Our day out


We thought we would have a day out in our
motor home “Bessy” (it is a bessicar make)







Well first we thought we would go to the shopping centre about an hour from home in Murcia.
The ride down there is through some beautiful country, Mountains and lakes, orange and lemon groves.

I thought it funny that Brian wanted to go shopping in a meadow hall type place, but was making a mental note of what we needed, some tops out of Primark or C&A, some sheets out of Eroskis

But I might of known he had an ulterior motive. The Real Murcia football stadium is outside of the Nueve Condomina shopping.Well they are now in La Liga and will be playing teams like Barcelona and Madrid I was told.So in we go to the shopping arcade,( they are still landscaping the gardens round it as it is not a year old yet).

Well down to shopping now I thought, but no off we go to the Real Murcia football shop,I just want to find out how much a season ticket is.


Now can I go shopping this place is much like Meadow hall, but as you can see not as crowded as Meadow hall has been when I have been there. always something in the hyper market to buy.

All I got were some bedding, and fresh bread, ham cheese and tomato's for our lunch.

We decided we would have lunch by the lake, This is a view as you approach it, beautiful or what.



As you can see Brian is having afters that we found in the fridge on the van, and Tiny waiting hopefully for him to drop a chocolate...... phew no chance of that Tiny.

We then took Tiny a walk down to the lake it was so hot we had to go back to the van.






We ended our trip by going along the coast and stopping in Torrevieja for a cooling Ice cream. Torrevieja is a very pleasant small resort, with a beautiful church square And many fountains.





We had such a good day we are going to do it again, even getting away for the day was fun, we have decided we will do this more often, all the places we visited this time are within an hours drive of home so you don't have to go far for a good day out.


This is the end of Brain's trip, while I am walking Tiny Brian is getting comfortable............

Come on lazy home please.

Oooh you have a camper like ours! Well, ours is a Compass and a bit older than yours and probably a bit smaller at 17 1/2', but similar all the same! Hopefully we're going away this weekend to the York area. I shall of course post photos if we go.:0)

They are great are they not, ours is 8 metres long.
We went for a compass, and fellin love with the Bessicar, it was 2 years old and done 4000 miles. We have had it 2 years now.
