Today we are camping so I am writing this blog with no real certainty that it will be able to be published but we’ll see. We set off later than expected (no surprise there then), we packed the car and still wonder how we will ever get all the stuff we have home, this is what these trips are all about though, learning. We must try various ways of packing the car to see how we get on.
We drove up the Seville road and round the ring road that circumvents the city, it is a huge city and the road was very busy, quite stressful to drive. We found a lovely service station where we stopped for lunch, it was really good and we sat outside with the dogs, it is so hot here, dead baking heat!
This area is known as sunflower alley, it is easy to see why with fields of sunflowers everywhere, it is fascinating to see them all standing facing the sun – and so much better than rape fields.
About 5pm we arrived at the camp site, it is fair to say that our first impressions were not good, we drove down a causeway past hideous developments, there were lots of young girls standing by the roadside, we though they were hitching a lift but on reflection we think they might be hookers. There are a lot of boats docking her so they might be looking for Sailors. The site is ok, better in some respects than the last one, the toilets and showers are better and the whole place seems more professional. However, there are the equivalent of Spanish Tinkers camping and the ground is a sandy earthy surface, not good for holding tent pegs and for keeping 2 dogs clean. Somehow I imagined European sites would be acres of neatly trimmed grass!
We walked over to the beach and walked the dogs for a while chucking the ball, they loved it. The beach was still busy and we soon had an audience of people watching them bring it back.
Back at the site the man came to connect our electricity up for us but we have the wrong adapter so he went and found one for us but we’ll have to buy one ourselves for the future.
Susan is cooking dinner then maybe a DVD and bed.
Lets see if I can get this sent off.
