i often read posts regarding ferry or driving to Spain, whilst working as a driver i always looked at long ferry crossings as a waste of my time, but being paid was a sweetner, most drivers will remember the rail tunnel with distaste, quick yes, easy yes, but having to squeeze into a mini bus with the other drivers was an experience you would not want to repeat, the smell of some of them was unbelievable, and once at the other end back into yet another bus with the same people, no wonder they don't serve food anymore. driving for me every time, but some times the wife over rules me and its book reading time, and i suppose seeing the dolphins helps,
