Well so far this weekend, apart from my 'nursing' duties, I've checked the prices/availability of ferries from Barcelona for the summer; checked the prices for Eurotunnel to go away to France over Easter and insured our Motorhome for European breakdown cover. So things are getting moving...
There appears to be quite a good deal on the Eurotunnel. We intend to leave England on Sunday 19th April (after the christening) and spend the next week in France coming home on either the 26th or 27th April. I just need to read up on travelling around France in a motorhome and also work out some kind of route. I know that Mick wants to go and see the Millau (is that how you spell it?) viaduct again so I guess we will be going down that side of France. Time to open up Google Earth and take a look...
As far as the summer holiday is concerned, we will be travelling in our car as we have to get to Mallorca, the ferries are still offering cabins but we can't book them yet because the dates haven't been put up for the end of June/beginning of July. They are almost there but not quite!! We've decided to book a cabin on the way back this time as well. Last time the cabin across was a God-send because it meant we had a good night's sleep but we didn't bother coming back because it was daytime. However it's a long crossing and we got bored and tired so I think a cabin en route homewards would be ideal as well. It would at least give us a chance to have a lie down if we wanted to and somewhere to put our bag. It also only works out about £50 extra for the cabin both ways.
