Re: Bilbao!!
 

mel you do realise how long you'll be on the boat dont you? its a lot longer trip than what paul was on the boat for the other week, hope your not sea sick either....and you have to get down to portsmouth to get on the boat


ferry to Spain - portsmouth-bilbao - P&O Ferries

Re: Bilbao!!
 

Those P&O mincruises are a bit like Butlins on water :)

We went on the Belguim one last year and doing the Holland one soon.

Re: Bilbao!!
 

the belgium one is good, ive done that 3 times now, but its mels first trip by boat and its a fair distance to go when you've not sailed before, especially this time of the year

Re: Bilbao!!
 

I will be fine!! and if I'm not, then you live and learn!!

I am really looking forward to it actually!!

Worst that can happen is feel sick!!

Re: Bilbao!!
 

Yes I realise all of the above points lol

Thank god for cars and sat-nav's

Re: Bilbao!!

Re: Bilbao!!
 

Check these out Bernie!!


P&O Ferries

The prices are great really. They also do a lot of bogof offers!!

Re: Bilbao!!
 

No point looking at the mo because can't go anyway, I'll just end up feeling more naffed off!!

Re: Bilbao!!
 

Get some Traveleeze tablets from Asda Chemist or Boots just in case. We got some because my daughter was panicking a bit about seas sickness when we went. As it happened we didn't need them :)

Did you pre-book meals as well ? Cheaper if you pre-book and although they seem a bit pricey the food is very good and it's self service buffet style so you eat all you want :)

Re: Bilbao!!
 

No we didn't pre-book meals, because it's hit and miss with me whether I want breakfast or not ( not a breakfast person ) so Ginger said no point pre-booking them, we will just pay when we get on the ferry. I know it's a little dearer to pay when you get on, but he is paying, so I aint worried :D:D

I think I will take youur advice and go asda for some tablets. Don't think I will need em. Not a lot makes me feel sick (( been a carer for 9 years )) :D but they are there just in case!!

Re: Bilbao!!
 

Thanks for sparing us the detail :D

On the various occasions I go to France I try to avoid the ferry and go by tunnnel because I don't like the ferries. When we went to Belguim I wasn't overkeen on doing the boat thing but even though it was mid Feb in the North Sea, waves about 10 mile high I didn't really notice too much and actually enjoyed it.

Hope you see some Dolphins on your way :)

Re: Bilbao!!
 

thanks for that :eek: oh heck what have I done??
















only joking, I guess i will never know unless I try!!
