Post 70th birthday party we should be back on the road on the Monday and head down to the Franco Spanish border and beyond.
We have six days to get from the party village to Alcossebre.
So as a planner I have been looking on P4N and S4S for places to stop. In the end we have decided on...
The idea was to tour around a bit of Spain and then spend a week in the timeshare in Alcossebre again. Until I can get rid of it, it's a bit of a millstone around my neck. Since I bought it cheap off a friend in 1993 we have tended to use it for "exchange" travel mainly to the US.

Starting this now so that I have a place marker. When I posted my first journal some weeks ago there were 35 in the system. And now? 135 with my 2 entries!
So where? I had been thinking of Germany but I am thinking of staying more locally. Or rather in France and maybe into Spain. So watch...
