Wednesday 4th September The Bay of Biscay

We woke up bright and early once again to brilliant sunshine and not a cloud to be seen. Looking out of our cabin window it was difficult to believe that this was the Bay of Biscay. Certainly it was just about the calmest sea I have ever seen and I doubt it is like this very often.


We were lucky to see a pod of Dolphins approaching from the starboard side and later a whale was spotted by many enthusiasts off the port side and I just about saw it surface and given a slightly better sighting I would have been able to inform you whether it was a Minke or Blue whale!

Food was good on the ferry and we found that the small self service restaurant at the bow of the ship was fine for breakfast and lunch with plenty of seating and no queues .

Now only about two hours to Santander and once on terra firma we drive the short distance to Santillana del Mar where we are staying for two nights.
