New vocation

20th January

The best nights sleep for ages. It is odd, but when you go to a hotel, there is always the noise of people passing your door, or from next door, or something is wrong with the room or the pillows or the mattress. This camper van lark is great. It is really quiet, and you have all your own home comforts.

A really long walk down the beach to the town of Isla Christina resulted in JC finding the house he wants to buy. ( now I am getting worried). This was only accentuated by a delicious lunch in one of the beachside restaurants whilst watching the Tuna fleet at work.




We are obviously in Tuna country. The restaurants have at least 6 Tuna options on their menus.

Back to Wishstream for an afternoon snooze. Errr, what is that water coming from under the kitchen unit. I do know how my husband feels about DIY and as this was his first lunch + vino for ages, I could understand any reluctance but he was straight in there to get involved. Within minutes we had the drawers out, sink out, and lo .... the waste pipe runs horizontally into a T connector that has one end going up to draining board and the lower part connects over the pipe that goes into the waste tank. Except that it was no longer connected. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN??

Luckily because of our DIY skills and plumber intuition we sorted it and put everything back together in time for our sunset drink on the beach with our new Scottish friends.
