Motorhome Tour Of SPAIN: Ferry ENGLAND To SPAIN (1)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Away The Travel Trolls Go! We finally get on the ferry after getting our motorhome searched as we entered the port in Plymouth. Then more antics as Mazzy takes sick before the anchor is lifted. It wasn't the easiest of journeys without a cabin to sleep in but somehow we made it all the way here and thanks to our Rural Internet (link further down), we managed to bring you this video from Spain. A good nights rest ahead and then let the adventures begin!!

Brilliant to watch your travel adventures.. Sorry Mazzy was sick. The French speaking at the start of your journey is because the vessel you’re on ( Pont Aven ) is French registered 🇫🇷 ( Morlaix )
We were searched in our caravan too. We’re there no cabins left? It’s a long journey in chairs it is worth the extra money, bed and shower! . See if you can get one on way home, they are cheaper on return. Brittany …… French , lol that’s why they use French first! You made me laugh , wrong boat 😂 some people take travel tabs a few hours before journey , they knock you out . Put your watch on your right hand, that hand is always next to kerb, passenger side in centre of road. That’s how I remember, soon it will be second nature to you .Looking forward to joining you both in Spain xx❤️
You should have booked a cabin
Awww, hope you both had a restful night after that arduous journey, sorry Mazzy wasn’t well, definitely book a cabin for the return. Hope all goes smoothly for the rest of your trip. Looking forward to seeing some fun vlogs over the coming weeks x take care guys x
Thanks for taking us with you on your journey I'm sorry you were poorly Mazzy but I'm sure you will both enjoy yourselves and take care xx
Mazzy so sorry you had such a bad trip. You both need some well earned rest now. Thankyou Dan for showing us some parts of the journey. Cant wait to see the vlogs of your upcoming holiday. Take care, rest up and recharge yourselves ready to enjoy your trip. ❤❤❤❤❤
Why didnt you get a cabin. Mazzy could have got proper kip. Get some ginger bikkys for her tum. It good for sea. Sickness
We explained why.
I have used the seabands many times on cruises and boats or long car rides. They work for me. Looks like you might have yours on wrong. The rounded part of the white button needs to hit the pressure point on your wrist, not the flat part. Enjoy your trip!
The reason crew were French is in the name, "Brittany" Ferries !! We had terrible rough seas across the Bay Of Biscay, but I loved it. We were having dinner and all but me of our group had to make excuses and leave the table !!
Dan you are true Yorkshire man. You get what you pay for, so get a cabin next time. Glad you are better Mazzy, not a nice journey, sorry to see you not well. Looking forward to your onward journey. 🤣
We feel for Mazzy. It's horrible seasickness, Jenny suffers from it. Jenny took ginger tablets, and the sea band that Mazzy got, but our NI crossing was so much smoother than yours. Get better soon. We couldn't do that crossing with having to leave Poppy in kennels and Jenny's seasickness.
Im a newby to your channel and absolutely loving your spain vlogs , your a lovely couple and love how you look after each other 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Really enjoyed this one,I havent been on a ferry for 40 years and I remember the toilets being blocked on a very rough crossing I was only 10,Mazzy looked quite poorly bless her,hopefully your return will be much better-Hola spain btw!
New to the channel thank you you are both great love the channel paul in Kent ❤
Aww Mazzy, I’m glad I’m not the only one to do daft things when I’m in a bit of a panic. My Auntie had the sickness on boats ,she was hanging over the boat being sick and her false teeth shot out and my mum managed to catch them.😂 phew!
Britany ferry's are French, clues in name, 😋 tell Mazzy she needs plenty of bread and jam , dunt stop you being sick but tastes better when it comes back up 😂👍enjoy your trip 😉 👍
Ginger biscuits are supposed to stop seasickness
Brittany ferries are a French company, that’s why the announcements are in French with English and Spanish added on. It always looks like they’ll never get everyone on the boat before departure, but once you’re in that queue on the dockside you’re going to get on, they won’t leave you behind. I don’t think I’ve ever been on a Brittany ferry that’s left on time yet, they’ve always left a few minutes late, but over the time you travel they can go a bit faster and make up the time to arrive on time.
I did thought you were optimistic about the sleeper seats, I’ve tried them in the past, it was hopeless there was no way I was ever going to get any sleep on one of those. Ok I’m a big lad, 6’ 3” and around 140Kg, but the seats don’t recline very far they are cramped and the sound of snoring meant there was no way I was ever getting to sleep. So now when I do a ferry trip I either have a cabin or if they are fully booked out I’ll find a quiet corner put a blanket down and sleep on the floor. The extra few quid for a cabin is well worth it, proper bed with your own toilet and shower plus it gives you somewhere to go and properly lay down if you do get motion sickness like Mazzy.
