Eurotrip 7, 2018 – Day 5 to 8, Onwards to our base…

Standard

The drive from Caceres to Conil de la Frontera took around 6 hours, stopping early for fuel and then a lunch break near to Jerez.

The roads were quiet and we managed to negotiate Seville without any wrong turns this year. Some very foggy areas in Extremadura but this all cleared up before lunch.

Arriving at Camping La Rosaleda at 3:00pm, we received a very warm welcome from reception and Esta in particular. Our favoured pitch, 142, which had been reserved two years prior, was waiting for us, complete with French camper van…

Mo was despatched back to reception to request their eviction. Actually they themselves  had been bounced from their reserved pitch for 24 hours and we were treat to the benefits of a motorhome versus caravan. Within five minutes they had relocated to yet another pitch and the Hymer even had it’s own self levelling feet!

Meanwhile, it took us until after lunch the following day to have everything setup.

Friday night was “Burger Night” at the campsite restaurant, with the giant wood burning stove and patio heaters put to full use.

A walk into Conil de la Frontera on Saturday followed by a leasurely BBQ which took most of the late afternoon and early evening.

On the way back, the site can be seen from the road and whilst there are some available spaces, all the large plots and hard standings are a sellout.

The weather until today has been beautiful sunshine during the day (shorts and t-shirt) but very cold at night with temperatures below 5 degrees.

Today (Sunday) we have experienced rain but this is expected to clear up before the end of the day. The perfect opportunuty to catch up with the blog
