We had to leave our precious broken down motorhome in southern Spain. That was hard to do, we have a lot of gear in our van but we couldn’t take it all so we just took clothes and valuable items and essentials. We’re leaving the van at a garage with a lockup yard in Gandia in Spain. Our van will be transported back to our garage in Hull and arrive on the 28th of April two weeks after we get home We travelled home in two hirecars, two trains 4 taxis and stayed in four hotels we did around about 1600 miles. We left a lot of our stuff in the van but we still had to much luggage.

Home sweet home, it’s always good to be home after a few months away.

We’ve been home now about eight weeks. We have our van back it’s looking good and driving very well. We’ve now taken it on a long run about 140 miles on motorways and country roads just to test it out, and it went fine no problem’s up to now 🤞. The break down insurance company where excellent they paid for everything hirecars, hotels the shuttle, taxis and Hull trains all booked and paid by them except the shuttle and Hull trains which I paid for and I was reimbursed with in two week. The van was transported back to Hull two weeks after we arrived home on the exact date I had booked it in at my garage 28thApril. 🙂 The cam belt broke which damaged the engine luckily it was just the top end of the engine the pistons were OK so it needed new valves and other parts which were hard to get hold of so it took six weeks to repair. Should I have changed the cam belt, yes, I do blame my self but the engine had only done 56000 miles but I should have taken the age of the engine into consideration. It’s all done and dusted now,the cost for the repairs £1700 🤨 it could have been worse a new engine would have been £6000, and we’re both home fit and well 😀

Well thats the full story of our three months adventure in Spain over eleven blogs hope you’ve read them all 🤣. We had a fantastic time, till we broke down. It was very stressful 😫 but we’re now home safe and sound. Will we be going to Spain again for the winter, yes, hopefully next January we’ve still got the wanderlust for travelling.
