Complejo Novelty Salou

The wind howled and rocked Scooby all last night. We all thought we were going to be blown away! Caught the bus into Tarragona, which the LP sells as an eternally sunny port with lots of interesting Roman sites. Well being a Monday all of the sites were closed but we did manage to view the amphitheatre from the road and wander ...

The plan was to go to a little village on the outskirts of Tarragona - Altafulla but it didn't really tickle our fancy and nothing open so went a bit further south to Cambrills. On arrival I noticed that there were some waves off the beach which were probably surfable. As we drove further along the beach the waves got bigger and then I saw a few guys out there surfing. Excellent!!! I pulled over and said I was going in and the girls would have to occupy themselves ...

... magnifique! Des oliviers partout, partout, et parfois une petite maison... les gens sont très isolés ici même si la ville n'est pas si loin. Je demande mon chemin à un vieux monsieur qui m'offre gentiment de l'eau, des noix et... qui m'accompagne un bout sur les chemins pour me montrer quelle direction prendre pour ne pas me tromper. J'arrive dans les marais du Delta de l'Ebre en fin de journée ...

... 8 mois!). Eux vont dormir sur la plage pas loin et ils me proposent d'aller avec eux. Nous faisons quelques courses pour le souper (et oui, on cuisine aussi sur les plages) et passons une agréable soirée au bord de l'eau avec la lune qui brille au dessus de nous. Je suis bien entourée pour mon premier camping sur la plage, me sens plus qu'en sécurité!!

inspiriert von Johannes´ und Judiths neuen schönen Weltreise-Berichten, auf die wir uns immer wieder freuen, gibt es jetzt mal wieder etwas aus dem guten alten Europa, von Kloestern und Staedten, die schon Hochkultur hatten, als in Australien noch alles wild und unberührt war.

Relativ spät im Urlaub hatten wir mal wieder einen Ausflug ins Kloster Santes Creus gemacht, in die Berge, deren erhabene Ruhe immer wieder beeindruckt und man sofort versteht ...

... bekommen, namens Uwe, der sich als ca. 120 kg schwerer, arbeitsloser Lastwagenfahrer entpuppte, mit Riesen-Spinnentattou auf dem mächtigen Oberarm, den entsprechenden Sprüchen, also das volle Programm,....aber immerhin Dive-Master. Mit dem war ich Tauchen im Parc Subaquatic in Tarragona, dem einzigen, eingermaßen passablen Tauchgebiet hier in der Gegend, und habe tatsächlich mit ihm als kompetentem Guide mein erstes Schiffswrack betaucht, die ...

... 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 ...

... as you can. However, you have to be waist deep in the sea 6 meters apart and you can´t throw it directly at the other person, you have to skim it off the sea. Every time you hit the other person in the face you get a point. Genius.

Also, in the morning I had gone for a run and due to a previous sun burn I was peeling. A massive pool of sweat had gathered between my skin and my peeling skin. It looked like a tumor the size of a ...

... MORE SHOPS! YESSSS haha I was in heaven but there were also these WEIRD shops with witches working them and weird potions and soap that smalls really good- like I was at Lush! So I had my first Churo- SO FREAKIN GOOD. It's like a well tastes similar to a mini donut but it is long and some have chocolate all over them, Mom you would DIE!!! I was like more more more in my head! Lluis was also buying me all these beers haha it was GREAT! SO we were ...

... shelf stuff that America has. Doors, windows, railings, everything is designed. Barcelona is one of the most populated cities in Spain so there were a number of people getting around. After ariving at the hotel we all went for a walk and saw one of Antonio Gaudi's works, Guell Park, an urban park designed to be somewhat of a fairy tale land where the houses were all very unique and private. Kind of hard to ...
