After weeks of delays getting parts shipped from the US, UK, Europe and China I've finally got Campalot to a point where it is technically useable. We have windows, working hot water and drainage, a shower tray, a working fridge/freezer and cool box and, as my bolts finally got delivered by the Spanish post office this week, a working staircase...
Unfortunately we now have nowhere to go. We had originally aimed to visit back to the UK around now as a test run, probably taking a scenic route back via Johnmill in the Netherlands and possible the Seatters in Switzerland, but there is no way we can practically meet the quarantine requirements in the UK unless we pay to rent somewhere for 2 weeks to sit and be miserable, and most of the family we hoped to visit are now all in tier 3 lockdown so we wouldn't have been able to visit them anyway. And the UK government seems so unpredictable in bringing in changes at such short notice there is no way we are going to risk getting caught up in a total lockdown.
So we will stay on the balcony. I'll keep plodding on with fitting out the camper cupboards and making it all pretty inside, we will explore some more of Catalonia as day trips as and when local restrictions allow, hope that Johnmill is able to join us for Christmas, and that the spring brings some relief and we can hit the road for the summer....
