Flamingo Frigola Lloret de Mar

Day 3, 4<br><br>Day 3 I wasn't traveling at all, I was busy working, However on the forth day I managed to go to a town not far from Barcelona called Lloret de Mar. It is a new town located just near the seashore, with wonderful forests at the same time. There are a lot of hotels there for every type of traveler. <br><br ...

... I do for a blog! Our wifi on the ship is a bit pricey, $.38 a minute with a package deal or $.55 a minute without a package. Since it is a satellite connection it can be slow and sporadic at best so if I don&#8217;t post daily for the next 6 days it&#8217;s because of the weak connection but I will continue to write something every day and post when I can. <br><br>Going to sign out now, here&#8217;s to a safe and fun Atlantic crossing!<br><br>Ciao,<br><br>David

Hey!<br><br>Sorry, it´s been a while, I´ve been really busy! Had a great time in madrid, settled in after a few days and had loads of fun. Learnt lots of spanish as well, and met some great people.Also, I´m 22 now, which makes me old and responsible. Kinda sad to leave madrid, as it was a really great city to live in, but now here I am in Catalonia.<br><br>Granollers is a pretty nice town, lots of shops in a pedestrianised centre. The ...

... to see for ourselves. <br><br><br>Tossa was just as they had described it &#8211; a lovely beach in a large bay with a castle on the peninsula. The weather was lovely as we explored the town and found a restaurant behind the castle wall to have lunch, where Alison got to taste paella at last. She enjoyed the meal &#8211; although she had to admit the paella she had ...

... like waking up in a bus that had driven into the middle of a fairy tale! Besalu is this awesome little town which was designated Spanish national property in 1966. There was a beautiful bridge that was utilized a lot during the middle ages (for a profit of course). When we went over the gorgeous bridge, we visited the church of Sant Pere which was inaugurated in 1003. This place was beautiful! Very much a part of Catalunya, as were all the places we ...

... half - v v v v v v briefly and only to me. I tried to take a photo but only got one of the locals.....oh well<br><br>We then headed back to town to drop off the car...no real dramas other than v heavy traffic.<br><br>We then went on to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral - that was started in late 1800's and only has 25-30 ...

... which goes most of the way around the old town. At the top, I stop at the snack shop for a beer and eat the picnic I had prepared. Very relaxing watching the boats go by. I look at the bridge from afar when I can to see if my bag is still there. I pick it up at the end of the day. No problems. <br><br>Girona is another town with castle walls. I get there late in the day so all sites are closed. The hostel has only been open a few weeks ...

... feel like i am touching the sun. We went back to the campsite bar hoping to further develop our representations. Unfortunately nothing was going on and we soon left. After this we bravely approached a group of girls (of which none of them i was interested in Tiff because you are amazing) on the beach but due to a lack of language skills ...

... and decided that we needed something larger (at no extra charge, at least). The vehicle we ended up with was something like a cross between an SUV and a mini-van. By chance, we noticed that a GPS navigation system was available for rent, so we signed up for one of these as well. It was well worth 7 euros per day for this gadget as we might still be driving around Barcelona looking for the highway without it. The drive to the Costa Brava was ...
