.....its not about dogs yapping or peeing or dogs going in the toilet blocks or anything that is upsetting a lot of  people but  water being taken from the toilet blocks! Oh yes thats a real priority! Right Marjal will state its because they have had complaints that the showers arent hot. I can get that. A lot of the water is generated by solar but why dont we do something radical....and open another toilet block?! I for one do not take water from the toilet blocks as its far too far so there can only be a few people. The other day they ran out of washing machines..helllooo dont washing machines use water?!
Certainly the toilet block nearest to me is "cBlock" whereby people from A block have to use it. Everyone on C Block which is probably the busiest and then people from F block now as well and when the unfriendly Club cant get a washing machine they use the same Block! Now you dont have to be a rocket scientist to work out thats an awful lot of people and an odd bucket of water here and there is hardly going to make a big difference . Why not open block F s toilets?! Im sure its not buckets of water as most people on my row wash up in their own caravans and dont even use the showers- I hasten to add I do use the one in my own caravan!
This is supposed to be an eco site. Well I have to heat my own water either by gas or electricity- theirs is mainly  solar....who is the most eco friendly? Those stealing a bucket of water!
All this said though as with everything in life you do get people who take advantage. I was sitting at my mates yesterday which is near the toilet block of the Unfriendly Club as she gets a great wi fi signal and in the space of less than five minutes I saw the same man fetch three troggs full of water! What was he doing having a bath in his caravan?! Creating a private swimming pool for themselves now? Oh no they dont need to- they already have one! I remember we used to have access to  one a long time ago!
I think the problem is that they simply cannot cope with the amount of people here and seem totally unprepared.Certain campers have taken over the campsite and its like we have been taken over by muppets! Mob rule or lunatics running the assuylum, Im not sure which!
Wi fi all sorted at my mums and here. I darent tell you what the problem was.......yes Marjal was having to upgrade the system the very day that I was trying to sort it out but there are simply too many people trying to use it plus she has loads of big RVs in front of her  blocking the bloody system all with boosters on! We need a booster for the booster! Apparantly that block is going to be used next year or rather next winter for what it was intended, static asnd long term residents-ahh haa I bet they get F block toilets open!
Oh yes children. I actually love children but some were apparantly riding their bikes IN the toilet blocks! Yes the disabled loo makes a great place to park your bike....no pun intended! ....got me wondering...do we need another sign?! Can you imagine it "Dont park your bike in here!" The world is full of them...have they all come camping or is it only me thats sane?!! lol Have a good day!
