Archived Alps Pyrenees and Villa Euro Route 2015 Holiday

[oldcarman]

I pack light and buy whatever I forgot and when the wife buys too much we post our clothes home so she can take her treasures in the car and plane. That's how our carvings and clock from Germany made the trip. In our suitcases. Just the essentials in carry ons. JIM

Hi @billz, quick question... where do you stick the Switzerland Motorway vignette sticker? I think it should go where we used to have our tax disc.

 

[billz]

Hi Dave i stick it on the passenger side at the top

 

[Mint]

I'll do the same - cheers Bill.

 

[billz]

By the way they are a pig to remove

 

[Googy]

I have never been on hols and got so near to going and I have no idea were im going .
iv got 2 days in le mans and then its toss a coin san sebastion is fav any one been just for a day or 2

 

[oldcarman]

I think that's the best way to travel. Check with the locals for directions to the places they go to avoid tourists and you'll have a much more pleasant and inexpensive holiday! JIM

Hi guys and gals, going to be a great holiday with some nice relaxing cruising in the sunshine, fab!
Me and Linda off to Alicante in the morning, temperature focast of 36dgr's on Wednesday, too hot.!!
Hope you all have a great time, come back safe and sound.

 

[billz]

Googy We have been to Ainhoa which is a really nice village just at the foothills of the Pyrenees and on the French/ Spanish boarder and about an Hour away from San Sebastian. So if thats any thing to go by then that area should be nice

 

[billz]

Brian how long are you going for ?

Brian how long are you going for ?

Just the week buddy.

 

[billz]

Shame as we will be just north of Alicante when we get to the villa

Yeh first thing i thought of too when i read your route, pity that cos I'm sure it was Moz's turn for a round at the bar!

 

[billz]

Just been looking at the temps for the first few days and we have Friday 29 and then each day is 30, 35, 35, 34, 34, Down at the Villa at the moment is around 31 to 34 next week with a high of 39 tomorrow . So think we may need a bit more than Factor 10 and will need plenty of Liquids

yes that helps looked it up wont be far away from there thx

We have done a slight change to our plans. Could not see the point going into Andorra just for the evening and leaving in the morning, so instead we are going down to Roses in Spain on the Friday and should get there around 2 to 3pm so plenty of chill out time before driving down to the villa

Lovely place Roses stopped there a few years ago enjoy

.................. san sebastion is fav any one been just for a day or 2

Did 6 nights in San Sebastian last month and enjoyed it - very handy for nipping back over the border to Biarritz or Bayonne. Some reasonable drives down the coast road towards Bilbao. We moved on to Santander for 3 nights which was also good and then took ferry home from there to Plymouth.
The weather is changeable in San Sebastian but you can always retreat to the pinchos (tapas) bars which we had to one very wet afternoon. Weekends are very busy but like everything it all depends what you like.

 

[Googy]

right I have bitten the bullet and booked my hols and have ad a change of plan .
I have cancelled my 2 days in le mans.
im now going to and have booked a night in bruges a place me and my missus go regular.
