Maria, Maria, Maria! The Best Guide in Girona!
... in a Zorb Ball and thne testing their luck in the 'rotating' Sprite bottle, we headed out for a nice stroll on the Passeig de Muralla.

Very relaxing ...
Barcelona to Calogne
... we could get it cheaper else where, we haven't found any yet! Yesterday was mostly driving along motorways to start (there are an insane amount of toll booths) and then along the costal mountains. We had one hiccup with our first toll booth experience. We followed a van to what appeared to be the only lane that would accept vehicles like ours only to get there and see you have to have a prepaid ...
