25 May

Today we headed for Santander, all was going well until about 100 miles away, at around midday a police car that was sitting in a layby pulled out as we went passed. He passed dad then me, then the lights went on and he signalled for me to pull over.
Even though we haven't been going quick all 3 of us assumed they were going to book me for speeding, but to our suprise it was dad they were interested in. They fined him on the spot €105 in broad daylight because his headlight wasn't working, he wasn't very happy!

Then about 30 miles from Santander we hit a really bad hail storm, we are now all drenched and just wanting to get home, the fun ended when we left Africa!

We found a hotel in the town ready for our ferry tomorrow

Miles covered: 326

A fine for a dodgy headlight? Obviously a Health & Safety issue. Welcome back to EU. Geoff
