Trip to Scotland and Ireland by car | North Cape
A month is the time we have to go through these two countries. One month we want to make the most, and do not understand tube take in getting many tourist attractions, but as enjoy the trip without tube set routes, and schedules without reserving only what is necessary, or what is the same, doing what we want at the moment, and without much follow tube the routes and places of interest marked by tourist tube guides. It will be a journey quite different from many others we did, where we take but we left to see "where they have to go all the tourists," that is, where we send the tour guides. Not that it is at odds with this type of travel, but this time we wanted tube a different trip, where tour guides (who also had been) served only as a recommendation, a mere source tube of information, but then we would do what we wished . It is also different from a trip we made to the previous year, the trip to the North Cape by car (link) that has so many entries in this blog. It is different for the reason that trip was one goal: Get to the North Cape, this was the fundamental reason for the trip, fulfill the dream of getting to that place, the many hours spent in the car to achieve tube this goal not decreased at all magic that trip. It was a trip too different and exceptional.
So if you want information of tourist places to visit as much as possible taking advantage of the time, I recommend you buy some of the excellent guidebooks on the market (El Pais Aguilar, Lonely Planet Guides Azules, etc ...) as well as see many pages website where you can find a lot of information these places, but they also want to know Scotland and Ireland tube in another way, a different way (at least for me), you can read the travelogue of my journey, reflecting my view of landscapes, tourist populations not ... and tourist places of the ones I got, but the accommodations and less cozy, the bars where it is worth taking a few pints ...
For me to start a trip out of the house to the airport, meterme on the plane, and appear after a few hours at the destination, pérdeme part of the essence of the trip. So whenever I can, I like to get to your destination slowly, in several stages, because they are those who think that the trip is not only reach their destination, but enjoy the way. For this reason we made the trip in my car, which left the home to Bilbao, where we take the ferry to Portsmouth (England). From there, we went by car to Scotland and spent 11 days there. Then we took another tube ferry to Ireland to enjoy another 11 days until we boarded a ferry to third Roscoff in Brittany and from there back home by road. The route describireino as a travelogue, ie commenting day by day, including addition, all data kilometers, accommodations and prices throughout the day spent per day for two people, making it all but mild with photographs did on the trip.
The ferry to Portsmouth saíanos Bilbo on the 29th at 1 pm, that's why we started the trip the day before. So that day we take the morning to finish preparing the luggage and do some transactions related to travel. We left after lunch and did almost 500 miles to Bilbao, where we arrived as night. Sleep in a hotel Formule 1 hotel chain very famous in France, where for just 35 you have a double room very well equipped, but with shared bathroom.
As the ferry does not leave until 1 pm, we can still have breakfast quietly and do some shopping in a mall next to the hotel, mainly to buy provisions, tube because as we said the food at the ferry is expensive and not very good for you we are used to, so you better make a good breakfast and then survive more than 24 hours a sandwich and fruit. He also took the opportunity to fill the tank, as the diesel in the UK is more expensive.
With advancement of time we got to the port of Santurtzi, specifically to the peak number 3, which is where the ferry leaves and is very well signposted, and from the A8 motorway. Once you park the car in the warehouse, we leave the luggage in the cabin (once the boat out, you can not go down to the car).
The boat leaves on time, and shortly after starting, once we move away from the land under the cabin. We chose a double cabin and exterior, since spending 29 hours set out in a boat cabin interior becomes somewhat claustrophobic, and besides, the price difference was not much. We paid a total of 487, which includes tickets for 2 adults, car and cabin outside, and do not consider the excessive considering that the two ferries from Santander who left were more expensive
How am lucky to not marearme, I enjoy much of my time on the boat. Dedícome mainly read, and v