Being in the Navy. You have to eat to line your stomache you will be surprised how many muscles you use on a pitching and rolling ship. Hence you felt tired. Always take sea sick pills at least 12hours before sailing. Drink water too. Go to the upper deck fresh air and seeing the horizon helps. Enjoy your trip to Spain. Dave in Australia 🇦🇺
She said she knew she could be sea sick. So why wouldn't you bring them with you.
I'm prone to it and always take medication before embarkation.
Lesson learned I suppose.
Daahcams are not allowed in lot of Europe due to their privacy laws so take care if you are filming
Great to see you arrive safely, i'm just sorry that Mazzy had a bad sea crossing. Thanks Dan for recording what you could it was really interesting seeing you driving into the ship and on the decks. Looking forward to your adventures around Spain as always stay safe and well. 👍
Take sea sick tablets before you board on your return & book a cabin & sleep though it. Bay of Biscay is always rough especially this time of year
I’m so excited for you on your Spanish trip. Poor Mazzy feeling ill on the ferry. Hopefully you are feeling better now and starting to enjoy your holiday 😎☀️I would be interested to see how you get on with rural internet abroad, as we use rural internet in the UK and it is great.😊
I can recommend San Vicente de la Barquera and Santillana del Mar, both are beautiful to visit if you haven´t got a travel plan.
French owned shipping company, Dan. Hence, the French language. Safe travels.
You two are just AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this first part of your adventure.
So sorry to see you so unwell Mazzy. We hope you will find travel tablets in Spain, if not let us know and maybe we can send some over if you stay in the same place for a few days👍🤞💝 Travel tablets for them to work you start taking them a few hours BEFORE you go into the ship. I also get sea sick and although even after taking the tablet I still feel strange in my head but not as sick as when I don’t take them.
And Mazzy it’s amazing how beautiful you look after feeling so unwell.
We loved your conversation with John! HILARIOUS.
We hope you both had a good night sleep after this long journey. We so enjoyed this episode. Thank you💝💝💝
Love from Ozay and Ahiranta of The Happy Life Show💝
Very entertaining
I am terribly seasick. I have the wrist bands you are supposed to "activate" (press the bead on the pressure point 10 times) them half hour before you board. Always stay in the centre of the boat where it rocks the least, not on the outside
Well done to you both, you made it! Time to calm down and chill. No rush and no worries about struggling to find somewhere to stay, and no costly site fees! Looking forward to sharing your journey. Done France a few times but not Spain yet.
Been waiting a long time for this trip abroad maybe when you come back travel through France and take the Eurotunnel no sea sickness I am not a big ferry fan enjoy 😀
Great video - so down to earth and informative..(glad to know they don't sell travel sickness tablets) I speculative that Mazzy may have got ill because she wasn't facing the direction of travel. Sorry the trip wasn't great.. I am started to dread mine, and we have cabin.
Used to love those empty crossings on the Pont Avon. I have done that with the family many times with the family to France. Great boat.
Corrr those rolls ❤ .. lovely. I had to do Cornwall to plymouth to Roskoff, drive to Denia, boat a ross to here .. to get my dog here. I was in a 1998 off road Land Rover discovery that was slow and rolled like an arse in a gale. I did it though and like doing it. That warm Spanish wind.. i hear you.. its beautiful. My inly regret was i didnt move here sooner. ❤
Just found this it’s a good watch but lessons to be learnt when going to Spain from the uk by ferry get a cabin you can sleep shower and somewhere just to rest. Happy travels.
Very entertaining sorry to hear you didn't appreciate the French take on a full English, but surprised you'd not seen a hash brown before! 😉
The sickness bands work for me. I’ve already seen your return journey, that was much better.
im agrophobic...so following u 2 .....im wiv ya both on ya travels 🤪🤪
Hi Dan & Mazzy hope trip went smoothly for you
Mazzy travel bands make sure white bit is below pulse point and put on 2-3 hrs before boarding and odd as sounds tapping helps (on back of hand may help take mind off of feeling ick) big hugs
im still catching up on all ya vids and bingo...ive found how ya get over the sea in ya motor home...exciting xx
I'm days behind watching this Mazzy you need to get some ginger nut biscuits, my hubby suffers with sea sickness & the biscuits help him immensely sounds strange but they help x
Hi there! Put a sticker ABOVE YOUR VISOR with your motorhome Length, Width & Height in Feet/Metres! ☺ Have you married Mazzy yet?
first
It’s too late for sickness tabs now, you normally have to take them before. Xxx
Thanks muzzy and Dan you keep me entertained I am lying in. A hospital bed in my living room with a broken back,
Much better with a cabin you will always feel better laid on a proper bed.Get some travel sick pills from the chemist for the way home
Going on the pont aven in august for the 1st I’m scared for some reason should I be ?
