We are on-board the Brittany Ferries flagship ro-ro ferry ship “Santona”. Powered by Liquid Natural Gas. We were first to board which is great but our location on Deck 5 is such that we will need to travel a full circle of the boat before disembarkation, so it looks like we may be one of the last off tomorrow evening.

We did though, manage to bag ourselves a couple of Commodore Club lounge tickets which I think means free food and drink for the duration of the journey. Expensive at 49 Euros each but very comfortable. Passes for this lounge are also included with a certain class of ticket but there were none available when we booked our crossings. We were also first into the lounge and have just the best window seats.

Prior to our arrival at Santander, we spent two nights at Camping El Astral in Tordesillas before a 4 hour drive to Camping Virgen del Mar, close to Santander.

We also ate at the restaurant at El Astral which we would highly recommend.
