Sunday in Sitges

Ola!

Wifi at last, two hours for €2, yippee. Time to update the blog, catch up with emails and check the weather further down the coast.

We left Olot this morning on the LPG hunt and, as directed, found some at a motorway service station just outside Barcelona. When I bought the refillable gas kit I also bought adaptors which would cover all the different pumps I might encounter throughout Europe. After 20 minutes of attempting to get LPG into the bottles and just as I was about to do a John Cleese impression with a tree branch and a motorhome the nice man appeared from the service station and showed me how to do it with the first adaptor I had tried!

We are now on a campsite at Sitges and, you've guessed, it's pouring down. We've got all facilities here for €17.00 a night and we're waiting for a break in the rain so we can get a week's worth of washing done and dried. Meanwhile the ragu sauce is simmering away and despite the lousy weather we've had for the last few days I wouldn't rather be anywhere else.

Yesterday we drove up through  the  mountains from France  and to the coast of Spain.  We stopped at a couple of places on the way but as it was lunchtime everything was closed and it was so windy we didn't stop long. However we did stop in Cadaques  , a beautiful fishing village with twisting , winding streets and houses with whitewashed walls . We wanted to go to the Dali museum but unfortunately that was closed too ! We settled for a walk around the port , wearing hats, gloves etc before setting off for Olot .

There are a couple of dozen other m/homes here and we're the baby of the bunch. Some are almost as long as a bus and they nearly all have massive satellite dishes on their roofs. Us? We're listening to Yo La Tengo through the mini speakers
Adios for now,
Pat
