When we left Spain a month ago we had to rush back to England as quick as possible and if there had been a space available we would have gone on the Santander (Spain) to Portmouth ferry to save time. As it was we used the tolls which basically are boring as bat shit but fantastic if you are in a hurry!
We are on a bit of a mission this trip to get back to the villa, but not as urgent as on our last trip, so we are taking the scenic route and avoiding the tolls.
This is motorhoming at its best ... uncrowded roads, magical scenery and plenty of time to sit back, relax and enjoy the passing scenery from the comfort of our lovely leather cruising armchairs.
On this section of the trip we passed an armoured car and a few soldiers having a smoko ...
Lots of flooded rivers ...
Plenty of deserted roads ...
A multitude of magical towns ...
Very many quiet villages ...
I just love it.
As usual the photos don't do the changing landscape justice ...
We finally moored for the night at a tiny village 20 ks north of Bordeaux ...
This is a typical Aire site, free water, waste and elsan disposal ...
Parking next to the sports ground, we have now been joined by a French and Dutch motorhome ...
I went for a quick walk around the village when we arrived. Like a lot of French villages and towns they remind me of a second world war film set ...
I half expect to see a German tank coming up the hill ...
Tomorrow we should enter northern Spain.
Hopefully it will be as lovely as today!
TV and Phone signal not so good there then? I see your friends in the motorhome near you have some very high aerials on top of their van!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see you both enjoying so much being back on the road, as you say what lovely scenery you are travelling through right now.
Didn't even notice those when I took the pic.
