The Bad News
P&O have announced today that the Portsmouth to Bilbao Ferry service will cease 27th September 2010 due to unsustainable losses. If you have never done the trip with a chance to see some Dolphins & Whales as well as a few hours enjoying the hills above Santander you better get booking. (look at blog entry for August 15th 2009 & August 11th 2008 ) I aim to be on a couple in August. There web site was struggling to cope with the heavy traffic tonight.
