Yes, very cold! Even Jamie wasn't interested in getting up early! But the new heater is very efficient until the sun gets up and another lovely day beckons. We had no company overnight although a pair of Dutch vans arrived as we were getting ready to depart at 11.00ish.
Back onto the autovia and down to Malaga to rejoin the A7, this time our destination being Algeciras. Once again very busy, much the same as yesterday but when the sun is shining and you are passing through attractive scenery who cares? It was only a relatively short run today and we chose Algeciras as overnighting wouldn't be a problem and we coud take our pick of several large supermarkets to stock up from pending our arrival at El Puerto de Santa Maria on Monday.
So we chose to use the Mercadonna end of the huge parking area, Bren calling in for a baguette for lunch and coming back with a full shopping bag! Lunch and then a lazy afternoon watching the parking fill up with dozens of motorhomes of all nationalities, type and condition - we're sure some of them have never seen a vehicle testing station!
Took Jamie out for his final walkies for the evening and it looked like we were on the edge of a huge campsite, although strangely it was almost empty when we got up on Saturday. We put this down to Algeciras being the recognised jumping-off spot for Morocco with the vast majority of ferries leaving from the port. This means there are plenty of ticket agencies around but the favourite still seems to be Carlos at Voyages Normandie who we noticed has moved to a much bigger office.
