Euromar I-Ii Peniscola

... before we had some good giggles!

2nd

Kim and I went for a run this morning and left Val with Scooby and all our gear – made for an easier run for me today! Took Kim awhile to warm up but once she did she set a good pace and we managed about 8km. Back at Scooby Val had made friends with council workers that were tidying up the van area and a few of our neighbors.

... paises, visitando más de 30 ciudades y pueblos, conociendo nuevas culturas y saboreando multitud de diferentes comidas. Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable que recomendamos a todo el mundo, el problema es que se ha acabado, pero ya estamos planeando nuestro proximo destino.
Dar las gracias a todos aquellos que nos han seguido durante todo el viaje a traves de nuestro blog. Tambien a la gente con la que nos hemos ...

This town was really in the middle of nowhere. There was a huge windstorm and the town was super dead, except for a bunch of seniors at the bar down by the beach. We hung out there to use their internet and to watch an episode of Frasier in english. Not our most exciting day. We tried to rent mountain bikes at our resort but they had put them away for the winter... it was like 20 degrees out!

... sans poids sur le vélo... j'ai l'impression que je vais m'envoler!!! quel bonheur, cette légèrté!!
Peu de gens parlent francais ou anglais ici, c'est bien je pratique mon espagnol!! Je chinoise un peu, mais j'apprends chaque jour de nouveaux mots! Je me rends compte que dès que je communique un peu avec les gens, je me sens beaucoup mieux. Et quand on se sent bien, on rencontre des gens bien qui nous font du bien!!

tentative de mettre du poids à l'avant de mon vélo... infructueux.. j'ai l'impression qu'avec les suspensions, je dois mettre encore plus d'énergie pour avancer.. me sens trop lourde à porter!! Je réfléchis à la prudence... les gens ont peur de beaucoup de choses et souvent me mettent en garde... mais cela tend à attiser mes peurs... et attirer les mauvaises ondes! c'est le mauvais oeil!!

... dans le marais, je me suis déconnectée de moi-même... Je reprends la route après une bonne douche, il est midi... je traverse la réserve en long et en large, les pistes cyclables se transforment tout à coup en piste de sable, mon vélo est trop chargé, je ne peux pas les emprunter... les moustiques s'en donnent à coeur joie!! je fais demi-tour et trouve une route qui cette fois me permettra de trouver un camping. Mais non, fausse joie ...

Normally you wake up on a beach because of the warm morning sun. Not in Peniscola. Not in Peniscola. I woke up because some absolutely butters spanish chick was shouting at me. Honestly, its just rude. Soon the other guys woke up and were trying to stop the two girls getting on the Jetski. Then they stole one of Ollys biscuits ...

... which was incredibly cheap (glass bottle of wine for 60 cents!). This is shocking I know. More shocking was the man in the supermarket who was holding a 15ft snake. This actually reminds me of another life lesson, don´t make eye contact with mental spanish people. Whilst we were in the shop someone obviously thought Olly was homeless because they gace him two peaches and a Euro. Everybody here thinks we are French ...

... The guide book said this area was known to have the coldest winters in Spain but no problem, we thought, this was the middle of summer. Wrong! It was freezing. To top it off just after we set up we were hit by a storm. You know how sometimes you see a storm building up and you think "I think this might miss us" or "The brunt of it looks to be heading north/south/east/west of us, we should just get the edge of it"? Well this storm was never going to miss us. It just got bigger and ...

... are bright and huge though with a balcony that overlooks tennis courts and the swimming pool. There´s a problem with the shower in my room...we totally flooded the bathroom..haha! Hopefully we´ll get it fixed. We have 4 agency visits planned this week and hopefully none of them will get canceled considering that is why I´m here. But we have other plans of spending time at the beach! We´re ready to relax!
