We took a drive out this morning to get some LPG for the van - only a 50 km round trip but oh boy what an adventure. Spain is mad! The roads are crazy and the views are quite something else. We are going in to Barcelona on St George's day which they appear to celebrate by exchanging flowers. So on every street corner there are people selling flowers (and if you're not in to flowers then it seems to be books!). I also noticed all the catalan flags. So many of the balconies have them hanging over the side. They are a very strong red and yellow stripe. All very colourful. I think we might see some interesting sights in the city today!

  1. Hi
    Just thought I'd let you know that Bob and Phoebe got back safely yesterday. They had quite an eventful journey and were the last ones that actually got on the flight. I'll let them explain the gory details themselves. At least we might now see our cats again!
    Enjoy Barcelona
    Dad

  2. Hola!

    hope you've been enjoying the tapas and churros - and the amaazing hot chocolate.

    I was expecting you to be roped in to bringing home stranded travellers - well done for escaping -you must have felt pleased you are self-mobile!

    Have a wonderful time!

    lots of love
    C and A
