happy travels-
sorry if I got 'grumpy' but dirtyness and expensive tickets get my goat. There are no excuses for not keeping stuff clean no matter how wrecked it is.
If I had to use them again, I'd take some wet ones and some nosh with me and stay out on desk as much as possible- a cushion would be good like my airhawk

I've just been to the travel agents to pay off some of my ticket for December & at the same time asked them how much for PanderingPeter & his pushbike.

Answer over the phone to their agents 129euros BUT when my travel agent squealed at them that she also remembers paying either 45 or 60 last year for a friend of mine with a pushbike (he didn't pay for the bike) they said isn't there a car going too???

Our conclusion was that you find a vehicle, take some rope & ask any kind Moroccan/French on the same boat to strap it onto their vehicle, pay them something & get yourself a seat only! It seems that the value of putting a bike in the corner of the hold is worth the same as the seat you will sit in on Comanav!

I've just sent this to PP by PM, but thought it might be of use to others!

I came over last week sete - nador. Booking at the port, it cost 250 euro for me, bike & economy cabin but I got free cabin upgrade. The ship had been replaced with a bigger one for that trip and, when a storm hit Nador, the ship couldn't dock. We were at sea for a total of 63 hours but I think the crew did pretty well in the circumstancew. I'll have my blog updated with all the details this evening (sorry, haven't got HU link on it yet I'm a bit new to all this travelling business).

Hi,
we are going to take the Comanav Sete-Nador on 28.oct. I have booked via Euromer, most of the process done by emailing, but finally they have called me for the credit card number, and mailed me the ticket a few minutes after.
All in all, it was EUR625 (2 adults 2 children in an A4 cabin and a 4x4), a bit more than last year.
Until now, we have always used Comarit (absolutely satisfied), now we want to see something new in Maroc so the choice of Nador as starting point.
Peter
