Are you near scala dei turchi that’s my favourite bit around that area there’s a wee bakers come coffee shop there best conolies in the world enjoy
 
Carol you are never alone, you have got us lot only a few clicks away and we all wished we was with you on your travels . We are sending you some virtual HUGS and CUDDLES . Well done for getting so far, we would love to be there with you x . Lorraine & Jeff
 
What your experiencing carol is really what is to be expected after
enduring the windy conditions at La Linea. The east wind (the Levanter)
is akin in it's affects to the German Foehn.in that it does nothing to
lift the spirits, and quite honestly the west wind is only marginally
to be preferred. You should have sat it out then got a job in Gib pulling pints
you'd be surprised how many Brit lives have been changed doing just that!
Portugal can only be better wind wise.
Normally I'd be in GiB Xmas time but this year I've stayed northeast based on local/family advice but my time is yet to come!

Hi Robina, yes I've been to Mikki's - heading that way though my travel buddy is worried about the poisoned dogs. Anyone been caught? Btw, I'm small, in a small van!:wave:

I am told that a local man has been arrested. There has been no recurrence. One of the dogs was in the van next to ours. They arrived with three small dogs and within two days found and adopted a little stray so they had four. The very next day one of the original three died overnight and they left:-( Everyone was very shocked and upset - especially Mikki who has dogs herself. The Police took it very seriously and were all over the place for several hours searching the lanes around. The second dog was with another van and fell sick at the same time and, although they got it to the vet, it died a day later. It is all very sad but it was dealt with very swiftly.

Maybe bump into you at some point - we have a WC sticker in the windscreen. Staying here at least four more days.
 
Just picked up this thread.

Hope you are feeling more like your cheerful self.?
We're out and about, next week.. Maybe we'll see you?
Hope so.
Xx
 
Hi Carol I hope you feeling a bit better today and the wind has dropped.
Perhaps we will see you soon if you come over towards Portugal and we can swap stories, you may however have to endure Paul as it would appear they have let him out on parole.😆
Let us know if you're coming this way and we can arrange something.
 
Hi Carol. As another solo traveller I know that normally everthkng is sorted but now and again something inconsequential can get to you. In Spain but not wilding as I am an assistant steward on a rally. Even here you are still alone and need an understanding ear sometimes. All the best to you and everyo e I met at the Green Frog. Meg
 
Hi Paul and Lee, yes would be great to meet up. Paul, you've got my mob number I think. I'll probably be in Portugal tomorrow or the day after. Good job no glasses of wine last night. Parked up in Conil de la Frontera and police moved us on 12 30 at night, literally one minute down the road! Glad to report feeling cheerier now. I think Byronic must be right and that wind was messing with my head! So glad to be away from it! Now in Jerez de la Frontera. Thanks again for all your chivvying posts! 🍷🍷🍷

Hi Sue, I'm at Jerez de la Frontera. Probably get to Portugal tomorrow or the day after so will be too late to take up your invite, much appreciated though. Hope the house sit went well. X

Having just read all the way through this thread I now know that you are feeling cheerier, as you have just mentioned the incident.
Chin up :D
