And the story goes on. Today we traveled from Nimes in France south to Barcelona in Spain OLE. The weather wasn´t very good on the way. Lots of rain, but we were dry and comfortable, so no complaining there.
 We took our time driving and once in Spain we abandonded the Motorway and took the road along the coast. We passed through all the favorite holiday spots for the Dutch and English. What a joke. When we still lived in Holland, wild horses couldn´t drag Coen to this area. Now he enjoyed it very much, can you believe that? We saw Lloret da Mar, Tossa and Malgret da Mar and all the other places all the way down to Barca.

Our hostel is smack in the middle of the city, a nightmare to get there by car. But we managed and now we step out on Las Ramblas. The kids had serious doubts about this spot. Tonight we went out, had a quick bite to eat and started walking on and around Las Ramblas. Wow did that changed their minds.This is the best place to shop and there are lots of pubs and restaurants. Tomorrow we are going to explore more of this beautiful city. Hope to get a glimps of some Gaudi architecture. The man are likely to go to Nou Camp; but we do not plan too much ahead, just wait and see what the weather is doing. Europe is getting very very cold (so much for global warming).

Will post new photo´s soon.
