George! & Bernadette!

We set off this morning from Oliva with our two trusty guides, George & Bernadette, heading for Bolnuevo, near Mazarron. We left the campsite and they couldn't agree and indicated we should go in opposite directions. This isn't unusual and they usually sort themselves out in a couple of miles and agree on the general direction. Today, though, was different. Very different. We knew we had to head toward Alicante so ignored their advice to the contrary and headed off in that direction, however, the constant screaming from the pair of them had us heading back to our starting point. Several times. Then we went "off road". I'll spare you the full story but we wasted an hour this morning before we ignored the pair of them and set off in the direction we had chosen in the first place. If they don't sort themselves out soon we're going back to the maps!!

Thus our three and a half hour journey was considerably longer than expected but we eventually arrived at our destination. A Campsite we stayed on last year which we realy liked; long sandy beach, shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance and a ten minute bus ride to the local town. When we arrived last time we were given a map of the site with all the available pitches indicated and we could choose from plenty of places. This time the site is rammed and we were lucky to get a pitch at all! Last time all the facilities, water, electric, grey waste disposal were on the pitch. This time we just have electricity and have to carry water and waste water. Grrrhh! Anyway it's a nice site and we'll only be here a couple of days to wash and dry some clothes before we head off to Almeria. Tucked up as we are in a corner of the site we have no free wifi but I'm heading off soon to the reception area to post this.

No photos from where we are today but here's one from where we were last night and this morning, I guess you could call this motorhome city!
