Emporda Figueras

... we join him on his boat for dinner that evening so he could try his hand at a Ratatouille recipe that a friend had taught him. We took him up on this offer and said we would be back at 6pm with the wine.

The hike up to the fort on the hill wound up country tracks through grape vines… They make wine here and I don't think I have ever seen vineyards so close to the sea. We had definitely moved into a different region as the earth ...

... Alison bought a small leather change purse for €2 to replace her stolen wallet. Then it was back to enjoy the pool at the timeshare. We spent a very relaxing day enjoying each others company, sunbathing in the heat of the day, before heading back to Girona airport with Chris & Milly at night, so that they could catch their flight back to London. Our farewells weren’t too teary, as we knew we would see them again in two weeks, in Auckland.

... with the amazing view of the swimming pool only a few metres from the French doors of the unit with the sea only a little way beyond that. Stunning!

We decided to reorganize our luggage and pack only enough for the night away and leave the remainder in the room so there would be more room for Chris & Milly’s bags in the car. Things couldn’t have worked out better! It looked like our stay in L’Escala would be a real relaxing break.

... woo! im (nic) finding the being rather stinky and dirty side of things a bit tough, it was only yesterday that we did our first proper wash of our clothes eeewwe! tan lines coming a long nicely.

Hi everybody! My name is Anna and I was born and I live in Sant Pere Pescador.
Since 2 years, my husband and I, are running one Bed and Breakfast called Mas del Joncar.
We love to travel and when we go abroad we like to discover the culture and costums from every place we visit.
Our area has a lot of interesting places to be ...

... realised in the morning....

Figueres is a birthplace of Salvador Dalí. There's a Theatre Museum, dedicated to him (and his wife). It's great. I loved the museum itself, especially the moving instalations and presentation of Mae West. I'm not a jewelry fan, but gaving one or two of Dalí's pieces wouldn't hurt...

Let the pictures talk....

... well-meaning Spaniards emerged. "It is not allowed to catch cars on the autopista." "Well, I was just dropped off here, I didn't choose this spot myself. What should I do?" "You have to hop over this guard rail and walk to the nearest town." "How far is that?" "5km." I showed them my pack. I asked them to give me a ride. "We can't give you a ride, you have to walk. To the train station, then you can take a train." I'm not even sure where I am, but the ...

... a rush. It's full of sculptures made specially for the place and a lot of his art work. His oil painting are what most people recognise, but he also experimented with many styles of art. Oh, and it's nice to be in a country with a good train system.

... montages, collages, frescos, painted furniture, sculpture, i mean you name it, he did it. I spent about 3 hours looking at over 1000 pieces, and still felt like I only understood a sliver of his art. But I had to move on because I took a reservation in beach town Lloret del Mar on the Costa Brava north of Barcelona. Dalí has changed the way I see art and the world though. I hope you enjoy some of these pics and encourage you to delve deeper into Dalí's crazy and twisted world!

... Alxem jsme mysleli ,ze je nedaleka.Uf kdyz uz jsme tam docapkali,tak tam kluky nepustili ,protoze nemeli kosili a kalhoty.