Oh poor mazzy I know how she feels I can't do Larne to Stranraer and belfast isle of man have to stay out on deck every time they say sit in middle boat oh pet I feel for you xxx
Hope you enjoy Spain 🇪🇸 i was actually born in Tarragona not far from Barcelona but we actually lived in a small town called Comarruga,my parents moved over there late 60s bought a motel.
My parents separated when i was 6 so my mum moved back to the UK 🇬🇧,but anyway hope you have a safe but fantastic time xx
No dashcams for security reasons, despite every man and his dog having a mobile camera in their pockets.
Nice easy process boarding the boat staff were very organised.Sorry you felt ill Mazzy enjoy your sleep 😍
the moral of the story mazzy..ya dan loves your breaky and dinners xx
Wishing you both a very enjoyable holiday in Spain 🇪🇸. My heart went out to you Mazzy and you feeling 🤮 sick on the ship. Dan you looked lost without Mazzy walking round .looking forward to your vlogs from spain.
Exciting! So glad to see you’re finally in Spain. Sorry to hear that Mazzy got seasick
Get the train back, save Mazzie getting ill. Have a great holiday.
Great video 🎉 Afraid I can't sail. Thank you xx
im the same going 2 ireland......ive no sea legs..bless mazzy x
The great Pont Aven boat, the only time I've seen water in the pool, was years ago and they had to empty it because the sea was so rough... glad to see you were feeling better early morning Mazzie. Bon voyage. Way up the pros and cons of travelling back driving through France and catching a ferry back to UK, cheaper ferries are from Calais-Dover Dunkirk-Dover and shorter crossings for Mazzie.
Dash what the going to do about vehicle with them built in .
Plus we not long done the trip our dishcam was on all the time
Brittany Ferries is a French company hence them speaking French first
Brittany ferries is a French company, that's why the announcements are in french 1st
Years ago we used to Pack up sandwiches, and a picnic on board the ferry,
Glad you arrived safely, rest and recoup, look forward to the next episode 🙏
Just joined up. I live in Plymouth. Enjoy
The clue to the french is the name of the firm they are Brittany ferries, Brittany is a region in France...have a fab journey guys!
You should of gat a cabin would of been better great video keep up the good work
Should stand up and look out to sea, helps the sickness I find
Awe poor Mazzy hope you are feeling better now .
Hi Mazzy an Dan,I fancy goin to spain just like you two in my 22ft Motorhome after Xmas for 2 months maybe bit longer.Can i ask will you tell me the average price for same ferry you took.Thanks John.
£466
You cannot video search but once over you can reconnect.
It's always best to have a cabin guys
I panic too! It’s not easy 😂 but you did ace 🎉
My first time on a ship, was in 1946, heading to Hawaii to meet up with dad, who was stationed there in the Navy... Don't remember that one.. I was not even one yet.. I turn 77 Saturday.. lol Man I'm gettin old.
Back in 1955, Mom, my brother and sister, and I spent 2 weeks on a ship, going to Guam In the Pacific.. Navy move again. Sea Sick for a day or so.. but then someone showed me how to stand and walk on a rocking ship.. and I never got sea sick again.. Even when I spent 2 years on an Aircraft Carrier in the late 60s.. When the ship rocks one way.. you lean the opposite way.. It works.. I love the ocean.. and here I sit in the middle of the mountains of Montana. USA... haha
Loved the video guys.. I felt for Mazzy.. nothing worse than being sea sick..
I think that wrist band must of worked... cus she was seeming a lot better walking with you on deck... I have a friend who wore those when he was going through Kemo a few years back.. Killed that type of motion sickness...
Mazzy.. on you way home on ferry. Try chamomile and ginger tea.. it helps me with sea sickness.

Say thanks to John & Julie Walker x
Glad you don't do zoos Mazzy - good lass! :)
Enjoy a Spanish beer 🍻 on us xxxx
You were on a French owned ferry heading to Spain; hence the French staff. Did you get a cabin en route back?
