The camp site looks a bit familiar to me,think I stopped there last year after getting off ferry at terifa and heading back up.
It's barking mad that Gibraltar has fuel at a pound a litre?...and here we get fleeced for it...

Day 12 Thursday 31 May 2012.
The route Tanger MED to Genova.
After a not to good sleep in the cabin because of the 3 other Maroccean guys that snoring and argue between them (yes my yellow earplugs do their job once again) the ship was closed to Barcelona port around 07.00 in the morning...
The question and the problem was that the ferry from 07.00 departure in 14.30 why so much hours of hold??
So....
Because the internet was very expensive in the ferry i send a message to home to my wife to tell me what time departs the next ferry that im gona take....Italy to Greece....From Ancona to Igoumenitsa....The answer was "2 depatures one in 13.30 and one in 16.00".....Nice!!(get in your mind those 2 deparures for the next post...
The ferry get to genova in 09.00 so the 16.00 departure to Greece fit better to me after 500+ km that i'm go to do tomorrow...
I was boring all this hours on the ferry so i go to my cabin!
I have a book with me so the time run quickly...
The night comes i drink my 2 s and prepare my earplugs for another night with my Maroccean friends!!

Day 15 Sunday 3 June 2012.
The route Igoumenitsa port to Polygyros.
The known route, for the Greek people, Igoumenitsa to Polygyros...
I made a stop in the Metsovo village (you see some photos in the first post of the trip) to buy some good traditional cheeses....
And with the speed of 100km/h continue my trip.....Is like i don't want to go back home....
In finally i like the solo trip....There is something mysterious, and crossing a lot, through your mind when you are alone...
Start searching for the next trip hope to be more adventurus....
Sorry for my mistakes in english language....
Thank you all for reading my ride report....
Zandesiro…
Failed attempt to get my face near to the sign of Pyrennes!! Ha,ha,ha!!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
