Hotel Catalunya Express Tarragona

... tomber bientôt, mais j'aimerais faire encore quelques kilomètres aujourd'hui... je réfléchis... quand tout à coup, apparaîssent deux voyageurs sac au dos qui m'approchent et me demandent d'où je viens.. "Switzerland"... AAahh et voilà qu'ils me parlent en swizertütsch! Ce sont deux argoviens qui ont beaucoup voyagés en vélo (ils ont fait Suisse-Singapour ...

... natuerlich.<br><br>Gutes Essen, z.B. im Palau del Baro in Tarragona wird durch maxxF auf dem Balkon oder in der Wohnung verdient, schon dreimal komplett durchgefuehrt, auch durch Klimmzüge (inzwischen 10) am Strand an den Gestaengen der Sonnendaecher, allerdings nur abseits von Karin......<br><br>Inzwischen habe ich auch hier schon drei Tauchgänge im Parc Subaquatic gemacht, der letzte bei Sichtweite unter 3m, wobei wir die Orientierung verloren hatten ...

... and it almost made Alex sick (see picture on Facebook).<br><br>Then we cycled another 30 miles down the coast where we fell asleep on another beach. It really sounds cool waking up on beaches alot but you normally wake up about 10 times in the night with ants all over your face or a massive tractor a few meters from your head. Fact: beaches are cool in the day and for the begining of the night but they are rarely cool to sleep on at night.

... so, good, but so crowded and a long wait) when we discovered an Organic food stall. A nice range of cooked dishes including ample vegetarian options. We decided to try this instead. The adventure turned out to be the meal highlight of the day as the portions were so generous it became lunch. So we had lunch standing out in the sun and watching people produce-shop. Jen and Andrew had stuffed roasted bell peppers topped with goat´s cheese, and I had a ...

... toured some apartments that Louis is building right now. After wards we headed down to the port and ate lunch at a local seafood restaurant. The food was great we ordered local seafood which included a Spanish rice and lobster gumbo, black rice made with squid ink, and some type of noodles. After lunch we were exhausted and went to Louis´ house and hung out a little while until we all fell asleep for siesta. When we finally woke up we went back to the old part of town and had some ...

After less than a day of recovery from our weekend, Kathryn Scott and I rented a car and drove to Barcelona. It's a full 7 hour drive if you only stop once. We stopped 5 times. We left at 11:30 that morning and finally reached our hotel a little before 9 that night, just in time for dinner. Consulting my lonely planet guide I directed us to the "oldest restaurant in Barcelona." Can Cullerentes. Since I don't have the exact date in front of me I don't want to speculate, but we're ...

... such a fantastic experience. thank you!! Next day we took an hour train and then a funicular up to Monestir de Montserrat, a beautiful Benedictine Monastery sitting on the side of a 1236m high mountain. It was founded in 1025 after a statue of the Virgin Mary was found there - pilgrims now come from near and far to visit the monastery and the exact site where the statue was found. We spent the whole day here walking through the mountains and learning about the ...

Well my time in Barcelona is coming near an end :(. I fly tomorrow to London. I´ve met some great people its been fun. Hung out with Kristina and Karyn yesterday. We went to the beach and then we went to another Park and walked around. Also we wondered about and saw ...

The southern Spanish coast has been divided into a number Costas that all have nice sounding names. I presume this is a sign of clever marketing. Having left Barcelona we decided to get to the nearest reasonable costal place and have a rest. Our map showed a host of campsites on the stretch ...
