Default Done it!
We're here!

People said that I needed to bring a sense of humour when moving to Spain.
Well ........ Easter Sunday I rode 260 miles to pick the van up, stow the bike in the van then drove back home, spent Monday loading & sorting out last minute problems, drove 310 miles down to the ferry at Portsmouth on Tuesday, arrived at Santander on Wednesday evening then drove 600 summat miles to Arboleas & unloaded the van except the bike.
All I have to do now is drive the van to Javea (180 miles ish?) on Saturday, unstow the bike & ride back to Casa Doggy(Mk1 ..... rental). Mix that with a loony mutt that goes mental at regular intervals causing havoc on the ferry and I think we've covered the sense of humour

It's been a long week.

Doggy.
