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.<br>We hope you will enjoy, the nature, landscape and monuments from the Alt Empordà - Girona - Spain.<br><br>Come and discover them!<br><br>

Geez, hes so forward thinking....<br><br>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!)....<br>

... or stamp our passports, which was sad. The little town we visited in the south of France was also basically perfect. Sun, sea, beautiful little church, good lunch. Words really aren't enough to describe this different kind of reality I encountered on this trip. See pictures below-it was wonderful. And the few French people I met (the waitress....) did not seem to hate me, which is always nice. <br><br>Girona was our home base for this weekend, and ...

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

... for the forestry commission and was just doing his rounds of the forrest. Oh well, bit of excitement for the day, just glad I didn't call the Gendarmarie!<br><br>Oh well, onwards and upwards, literally.<br><br>Today is day 47 of the trek and there are 50 in total. I haven't had a rest day as yet and am feeling strong and fit enough to keep going. Hope to enjoy a few days on the beach before flying back on the 16th.<br><br>Love and light<br>Amanda<br>

... the lights of electricity wind mills up the French hills...<br><br>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 ...

I take a bus to Tossa de Mar, a small beach resort on the way to France. It is along the Costa Brava where the hills meet the coast making for some dramatic landscape. My thought was to use a luggage check, explore the town. I have a reservation for a hostel in Girona for the evening so I have to catch the 5:00 bus. Well, apparently much of Western Europe lacks baggage lockers. I go to a hotel and they refuse to take it for the day (even for ...

... easy ascent. We then coasted down the mountain into spain were we purchased some cheap Spanish stuff.<br><br>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<br><br>Pretty standard day really. <br><br>Highlights: <br>Saw a homeless man strip off and shower in a busy town centre using a fountain.<br>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. <br>Alex licked his arm and described the taste as bacon. <br><br>**** bits:<br>Had to cycle for ages, as usual.<br>

Girona, Spain. This is a nice little small town. I didn't really see much of it at all though. I hear there's a castle and some cathedrals and some museums and stuff too. We spent this day In Figeruas in the Dali Museum. There is a shopping mall though, saw a movie and got dinner there, it was pretty good.
