After spending the afternoon wandering Poole looking for a non-chemist shop line of shampoo for someone special we eventually find our way back to the Hymer and start thinking about a stop for the night. Our data-base suggests a couple of places, the closest to the ferry being in a football field car-park about 3 kms from the ferry terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we wander out and find ourselves a spot with an escape route and settle in. It\u2019s not the most salubrious place but it\u2018s free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an early start next morning as we need to be checked in at the ferry terminal before 8am for a 9am departure. Loading ferries is somewhat time consuming for motorhomes. Due to height and length we normally find we are last to load, there are only a few motorhomes but lots of small campers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sea is calm just how Pam likes it. Reading the blurb on the Condor Liberation, the vessel was built in WA, carries 800+ passengers and 250 vehicles with a maximum cruise of 40 knots. It really hoots along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do a quick stop in Guernsey, where about 3-400 people and a few cars disembark and where off again for Jersey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Only a few minutes after docking in Jersey, we are waved off the ferry and into the afternoon traffic of Saint Helier. Until a couple of weeks ago you needed to apply for a permit to bring a vehicle to Jersey, but that restriction was dropped. The last thing they need here is more cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hideaway our RV stop is only a few miles around the bay, true to its name it was a little difficult to find as our GPS insisted we should turn left off a cliff. Coming back down the hill it\u2019s easier to spot and we have soon settled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More on Jersey as we explore it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
