Well it’s that time of year again and so off we go again. We are attending the Caravan and Boat show at the Birmingham NEC for the day and so we left home just around 09.00 and headed up the dreaded M40 which was actually fairly quiet and we arrived at the NEC at a good time of 10.45.
We spent many hours around the show looking at the new caravans and all the associated bits and pieces and decided that pretty much our caravan is still right for us.
The only other one we went through was a Bessacar which looked really nice and was quite expensive but anyway we will stick with what we have got. Later this year we are joining friends in Spain, as per the last two years, and have decided that this time we will drive down and then extend out trip down to Malaga and Cadiz and in to Portugal but to enable us to do this as cheap as possible we have purchased a new tent at this show which we will use on our travels down through France and on to sunny Espagne.
After the show we headed off to the Hotel where we have stayed several times before called the Moxhull Hall Hotel which is about 20 minutes from the NEC.We had a very nice meal in the restaurant with a free bottle of wine from the owner; this is as a result of a complaint when we last visited, but the Hotel is great and the food excellent.
And so to bed
