Revisita España 2014 - Day 2 Part 2

Arrived in Santander at around 1815. Then bobbing about waiting to get on the berth.

Lovely and sunny. The beaches full of people enjoying the weather and the sea.

LD Lines have been pretty good. Food okay but a little pricey. Bar good. Cabin good. 

We were off pretty sharply at about 1850 and into the streets of Santander.

TomTom took us along the road parallel with the port. Apparently we had to turn left at a roundabout that didn't actually exist as they have built a huge shopping mall and bunged in an underpass. TomTom maps not updated. Pretty poor, especially as we seem to be subsidising the latest generation owners, who get free maps for life. I wonder if they have this problem.

Eventually we found our way to the hotel. The bar is open for a beer and healthy crisps. The hotel San Millán has a fitness centre. Cue loads of Mr Muscles everywhere, and strangely loads of smokers...

The car park of the main road is a curious dirt hairpin. Not pleasant fully loaded.

We parked and checked in. Then found another car park. So I moved the bike there.

Parking outside the gate where this little lady wouldn't move..

Had our first beer. A tiny 20cl Mahou. I suppose that fits in with the laughingly tab smoking fitness plans....

 

Now to find food...
