Sanguli Salou

inspiriert von Johannes´ und Judiths neuen schönen Weltreise-Berichten, auf die wir uns immer wieder freuen, gibt es jetzt mal wieder etwas aus dem guten alten Europa, von Kloestern und Staedten, die schon Hochkultur hatten, als in Australien noch alles wild und unberührt war.

Relativ spät im Urlaub hatten wir mal wieder einen Ausflug ins Kloster Santes Creus gemacht, in die Berge, deren erhabene Ruhe immer wieder beeindruckt und man sofort versteht ...

... bekommen, namens Uwe, der sich als ca. 120 kg schwerer, arbeitsloser Lastwagenfahrer entpuppte, mit Riesen-Spinnentattou auf dem mächtigen Oberarm, den entsprechenden Sprüchen, also das volle Programm,....aber immerhin Dive-Master. Mit dem war ich Tauchen im Parc Subaquatic in Tarragona, dem einzigen, eingermaßen passablen Tauchgebiet hier in der Gegend, und habe tatsächlich mit ihm als kompetentem Guide mein erstes Schiffswrack betaucht, die ...

Waking up by rolling a few meters on the sand into the sea is fun (not as fun as shirt ball though). After leaving town we realised there was road works on the road we needed to be on. It was begining to seem like there would have to be a massive detour but by skillfully pointing at my bike and the road many times until the workers let us go down it; despite massive diggers swinging about. Spanish ...

... and it almost made Alex sick (see picture on Facebook).

Then we cycled another 30 miles down the coast where we fell asleep on another beach. It really sounds cool waking up on beaches alot but you normally wake up about 10 times in the night with ants all over your face or a massive tractor a few meters from your head. Fact: beaches are cool in the day and for the begining of the night but they are rarely cool to sleep on at night.

... para el minisafari. Esta vez en autobús y con mayores medidas de seguridad, ya que estabamos rodeados de leones, tigres, osos...

Con tanta emoción hemos acabado muertos. Así que hemos venido a casa y una peli. Hemos cenado con horario francés y a dar una vuelta visitando los puestos que adornan el malecón.

Ondo lo in!

Y por fin llegó el día esperado, empiezan nuestras vacaciones!

Después de unas horas de viaje hemos llegado a nuestro destino, el Vendrell, pueblo costero situado en la provincia de tarragona.

El viaje comenzó a las 15:30 de la tarde después de un día duro de trabajo. Ibane Schumacher me esperaba con su escabajo rojo a la salida del trabajo, y una vez puesto en marcha el GPS hemos partido hacia Catalunya. El famoso iphone de Ibane nos ha hecho ...

... As the park is divided into different lands, make sure you note down the times of the shows you wish to see and get to that theatre 10 minutes before the show begins.





Barcelona
Af ter a few days of lazing on the beach and screaming on rollercoasters, we decided to feed on the cultural feast Barcelona had to ...

This place deserves an entry all of its own, and I know, as I start to write this, I'm really not going to have the words to convey the depth of this little piece of earth......

A little history lesson to set the scene .. Tarragona was first occupied by the Romans in 218BC (and we know how brillant and thorough they were, hence there buildings are still around!). It was ruled by Augustus, and in 27BC he made ...

... From what i ca understand I have a huge Sinus infection!! So they said I could only take the three Ibuprofen a day- WHAT they don't even last over 2 hours! HOW am I going to live!!! SO I took one at 4 because i was dying and at 7 Doris came in my room saw me shaking with my hoody back on and just my face peaking out form the blankets!! So she looks at me rips off the cover unzips my hoody and shoves the thermometer under my arm ...

... street to get in, hoping it wouldn't be so crowded. No luck there either, started back the way we came and the game was over. Barcelona won, which was a good thing, but these people, these people celebrate like nothing I've ever seen. Within a minute the street was packed with a crazy mob of intoxicated fans. True hard core riots, like you see only on the news. Fireworks of all sorts and sized, waving flags, chanting, drinking, pipe bombs, oh yea did I ...
