A day of sailing and arrival in to Santander

We went  for breakfast in the café at around 10.30 and then spent the rest of the morning lazing around although Jennifer went for a hand massage at the Spa, Free thank heavens.

At lunchtime we went to the upper deck bar and café and had a salad  which was all we needed and then we purchased some food for later in the evening for when we arrived at the Hotel. As the Spanish  tend to eat very late in Spain from 21.00 hrs onwards and we are not used to that we had decided rather than risk a late dinner we would buy some sandwiches on the ferry and together with a glass of plonk that should go down well.
The Ferry is beginning to show its age, The Cap Finistair was built in the late 1990's bafore being bouth by Brittanny Ferries about eight years . 
The Ferry was running about one hour late due to some technical problem they said, and so we arrived in Santander at around 6.30 pm local time and were off the ferry about 45 minutes later and headed out of town to our country hotel where we arrived at about 19.45 and checked and the place looked deserted.

The room is a little basic  but fine and so Noel fixed up the TV Streaming stick and then we watched some Netflix before turning in after eating our our light meal.

A very pleasant day indeed
