La Perla Hotel Olot

Hi everybody! My name is Anna and I was born and I live in Sant Pere Pescador.
Since 2 years, my husband and I, are running one Bed and Breakfast called Mas del Joncar.
We love to travel and when we go abroad we like to discover the culture and costums from every place we visit.
Our area has a lot of interesting places to be ...

... bottle here, i am referring to a 1.5 liter plastic bottle), and 2 bottles of red. Plus a real bottle of champagne for good measure. Geez, hes so forward thinking....

right, he's back from the shopping now, so time to go, talk more at the next time we have internet (btw, never spent so much time at McDonald's in my life, but they seem to be the only guarenteed place to get wifi in France, go figure!)....

... like waking up in a bus that had driven into the middle of a fairy tale! Besalu is this awesome little town which was designated Spanish national property in 1966. There was a beautiful bridge that was utilized a lot during the middle ages (for a profit of course). When we went over the gorgeous bridge, we visited the church of Sant Pere which was inaugurated in 1003. This place was beautiful! Very much a part of Catalunya, as were all the places we ...

... for a deserved rest before dropping down and back up the Col de
Soulor (1464m), which you will honestly hardly notice! The swoopy descent to Argeles-Gazost
is great and the pretty town provides a good opportunity to stop for some lunch. Unfortunately
from here we meet out first busy road which takes us up the gorge to Luz ...

... to use it. It's been so relaxing just to arrive at the Gite or Refuge and just take a bed for the night. At around 10 euros it's hardly worth unpacking the tent. I have continued to cook for myself all but one evening to keep the cost down. The French don't really understand the concept of not eating meat, so if I were to take the evening meal in the gites/refuges then it's guaranteed to be a cheese omlette everytime. Whereas tuna pasta hits ...

... the lights of electricity wind mills up the French hills...

It was 1 in the morning when we tried to find a parking in Figueres... We drove our RV up the narrow steep streets of Figueres until we decided to go to a resting place outside the city. On our way we stopped at the petrol station and spent the night there. We were not the only ones as ...

... which goes most of the way around the old town. At the top, I stop at the snack shop for a beer and eat the picnic I had prepared. Very relaxing watching the boats go by. I look at the bridge from afar when I can to see if my bag is still there. I pick it up at the end of the day. No problems.

Girona is another town with castle walls. I get there late in the day so all sites are closed. The hostel has only been open a few weeks ...

... easy ascent. We then coasted down the mountain into spain were we purchased some cheap Spanish stuff.

Alex went for a two in the woods and stung his backside. Then to make things worse, after we set up camp, we suddenly heard a booming sound. We had set up camp next to a runway by accident. Fools.

Distance; 67.6

Pretty standard day really.

Highlights:
Saw a homeless man strip off and shower in a busy town centre using a fountain.
A fat spanish guy tried to sell us a bit of paper for 20 Euros. He was riding a scooter that had been fixed with parcel tape.
Alex licked his arm and described the taste as bacon.

**** bits:
Had to cycle for ages, as usual.

... prince, the little prince´s laughter. The little prince realizes he loves a flower on his home planet. He has to leave the fox and narrator behind to return home. It only makes sense to live for the beauty he loves. The fox and narrator are sad. But, at least, the fox can think fondly of the little prince´s blond hair when he sees the wheat fields sway in the breeze. And the young narrator can hear the little prince´s laughter when he ...
