I have to check in at the Bilbao ferry terminal at 10am on the 21/4/08.

Can anyone recomend a nearby site that will take a 30ft RV.

Wifi would be an advantage.

Muchly thanks

Ian

This won't help much but the one at Sopelana, whilst good for transport links for Bibao city, is very cramped and appeared this February to be almost filled with statics/long termers.

I can't think it would accommodate a 30ft vehicle.

Hi If you drive into the departure gate carpark at ferry terminal there are normally m/homes and wagons parked up for the night.

I find it better to park up alongside the fence on the lefthand side once you enter the departure gate carpark.

Not far to walk to find bars & restaurants

Hello there,

We stayed at costajan camping and got up early for the ferry and arrived in-time. Our MH is only 25 foot but why not send an email to the owner. He has a basic command of seven languages!.

Hello Ian,

In Short,

It was less than two hours, this we knew. No problem, we read the campsite signs the night before that the barrier opened at 8:30am. Of course that gave us at least 2 1/2 hours so no problem.

The funny side,

However, the next morning I raised all the passnegers and crew like A Sargeant Major. Drove to the barrier to find it locked down. Waited ten minutes and still not raised. Without wanting to disturb the other campers and campsite owners with blarring air horns I tried to work out which of the numerous open to air and my poking finger switches performed the "open sesame". Click. flick, Zilch, rien, nowt, nothing BLARRING HALOGENS, a few blips later and still the barrier lay low.

"MMMMMM. Now what said my despairing and bleary eyed bunch".

"One of you Ring the owner, we must catch that boat, ring his emergency number 01234567890" I replied

Anyway in short a few minutes, bleary eyed campsite owner (yet another one) apeared in nightware on a motorbike not fit for those with any form of vision, proceded to unlock the recpeption door and push the much hunted and saught after "open sesame" button from within. He then remarked In what I fully inderstood in English to mean,,,,,,,

It is Only 7:40 am, the clocks changed last night, you are an hour early!.

Suffice to say, we arrived in-time for the Ferry and in our extra hour managed full breakfast and got the dull event of watching all the nice People disembark. We were still one of the last to get off the other end

Trev.
