Wet in the Wetlands.
We are parked in an Aire at Els Muntells in the Parc Natural del Delta de L'Ebre, a large wetland area with many rice paddies and migratory birds. Flamingos allegedly but we've only seen herons and egrets so far. We are sharing this spot with an Italian and a Spaniard. They both have massive motorhomes yet are traveling alone. Unless of course there are more people locked up inside who aren't allowed out. We each only speak our own languages so we've had a really interesting conversation so far and we've all agreed it's very flat here and yes it rains a lot.
Now I'm not moaning but....... I can't remember when it wasn't raining. St Etienne I think and that was a week ago. The sun did come out for a couple of hours today in between a thunderstorm and a sort of persistent heavy drizzle but, hey ho it's warm inside Lulu and we have plenty of fresh water, food and drink.
We've just been for a walk through the village to stretch our legs. There are three restaurants, two bars, a bakers, a museum, a general store, village hall and a church. All closed. In the last town before here though we found the best ever Lidl store. We stocked up with food for a couple of days for about €17.00 and the quality, variety and freshness of the food puts our supermarkets to shame.
Tomorrow we're heading off to check out a couple of campsites we've seen near Valencia which will, hopefully, have some wifi.
Adios, Pat.
