Wandering about in space and time.
Having decided we needed to get on the water whilst wintering in Spain and after exhaustive research we purchased a couple of Dagger Axis 10.5 kayaks.
We took off their cellophane jackets…………
A few adjustments were made and…………..
We were ready for our first voyage.
To our relief the kayaks performed well and nobody died and we had a great time.
At the start of our travels, we decided to start a video blog. As Christmas was coming we went all extravagant and bought a drone.
The local landmark, Torre Del Gerro, provided the perfect subject on which to test our skills; or lack of them.
These ancient towers, dating from the 16th century, are dotted along the Spanish coast and had the same role as the English Martello towers. Their original use was to spot the Berber pirates as they approached.
The tower is known locally, within the ex-pat circles (and possibly amongst the Spanish too) as The Pepperpot. It’s a popular local walk, as it has a steady incline and is easy under foot.
Once at the Tower, face the sea and catch your breath. For spectacular views; left for Denia, and right, for the lighthouse at Cap de Sant Antoni. Behind you towers the rocky face of Montgo, with the ‘Ghost Town’ nestling at it’s base.
While the rest of our fellow campers fished out turkeys from their freezers and made full roast lunches with all the trimmings, we went bijou.
With no oven and no room for a mountain of gifts, we came up with a plan:
KEEP IT SIMPLE.
It turns out that simple is good, unlike this movie, which is bad; sorry about that!
The Bottom Line about overland Travel To Spain
We gave up trying to write about the complexity of our road trip south. There is so much to say, none of it that gripping, that we had to work hard to distill our four nights of travelling into a sparkling bijou piece. How did we do it? We made a short and, though we say it ourselves, sophisticated, cartoon movie.
Travel with us in our little red T4 VW Camper Van, as we make our way from England’s bottom, to a campsite in Spain’s bottom. No expense has been spent on this artful project.
Please feel free to comment on the storyline, high production values and our astonishing technical excellence in lighting and sound.
Prepare to be AMAZED!
