And we’re home! We got boosted to an early train so we were home by 9:30am with the time difference, and the sun is shining! Jones is mostly unpacked, the washing machine is on its third run, and we’re leaving the cleaning till tomorrow. Flynn has had his first shower for two months and is pleasant…

Moar driving. We’re now in calais via some towns and a Grand Frais where they had these lads: Pigs in Costumes. Sadly they’re all dressed as Pilsbury dough man, not a pirate king or fairy princess amongst them. Flynn finally got a good/ok walk in calais. there’s a path along the disused dock. He loves…

We left our car park in Miranda de Ebro early. It had rained heavily overnight and the “hard” standing had been transformed into a sea of mud. Once again the interior of Jones was coated within seconds of Flynn returning from his wee walk – camping in the rain with a large mudophile dog really…

The rain continued but we were getting itchy feet/wheels. After Flynn and I had had a look at the local fishing fleet, and Jane and I had scouted breakfast in a very dejected looking Asilah we set off north again towards the port and an almost mythical 6pm boat to Spain. We arrived at about…

The rain lashed it down all night, and when I checked the forecasts in the morning, I found that the port of Algeciras, where we’re returning to from Tangier Med, was closed until Thursday night. No chance of us getting back to Spain today then. We could have moved Jones somewhere new, but it seemed…

Belgian Jones admirers. The rain continued on and off through the night. We both woke thinking it was possibly stopping and the skies clearing. Then, it started hailing. Very observant people familiar with driving to Morocco will recognise the first picture in this post is Asilah. We drove 366km from Fes back to Asliah. The…