Yes
Go and have a good sleep, hope all goes well,
sorry mazzie wasnt well, but happy to see you have arrived safely, get a good rest and look forward to sharing the rest of your adventures with you
Oh mazzy my grandson wore that sickness band on his arm at elbow xxc
Brittany ferries is a French company
Go ask for your money back dan
It’s a French boat lol
Have a lovely time 👍😃
❤ Brilliant 😊
At the very beginning the gentleman looks to be high. Very interesting to see the ferry and end destination.
He looks off his head 😂
My wife and I did the same crossing in 2005. I was freelancing for MMM magazine and had to cover Spain and it's attractions in two days! We went aboard the same vessel, the Pont Aven. Freelancing worked like this. 1: Test a motorhome, in thuis case a Marqis A Class. 2: Go to wherever and stay at a campsite, then blag my way into whichever sttractions/restaurants/stores that were to be covered. Publishing to 36,000 readers helped - all concerned liked a free ad. 3: get the notes, take th p ictures, write the articlas and get them in on deadline. My wife suffered seasickness in the Bay of Biscay but a combination of Prosecco and Dramamine did the trick as usual. My cast-iron stomach nver rebelled on the water. We had a cabin, which was pleasant. The magazine picked up all the tabs, fuel, insurance, campsites and expenses. However, as freelancing does, it all came to a halt with the 2006 recession. Happy days, retired now.
PO , who we go with, good food,
Have a great time guys
Santander is a great starting point for you Spanish adventure, the skate park was in Pamplona. We recommend you visit Pamplona as it’s a wonderful place for a day or two. Enjoy your trip, we are very jealous lol

Ahoy! There be land... X
Just watching this for the first time.Poor Mazzy,I can sympathise as many years ago I went to Ireland on the ferry.The sea was so rough seriously it was awful with people vomiting everywhere
Went to Spain for the winter before covid and brexit and was so rough on the way to Spain that i spent the whole trip in my cabin lying on my bunk and rolled out of it twice with the rolling of the ship,couldn't stand up, then when covid started in the march we were all told to leave Spain, no ferry so had to book the tunnel and travel up through Spain and France then in uk all the way down to Cornwall, always loved spending the wnters in Spain, 6 months but haven't been since we can only stay for 90 days ,not worth all the expence but will see as time goes on, safe journey.
Hi Dan and Mazzie hope you are both well. Please don’t let those negative posts bring you both down, the people that post them need to look at themselves and their life’s and that I am sure is where the problem lies. These ppl are in all walks of life and I have recently experienced it with dog walkers who walk my dog would you believe, rise above it and keep being yourselves, don’t let the idiots get you both down, sending Mazzie a big hug ❤ x
Hi-amigo!Bravo- well picture.see you later.:)
We did the overnight Plymouth to Santander when the kids were small in the mid ninties, great cabin, smooth sailing very enjoyable.
At that time we rented a gite from Brittany ferries.
Bought a MH this year,2019 Bessacarr so planning for next year.
This reminds me of the Royle Family 🤣
Its him… that face like the son in law.. nuff said n her droning voice like Caroline ahern😂😂😂 Theyre a nice couple though.
Good job
Sorry for you Mazzie as I suffer from motion sickness. I find fresh air is the best but 20hours outside on deck isn't feasible. Just think several weeks enjoying the warm weather with make up for it
Glad you arrived OK! 😁 Mazy next time where you can, look at the Horizon and focus on it! It's a constant it doesnt move, it's the motion sickness really not Seasick as such! Kwells are good tablets to take! I find the rougher the sea the better for me! My first night out on Sea Trials on a Navy Frigate it was Blowing a Force 9 gale all night! Didn't even know! Annoying the fact the other side of the Bulkhead was the Hydraulic Pump for the Steering Gear! Real Noisey! Also being near Midships less movement just like a Seesaw! At times walking up the main Companion way on the ship, one minute looking at the deck next the Deckhead (ceiling)!! So pitching a lot! We've seen all 3 Cunard Ships at Weymouth the other year! 😁
Hi Dan and Mazzy , i Hope Mazzy is feeling Better now , i was Glued to the screen as your video was so so interesting from the start to the end , And the part about the dog in the kennels , And the man with the rucksack on your seat , i wonder how you say shift in spanish LOL , Well Thanks for sharing Take Care Both o and john , X X x
