Snowbirds 2025

I feel your pain Ken our fridge stopped working on gas got a new jet changed it no joy so bought this as a temporary solution View attachment 75320
A bit of a pain but it’s keeping us going. Second night in Seville we will stay tomorrow night as well then on to Portugal I think.
There's a few good auto Electricians in V.R. do Santo Antonio .worth a Google.
Best of luck
 
our plan is osuna tonight then brave seville for punta umbria beach a couple of days there then into portugal snapping at your heels lol
 
So we decided to leave Seville today and following Ken from the front headed to Punta Umbria we were going to park at the car park next to the Cameron beach bar was a bit surprised to get there and find only one van there three police cars and five police men searching said van. So we left had a drive round and apart from a permanent looking encampment of caravans outside Mercadona there were very few vans around. Drove up the road a bit to the beach park up next to the Mirador beach bar/restaurant eight other vans here plenty of room spoke to a German guy who had been here three nights no problems. Sitting in the Mirador having a beer we will see if the forecast rain comes tomorrow if it does we will head to Ayamonte spend the day in town and probably our last night in Spain before Portugal.

We have checked in at this site for the next 47 nights, cannot believe how many British motorhomes and caravans are here, apparently the Camping and caravan club must have done a deal to take over so many pitches this Winter, it was a different story last year when we stayed here, we were out numbered, not this year though.

Are you arriving today or tomorrow? it’s a bit wet and windy here today
 
we bottled it dave saw the weather forecast &decided to stay here on solid ground with only couple of showers forecast will come tomorrow good couple of days after that , jeff & lorraine were there when it rained last year and woke up marooned in a big puddle lol but it drains fast ,we had thought of going to gibraleon to sit it out but would still have to drive through the storm probably as we went through seville
 
Well it was gorgeous and sunny in Benidorm since getting here yesterday ,so we decided to go for a bike ride this afternoon, within 5 minutes Elaine hit a kerb and fell off.
She thinks she has broken her shoulder, took her to hospital, 4 hours wait to see the doctor, who seems to think it is broken, now queuing to have her shoulder x-rayed, to confirm the doctors suspicion.

Thought I was doing the right thing taking her to a public hospital, I've contacted our travel insurance and because we are at a public hospital and have a GHIC card, they have said we will have to wait it out. Just hope she won't require surgery.
 
Dave Fiona and myself can't believe how unlucky Elaine has been ,Fiona just said so it's no just us that has bad luck
Hope it's not broke mate but please pass on our best wishes for her and fingers crossed it's not broke

Thanks Gordon.They have confirmed she has broken her humerus bone, so she has to keep it in a sling and go back to the hospital in 10 days to see if it is healing.
