Hotel Astoria Park 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 ...

... in the next 6 nights and days, our next port will be Nassau, Bahamas. <br><br>The seas have been really smooth, a nice gentle rocking motion, perfect for sleeping. We are expecting more of the same for our crossing and with a southern facing balcony we should have a nice warm place to get some sun as well. <br><br>I wanted to get this posted today on my blog since I am getting free wifi, well actually as long as I continue to buy beers it&#8217;s free; the ...

... I can improve! It´s weird starting from a really low base again, the same as with my spanish in Madrid. Time´s going quickly now, and I can´t believe my first week´s over already. <br><br>At the weekend I might go into Barcelona with some other trainees or maybe go swimming as there´s a pool in granollers. Got my first assignment to do as well, seems a bit tricky but I think I´ll be able to handle it. Anyway, I hope you´re all doing well!

... 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 ...

Es la playa principal de Tossa de Mar, <br>medirá aproximadamente 200 metros de extencion y de la calle al mar <br>habrá unos 100 metros.<br>Esta muy bueno acá, hay sol pero no molesta, hace calor pero no <br>agobiante.<br>la parte urbana es pequeña pero muy linda, con callejuelas y todo muy <br>cerca!<br>desp escribo desde la muralla!

... to be of that mindset, if I'm even allowed to have an opinion being an American) Anyway that's the very brief history of Catalunya as a part of Spain and France. Catalan is spoken and written everywhere here (and every place we visited this weekend). It's a beautiful language, a mixture of spanish and french, but it's own unique entity as well. I wish I could understand it-that would make maneuvering Barcelona a lot smoother. <br>Anyway Besalu was ...

Last day with our C8 MPV and so Sue plotted out a day on the Costa Brava coast. Her research was spot on and we ended up for breakfast at Tossa de Mar (albeit at 10am). Gorgeous beach and easy parking just beating the rush. By the time we left (after a long swim) beach was packed. Sandy even did as the locals and bared her ...

... tip). I walk to the beach, use a flight bag to cover it, lock it and use a special steel cord that I have to attach it to a parking chain, just below a bridge. Anyone with a sharp knife and intent could steal it. But, it is so large that it would be very obvious. I change clothes at the beach and spend the day walking around. <br><br>The highlight is a 12th-century walled town along the hill and the coastline. I walk along the top of the ...

Sleeping on the sand fully clothed was a new one for us and were forced to wake up by the sun rise. As the sun got higher in the sky we seemed to get more and more lazy until we just decided to stay another night. I´m 22 and still havent managed to learn the sun tan lotion lesson. As a result I now look like the inside of a water melon ...

... Luckily I was already in my swimsuit... That night I went out to a discoteca. A guy on the street invited me, saying that it was free with great women. Ha! I knew it wouldn't be free, but I went anyways to see what was going on. There was a &euro;10 cover for one drink. Downstairs was the bar and the dance floor, but it was missing the people. And mind you I went at 11pm (because I was drinking Sangria in hotel room while ...
