Consistently sunny weather is such a blessing…… One rest day at Gavà, turned in to two rest days, but on Thursday afternoon Rodney got a little restless. “Let’s go into Barcelona and see the city at a different time of day”. It seemed like a grand idea. At 5:30pm the bus dropped us at the […]
‘So in the end, a line and colour are all that’s needed to create a painting’. Joan Miro Barcelona; it’s a long time since we were last here; 1992 in fact. Back then the city was readying itself for the Summer Olympics and the Sagrada Familia was still growing. Twenty-three years later, there we were,
Every passing minute gives you a chance to turn around It was a sad moment saying goodbye to Nicky and David after such a great week together, but we managed it; the teary moment came later. One positive note of leaving Camping Eden – we won’t miss the mulberry trees with their horrible, squishy,
Thank you, Nicky for a great title….. We must be getting older, or something has changed. We checked in to Peniscola and couldn’t really decide when to check out. We got comfy.

Two hours of Wednesday morning was spent watching the washing dry, yes, it’s a tough life. In the heat of midday, we cycled across to the promenade and turned right into town. There’s not a lot of the old town remaining, most of it has been modernised, but I found a very nicely painted
A laugh is a smile that has burst. How many steep, winding, twisting, turning roads are there in the world? On Tuesday we found yet another one. We gladly packed up and left Camping Costa Blanca after one night, it was not a great site and I was sick of watching commuter trains
Everything is tickety boo. The long weekend was over, so we headed further up the coast to a huge shopping centre where we had sourced an Orange telecommunications shop. “Habla inglés?”, smile……. “No”, was the answer. Dang! Here we go again. But as always, the lovely young lady spoke far better English than we
The secret to a happy life lies in small, kind gestures. Geraldine and Caroline flew back to England on Tuesday evening, leaving four of us at Casa Carisma to clean up and close down. So Wednesday morning was spent doing just that, then after lunch Rodney and I said our farewells to Russell
