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.

Castellon, nuestro ultimo destino. Pequeña ciudad del mediterraneo con montaña, mar y buena comida, encontrando encantadores pueblos en su interior, al igual que numerosas playas de fina arena por toda la costa. Sin olvidarnos de las Islas Columbretes, isla volcanica hoy en dia Paraje Nautural, hacen de esta provincia un pequeño paraiso en el mundo.
Despues de 59 dias de viaje, hemos recorrido 4 continentes, pasando por ...

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!!

... de camping, le suivant est fermé... je sens les angoisses qui reviennent, de me retrouver dans la même situation que le jour d'avant. Je fais une pause, il est 18h, me recentre... décidément, c'est le chemin vers soi-même qui est le plus difficile, pas celui qu'on emprunte avec sa bicyclette!!! Finalement, je trouve un camping, me baigne dans la mer et me cuisine des pâtes!! La sérénité commence à revenir... Je lâche prise petit à petit.

... was followed by a breakfast of warm UHT milk, cheap cornflakes, sand, and salt eaten in a metal tin. Umm. Well lets go to the police station and leave Peniscola for ever.

We found a nice little spot on a farmers field about 20 miles away, no more beaches, no more robberys, no more cola, and certainly, no more penis.

... was littered on the sand he was approached by a small spanish young man who was licking his lips and rubbing his groin suggestively. That is not what you need when you have just been robbed. Alex politely refused the gentlemans offer. After he was rejected by me aswel he carried on walking down the beach. We met some cool French dudes who worked at a Jet ski hut on the beach and we slept there for the rest of the night.

... further. These beaches have a much higher ecological value when compared to other Mediterranean coastlines. Alcossebre has a long and important history within the Maestrazgo region. Alcossebre and Las Fuentes are sheltered by a 312 metre high mountain called "San Benet" if you drive up there you willl have a fantastic panoramic view of the coast and inland areas. On a clear day you will be able to see the Columbretes Islands, San Antonio in Alicante.

... the sea, spill ice cream and drink pop all day and the steaks and wine are dirt cheap". For an old couple it translates to "down south where the sun shines, great food and wine, lets spends the Norwegian winter here in this heavenly peaceful Sudoko solving hotspot". Everyone does however agree that there needs to be plenty of sun and sea. Otherwise it is not Syden. Everyone in Norway also knows where Syden is located. But ...
