They think it's all over.... It is now

The Brown Service team have made it back after a long eventful drive home. We left the Hotel on Sunday and headed for Sevillie to see Emma and Simon. Five hours later we arrived in the city of Barbers, it's an old city with very small streets and a lot of cars. Not the sort of place you want to be driving a trailer around. We met up with Emma and her mum and tried to find some secure parking. We had no luck with that so cut our losses and headed for the hospital to see Simon.

He's in a trauma ward and visiting is restricted to two twenty minute slots a day. I popped in with Emma for a couple of minutes and said hi to the old fellow and then we had a quick trip around the city looking for something to eat. We ended up at a fish tapas bar and had a nice (if not odd) bit of food and a chat.

As we couldn't find any secure parking for the trailer we had to cut our trip shorter than we would have liked and off we headed for home. Almost straight away we were stopped by the cops and searched a bit, then Spain decided to close a main road at 4am. We ended up in all sorts of crazy small villages with itty bitty roads. After a bit of kip on we went through Bilbao with a side trip to the Goggenheim museum. Eventualy we ended up in France and found that the French had closed most of the periferique around Paris, cue small roads and loads of traffic. We got the ferry port at 4am and were on the ferry at 5.30am.
