Yesterday Joe headed off to the bar to watch the England Scotland rugby game. A good battle with Scotland a little unfortunate to lose the Calcutta cup. Around 50 campers were crammed into a corner of the restaurant with John live-streaming the game over his VPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow we head West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday was market day. Moe was dress shopping whilst Joe sought out the local post office to send some documents back to Blighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday evening was another communal meal – Spanish omelette, followed by beef stew and flan for desert. Great rock n roll duo had the oldies dancing to the oldies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday was another fine day, with a much warmer feel to the air. We headed out on the bikes to Novi Sancti Petri where we enjoyed a picnic on top of the cliffs overlooking the Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n

Earlier in the week we visited El Puerto de Santa Maria, staying for a few nights at Camping Playa Dunas. The campsite is large with three service blocks. We had a pitch on the edge of the site overlooking the football and sports grounds. <\/p>\n\n\n

After setting up Nellie (which takes all of about 5 minutes) we headed along the coast to Puerto Sherry, a magnificent marina set in the heart of the Bay of Cadiz, near El Puerto de Santa Maria. Despite its name, I don’t think it’s actually a true port in industrial terms.<\/p>\n\n\n

We found a nice waterfront bar in which to enjoy a late afternoon Gin & Tonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday we headed into Cadiz itself. There is a catamaran service operated by the government of Andalucia with crossings every hour or two from El Puerto to Cadiz (and return). The catamaran port is around a 20 minute walk from the campsite and tickets were easily purchased from the dockside at a mere Euros 2.90 each for the 30 minute crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we approached the port of Cadiz, there was a single cruise ship docked so Cadiz wouldn’t be too overrun with tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have visited Cadiz on many occasions and you can read more about this beautiful town here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this occasion we wandered around the quaint streets, lunching at La Taperia de Columela. A popular haunt with locals and tourists alike. Nothing cultural to report, this was just a chilled day in one of Spain’s finest cities.<\/p>\n\n\n
