Day 2 – Laredo

This morning got off to a very slow start… the scamps didn’t wake up until 9:15, and I was sent off to the spa for a very theatrical massage!  I’m not sure it was supposed to be as theatrical as it was but the chap doing it seemed to enjoy the dramatic moves!!

After the massage I disobeyed the strong order not to drink coffee (come on!!), we headed to the restaurant for breakfast… where I had 3 cups… Stew and I had some pastries and a full english whilst the children had cereal and more croissants.

After breakfast we headed to the back of the bar to hear a talk on dolphins and whales.  We saw some dolphins off the back of the boat, and apparently the group that were out at 6am saw some orca whales up close.

Youre going to just have to believe me that there are striped dolphins in this photo!image

A competitive game of yhatzee followed and before we knew it, it was time to get off the ferry.  I am convinced we were the last vehicle off the boat, and Im more convinced they take a look at the van and tuck us somewhere out of the way so that if Freckle doesn’t start we don’t hold everyone up!  Of course Freckle started faultlessly and we soon had our turn to get off!

I was really blown away by how beautiful this part of the world is…. the blue sea and rocky green mountains were beautiful. 

We headed for the campsite, and eventually got found our home for the night. http://campinglaredo.com/en/

After checking in, I took the precaution of popping into the shop for a bottle of wine.  Now usually in a campsite shop I would go for the absolute cheapest bottle, this time, I splashed out and went for the 3rd cheapest…. it blew the budget at €2.10.  So after a great BBQ, and the speediest camp set up ever we are enjoying a few moments peace before heading to bed for the night.
