... the old town. The highlight of the day though was the 8Euro lunch – menu of the day. For this we got a Catalan soup which had noodles, beans, cabbage, dumplings, chicken and a few other veg. Then main course was spare ribs with sautéed onions and tomatoes, then dessert was Catalan crème, all washed down with a jug of wine ...

... all the tables reserved. We found one 2 hrs before the game and decided to stay until the game was over so as not to lose our spot. It was a great game with the local favorites Baca winning 1-0. Of course over the 3-4 hrs in the bar we consumed quite a few beers and tapas. After the game the surf caught up with me and it was time for bed. Kim and Val on the other hand were all set to party and stayed out until 2am in a funky bar (it was weird in Val’s words).

... je roule dans ce décor sompteux... la lumière du coucher du soleil, les oiseaux qui volent au raz du marais, la mer comme décor de fond, les hérons qui s'envolent à mon passage... comme un petit goût de paradis ici... mais j'en oublie l'heure et lorsque j'arrive au bord de mer et qu'il n'y a plus de chemin pour continuer, la nuit tombe tout à coup... je me perds alors que j'essaie de trouver la ...

... 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 ...

... hier Kloester gebaut wurden.

Aber auch der Strand hat jeden Tag seinen Reiz, wie früher immer noch mit Mittagessen aus der Kuehltasche, belegte Brote, Oliven, Wein.....wunderbar. Es gibt immer noch Tausende von Fische an der Cala Crancs, diesmal mit der UW-Kamera festgehalten, und eine kleine Sensation: auf den Klippen ein Leguan mit über einem Meter Länge. Wir spielen Scrabble wie in alten Zeiten, lesen, schwimmen und geniessen die Sonne, unter dem ...

...nach dem Ärger und der Niedergeschlagenheit über den Diebstahl: Ersatz Mastercard innerhalb von 24 h aus USA erhalten (hat allerdings ca. 40 min Gespräch mit Mastercard USA und Deutschland gekostet); neues, billiges Telefon für Karin erstanden, mit spanischer Bedienungsanleitung; zwei neue Brillen für Karin...Grundausstattung ist wieder da und der Urlaub beginnt nochmal.

Über ein Tauchernetzwerk hatte ich Kontakt zu einem in Tarragona lebenden ...

... and saftey is quite similar to Spanish law on the beaches. . . none existant. Nonetheless we were at least heading in the right direction.

We then when to a supermarket and bought 20 cups of jelly for under 5 euros because olly quite arrogantly said he wouldnt have enough money to have a jelly eating competition. He was sick after 15. Losing the bet he had to pay for it, thats a bad ...

... and it almost made Alex sick (see picture on Facebook).

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.

... way to the beach! So last night I went with Doris and Lluis and the children to their friends flat- it was really lovely and the view was spectacular- you could see another small town from the back yard. Altafulla is more or less on a giant hill that slopes down to the beach- we were on the to back side of it. We ate dinner- tons and tons of sandwiches that Lluis had ordered and brought- they were on very small croissants and other pastry's- but was a little ...

Up very early to get to the train by 8.00am, rather tricky for Stewart. When I thought we had sorted out this hostel booking/travel thing I was hugely mistaken. It took a while to find the Hostel that we had booked over the internet. There were no signs and we were basically locked out. The Hostel 42 Rambla, is rather dodgy, very central though. The bunk beds are broken, the paid for breakfast is non ...
