Sat 28 Oct At sea Bay of Biscay to Santander Cabarceno Wildlife Park

Grey smooth sea and white sky, gentle rocking to wake us up.  With all good intentions we went up on deck for a walk to be greeted by the aroma of cooked bacon and coffee.........after not much deliberating we opted for 2 cooked breakfasts  £4 each, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, sausage, hash brown and baked beans.

After some fresh air we went down to deck 7 for a virtual under the sea reality experience. A 3 minute video with goggles on, it was amazing just like being a diver under the sea, fish, ship wrecks, Whale and the sea floor was like an underwater snow capped mountain, incredible .

Then we had bingo, but again no luck...later they had deck quoits at 2.15, Tony was leading most of the way but was pipped at the post but he did win a pen.




We had a late lunch after our big brekky , I had a fruits de la mer pasta in creamy sauce, heated up in the microwave Tony had a sandwichand croissants.

We went up on deck and saw the first sight of land and the Picos de Europa mountains.
The was an Osprey flying and gliding around us.














We packed and readied to be called. The skipper negotiated the exit through the huge port area onto Spanish roads , he is very good at this just like a duck to water, a very smooth transition. Drove slightly south and up a narrow winding road to our park at Cabarceno Wildlife Park.

Very popular about 30 motorhomes and more came it was just about full, Tony spoke to a Brit who thought the park was closed as this area is usually full of busses and cars, the smaller area is for motorhomes with the waste dump .



Crackers for a lite tea after our late lunch on the ferry.
