Hotel Sa Riera Begur

Day 3, 4

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.

... at Roses looked much better with a lot more seafood included.

After lunch we set off up to the castle, inside its walls are numerous little houses which are still inhabited, although the satellite dishes were rather incongruous! After all this exercise it was time for a cocktail followed by a spot of shopping before eventually heading back to L’Escala.

When we returned to L'Escala after a day in Barcelona, we went in search of a restaurant for dinner (it was only 10.30 after all and diners were just arriving). Although L’Escala has a lot of shops, many only open during the high season – however there seemed to be quite a few restaurants so we headed to one on the waterfront where we had pizzas (Milly’s was an interesting seafood combination including mussels still in their shells ...

The timeshare (Port de Rei) is situated a short distance out of the town of L'Escala. We drove through town following Dora’s directions, but were not too sure where we were headed, eventually ending up outside a large building built on a rugged coast overlooking the Mediterranean. Our plan was to inform the manager of our late arrival (on the next day) and then head towards Girona where we were to pick up Chris & Milly who were joining us for the ...

... we will manage to upload pics soon - I want you guys to see the beautiful sites we have been too as well as the fun stuff we have photographed... however sometimes having others take pics of us has been an adventure in itself... hand gestures asking to turn the camera around - failed, and alot of people always seem to cut out the important details of monuments.... I guess the locals are sick and tired of people asking them to take pics...

peace out!!!

escribo esto tirado en las playas catalanes. A la derecha, la muralla.
A la izquierda, la Minerva. Es la playa principal de Tossa de Mar,
medirá aproximadamente 200 metros de extencion y de la calle al mar
habrá unos 100 metros.
Esta muy bueno acá, hay sol pero no molesta, hace calor pero no
agobiante.
la parte urbana es pequeña pero muy linda, con callejuelas y todo muy
cerca!
desp escribo desde la muralla!

... ever be rectified because it seems past the point of no return. Maybe someday, it will be like smoking--banned). Then to Cadaques and now I´m enjoying the tender beauty and inspiration of this sweet place. I visited the Dali House, where he lived off and on for 50 years with his wife and muse, Gala. What a story...what a house and setting. He was truly inspired and I was inspired by being there. He ADORED Gala ...

... Baeleric sunshine. It was pretty much perfect. Our hotel (and my bed there) was amazing!

The next morning we went to La Jonquera and visited a museum dedicated to the exiles of the Spanish Civil War. It was very interesting, but everything was only in Catalan, which made for a limited educational experience. Then we got back on the bus, and before I knew it there were signs flashing by that said France!! (minus the exclamation marks) They didn't ...

Allí, embarcando nuestro próximo tren conocí a un brasilero, Fernando, y a otros 3 argentinos que iban a París. Tren que partió a las 20:45 y que no tenía grandes comodidades e iba bastante repleto. Al día siguiente a la mañana estaríamos llegando a la Gare d'Austerlitz en la Ciudad Luz.
