After 36 hours at sea, across a very calm Bay of Biscay, we arrived on schedule at 08:00 Spanish time in Santander.

We made full use of the Commodore lounge and it’s complimentary wine and Tapas service. We’re not sure what the additional cost of a Commodore cabin and pass is, because this was the only cabin available when we re-booked. Still, we thought the service was great.

Dinner was also included in the price. I think in the price of the ferry ticket as it looked like all passengers were enjoying a free breakfast and lunch. Main course dinner was shoulder of lamb for Moe and the strangest looking quid for Joe.

The food has a Spanish “twist” to it throughout the boat.

After arriving on-time at Santander, we were subject to a temperature check and then disembarked in rapid time. We had cleared customs and passport control and on the road a mere 25 minutes after the 08:00 arrival.

Given the early start, we drove 350 miles to Caceres and the municipal site next to the football ground. The one with the personal toilet block on each pitch! We arrived at 15:40 so a pretty decent run South. Just 250 miles left tomorrow on the final leg of the journey to Conil-de-la-Frontera.
