... we join him on his boat for dinner that evening so he could try his hand at a Ratatouille recipe that a friend had taught him. We took him up on this offer and said we would be back at 6pm with the wine.

The hike up to the fort on the hill wound up country tracks through grape vines… They make wine here and I don't think I have ever seen vineyards so close to the sea. We had definitely moved into a different region as the earth ...

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 ...

... and also you can do a lot of activities. So we thought that we could speak about our surroundings that we know very well and perhaps that can help the people who wants to visit our region.
We hope you will enjoy, the nature, landscape and monuments from the Alt Empordŕ - Girona - Spain.

I had a great time in france


We went to france this year and it was a great excitement.

... caught the train in Avignon and headed to Figureres, Spain and the Salvador Dali Museum and Theatre. The town is sweet, the museum incredible. One of the most inspired museums I´ve experienced. (The down side of all the museums is the number of overwhelming number of tourists --and most with cameras. No space to sit or even stand quietly and contemplate the art. It is a real problem, but not sure how it ...

... Castelló d'Empuries. The village was so quiet, we assumed everyone in it must have been having a siesta. We wandered the street of the sleepy town and finally came across a pub with a bit of action. After a couple of claras (beer and lemon soda), we walked some more and found some historic buildings and a park with shade. Once back in Roses, we had our own siesta then took a long walk along the beach boardwalk. We worked up an appetite and had ...

... s food (no wonder Daisy is so slow up hills!) worked it's way loose and almost came swinging through the rear window! Then sometime during our day in Barcelona we lost a credit card and had to spend the next morning contacting the bank to get it stopped and reporting it to the local police in Sitges. BUT, worst of all, our mountain bikes were nicked off the back of the campervan yesterday while we were parked up in ...

... be very careful. Okay, so this starting to sound a little scary, and I was glad that we were going to go for a practice run. As we set out for the trip, the windy road was windier and narrower than expected. Really really really narrow.

As our hotel concierge said, there was no protective railing, so any missed turn ...
