Salamanca Brittany Ferries to Spain - Portsmouth to Bilbao

[@karltemple7764]

travelling by ferry is the best way to travel,no worrying about backage weights and so much easier driving your own vehicle,great video

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you very much 😊

[@BIGV710]

takes me about 45 mins from southampton then ship to santander on a thursday night 33hrs crossing but from plymouth its 24hr xing but im also a hgv1 driver so used to bigger rvs- -- everybody gets a ticket so you can show them to duty free shop for whatever you want--plusv you can get pet friendly cabins as well

[@lifes4touring]

Good to know thanks for sharing 😊

[@micksparrow8214]

We love the inside cabins especially with the false window. Also a note about the reclining chair lounge if it feels uncomfortable and it’s not too busy coming back I did see and speak with others that lied on the bench seats opposite the lounge. Have a great time

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you Mick and thanks for letting us know about the bench seats as it sounds like a good option if needed. We appreciate it 😊

[@motorhomediscoveries]

Was good to see the ferry crossing, really want to do this sometime! Have a fabulous trip in Spain 🇪🇸 👋👋😘

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you both 😊 It's a great way to get straight into Spain, happy travels 😊

[@Robonthemoor]

So you didn’t turn the gas back on!! Fridge?? Please advise, we use the tunnel, so only 30 minutes with the gas off. Ace channel 😀

[@lifes4touring]

Hi, thank you very much we really appreciate it. 😊 We left the fridge off for the whole journey as we kept it empty. However, it was never checked to even see if we had turned the fridge off but it was better to be safe and stock up when we arrived. We did take tinned and dry food over to keep us going until we found a supermarket. Happy travels 😊

[@adelejones5059]

Brilliant video, I was shocked to see the size of the ship when you were parking up, it’s huge 😮. Can’t wait to see your next video, safe travels 👍🏻

[@lifes4touring]

It is massive with plenty of space for your motorhome. Thank you for your support it means a lot 😊 Happy travels 😊

[@paulreyland9671]

A nice smooth crossing 👍 Have a great holiday & safe travels. Off to Solvenia & Croatia next week, can’t wait .

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you very much 😊 It was very smooth I think we was lucky for our first ferry crossing 🙌 Have a great trip, happy travels 😊

[@davidweston8758]

We had a smooth crossing like that , only did the overnight trip and stayed up as find it hard to sleep on a moving vehicle , looking forward to the rest of the vlogs

[@lifes4touring]

Hi and thank you, we have the overnight crossing on the way back so giving the recliners ago. It wasn’t the best sleep even with the cabin as you say because it's moving it's a surreal sensation but we did get some. Happy travels 😊

[@rikkibeattie5174]

[@lifes4touring]

[@Vandaloo-Adventures]

Cambrils near Salou is a great site. Decent park up for the van and chalets for visitors.

[@lifes4touring]

Thanks for the information we have just looked it up and it looks like a great site, unfortunately, we have already booked our stay this time around so will look at that one in the future. Happy travels 😊

[@TomBartram-b1c]

I was on that crossing last year and as chance would have it, a lady sitting near us was reading The Summons by Grisham that my wife and I had recently read. As a prank, i said in a loud voice in ENGLISH (We usually speak Welsh) "do you remember the guy who ..? " And we went on the relate the entire plot within the lady's earshot to spoil her enjoyment of the book. Yeah childish, I know. Anyway she turned to us and said that she'd enjoyed our little summary but we were slightly confused and had just described the plot of a completely different story, The Street Lawyer. Oh God Ive never felt so thick.

[@lifes4touring]

Great story thank you for sharing 😊

[@simonpoole4399]

Doing well we are looking at air conditioning it’s so hot enjoy your trip good video

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you and it is very hot at the moment, I think even an Aircon unit will struggle. A couple of good fans will keep the air flowing 😊 Happy travels

[@stuartgillies8307]

We are currently in Spain and have a Truma Aventa , it doesn’t struggle at all and it was 37c in Merida

[@lifes4touring]

Hi, that's good to hear we have never used one only heard they can struggle. Good to hear otherwise thanks for sharing and happy travels 😊

[@Vandaloo-Adventures]

Cambrils next to Salou has a great site, good park up and chalets for visitors

[@Adventure_Awaitz]

Hope you enjoyed your sailing, as we do this sailing every year. As we have a home in Portugal in the North. Place called Chaves. ❤ Enjoy your vlogs very much.

[@lifes4touring]

Hi thank you very much and yes we did enjoy the crossing 😊 Portugal is lovely it must be great having a retreat there 👍😊

[@KenHooker-z1h]

A nice place not far from Santander is the animal sanctuary Cabarceno wildlife park it's free parking overnight.

[@lifes4touring]

[@arthurdent2900]

Known as the "Elephants Aire", you can watch these wonderful creatures from the site

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@bobmoulton3319]

Hi Really good vlog. Not been on Ferry Looking forward to seeing your adventures over the next few weeks.Hope you have a fantastic holiday. Just 1 thing where did you fill up on the gas ?

[@lifes4touring]

Hi, thank you very much and hopefully you enjoy the adventures 😊 We filled up at a garage called Gerrish Fuels just outside Andover. Happy travels 😊

[@DianeJolley]

Don’t do what I did and put the room card in the back of my phone in the case as it stops it from working , oops 😜. Happy holidays

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you and gladly we didn’t do the same thing, thanks for the heads up for our return journey 😊🙌 Happy travels 😊

[@micksparrow8214]

Every time I do the same. I think I exchanged it 3 times last time. Beats me why they can’t use a proper RFID tag rather than magnetic strip cards.
