The English have arrived! After five weeks of seeing hardly any last night at the aire in Santander there were plenty, because today a Brittany ferry sailing to Portsmouth was scheduled. It takes 48 hours. We both agree it's not for us. The five hour sailing from Poole to Cherbourg is long enough. Whilst it saves time, fuel and accomodation costs, it also means you don't get to drive up through France on your way home. Which we like to do. With less than two weeks until we return home we are hoping our driving days will now be shorter. Today after a visit to Lidl, and Margery full refuelled we drove for less than an hour to the pretty coastal town of Castro Urdiales.
With Marge parked at a very nice cemetery, we walked down the hill into town. Today we decided to treat ourselves to a meal out. Checking out the restaurants we chose one overlooking the harbour. After Google translating the menu we chose.
The food was excellent, and at £28.00 for two three course lunches including a drink we left feeling very satisfied. Not used to a large lunch, we decided we should take a walk.
No siesta for us.
The town was interesting and the beach, although man-made looked inviting. A few people lay prone on fluorescent towels. Swimwear optional, as was oggling! Full of Spanish fayre we now feel tired. Not sure if an evening walk will be on the cards tonight.
