OUR ROUTE HOME IS CLOSED.. CHANGE OF PLAN!
They have been sitting in the low 20s in Portugal but it's back up to 30 today. They've had a discussion this morning. Lazy can't lie, she's feeling uncertain and worried about things. The plan for the trip has drastically changed due to the restrictions and lockdown.
Sounds like the adventure of a lifetime has turned into an adventure of nightmares. Karma is still going for it. Basically the plan was to explore Marbella for two days because Creepy really wanted to go, go along the south coast of Spain and work their way up to Barcelona. Jace screams because Isla sits on his bike so Lazy tells her not to sit on it. They went to Barcelona last year but they wanted to see more. From Barcelona they wanted to cross the border into Switzerland.
Awesome geography! When they set off, Lazy's 'most excited country I was to visit' was Italy and Switzerland. Italy was crossed off quickly. Last night they had to accept Switzerland was a no go and they would have to do it next year. After a couple of weeks in Switzerland the plan was to go to Disneyland Paris for the start of vlogmas and head home from there. Unfortunately because France is closed that isn't possible and they can't get home through France. The route home is closed so they've at down and had a chat. There's lots more of Spain for them to explore.
Yep and totally ignore the restrictions there too! Spain could follow France and lockdown and if that happened they wouldn't be stuck (they've checked with the ferries that they would be allowed to leave), or do they just go home. There's pros and cons to both. Lazy is excited to get home for Christmas but she thinks the novelty will wear off quickly if the restrictions in the UK are what people keep telling Lazy. They've had a massive amount of messages saying not to come back to the UK because the restrictions are crazy and it's miserable. People have been telling Lazy to stay and make memories. She tells us how she loves not having a plan but right now she feels uneasy. Isabelle interjects and says she's felt so free but lockdown makes it 'gets more scarier'. Lazy doesn't now what's best to do right now.
Maybe listen to us and get home for the sake of your family? Lazy is confident that the decision to do what they've done for the past few months is the best decision but now she doesn't know what's best.
You keep telling yourself that! they're packing up the caravan and Creepy has booked a campsite. They want to be somewhere for Halloween because of the kids.
Esme is upset because they're not going to Disneyland in their campervan. Jace points out dinosaur and caaa toys in a shop. Lazy tells that one of the cars has an 'eh' for Esme. They look at the Hot Wheels caaas. Jace falls over and they're still not making Isla wear a mask. Driving footage.
The Inghams were on the opposite side of the road to their destination so it took them on the scariest hairpin turns route. Creepy has gone to check them in and first impressions is the place is cute. The swimming pools had barrier around but Creepy said it might always be there. It was like fencing but Lazy thinks it's there for covid restrictions. Either way they're not desperate because they've had a pool for 2 months. Lazy has bought a slice of Christmas to the caaa in the form of a cheap version of After Eights.
The Inghams are checked in and the lady said it's quiet so they could drive around and choose any pitch but there's a lot of British families staying until after Christmas. The Inghams have chosen a pitch next to the toilet block and they've been told they can take 2 pitches. They're not getting the awning out because they're not sure how long they will be there for; they've only booked a few days to get them over Halloween. Esme chooses which way to have the caravan. Well Lazy says she does but eventually Lazy decides. In the end though, Esme is right. Creepy is having a paddy because he doesn't want leaves touching the caravan.
There will be no 'I told you so' from Lazy or Creepy because the motor mover ran out so it's stuck diagonal. Cackle. They're chaaaaging it whilst they go to get something to eat.
Lazy point out that you can see the sea. They're off to the restaurant to get lunch.
Creepy was right about the pool and Isabelle says they can add it to the list of thigs Lazy gets wrong. Lazy is right 99% of the time so when he gets something wrong Isabelle writes it down. Lazy has grown into the flavour of olives. She has bought jaaas of them because they're so juicy and delicious. Creepy kisses Jace whilst wearing his filthy mask. Lazy has bought a £1 shark finger puppet.
Dinner is finished and they're researching what to do in the area. Isla has made a friend and they're playing pool. Isabelle wants to go to some place up a mountain and Creepy is looking for wild swimming spots. They've found one that looks like Lac Saint Croix so they might go tomorrow and there's a campsite so Lazy says they could go after Halloween.
Lazy's not going to say it, she's not even going to say she was right. Well no because it was Esme's suggestion. They're going to move the caaa and use up another pitch across the road, setting the gazebo up behind the caravan. They're off to a supermaaaket and a phaaamacy to get Creepy some
pain because he has tonsillitis. He doesn't want us to know because he knows they will get hate and people will think he has covid. He has sores in his mouth and got an antibiotic prescription from his doctor just in case because he get it frequently.
Why doesn't he just get them taken out? Covid hasn't wiped out all other cold and flu viruses. Creepy doesn't have a cough or sore throat, his tonsils are just swollen. Isabelle and Isla have made friends on the beach.
Creepy is hiding behind his mask because he looks disgusting. The beach is just over the road from the campsite. They wanted to catch the last of the light. Creepy understands why people love Marbella, it's because of the mountains and landscape.
Jace is asleep and Lazy wishes she was him. Footage of the beach. Creepy repeats that it's stoonin' and beautiful with the mountains in the distance. Lazy looks through the viewfinder and says it's nothing like what they can see. Creepy can't wait to explore it in daylight.
Lazy, Esme and Isla ran into the supermaaaket to get food in to last them a few days.
Didn't they go shopping two days ago? Lazy noticed that the couple in the caravan opposite the at the old campsite has a ton of drinks (coke/orange/wine/apple/water) so Lazy has done the same tonight. Not with wine but coke/water/apple juice/orange juice/fanta. Lazy took Instagram stories of the beach and got messages telling her not to come back to the UK. Lazy isn't sure what the plan is now but most likely they might come home... she doesn't know what the plan is right now. There's a lot of ifam at the campsite. Lazy tell everyone to go and check out her Instagram stories and comment down below what her Halloween costume was. People have been telling her that she's Isla.
