Up at 6am and gone by 7 from our camping ground. It was was still dark as we set off for the long drive to Barcelona. We avoided the tolls so the trip took about 4 hours. We arrived in Barcelona with time to spare so dumped our packs at the hotel then drove out of the city to drop off the van. We didn't really expect the depot to be so far out so glad we got rid of our packs. We caught the train back in as the rain began to fall. It was also the coldest day of ou...

Another day in Peniscola. We made the decision this morning to stay another day here, then travel the 277 km's tomorrow to drop off the van by 12pm in Barcelona. It will mean an early start but it gives us the day to relax and see the sites. We packed up and drove in to the city about lunch then had sandwiches on the beach. Once again the sun was shining and there were people everywhere. We headed along the beach and up to the castle. It cost us all of €3.50 ea...

A pretty early start today as we were worried the policia may book us for camping in the city. No need to worry as the other campers were all still there in the morning.

It was pushing 20 degs, the sun was shining and no wind to be felt. We realized we were incorrectly dressed so went back to the van to change out of jeans then ba...

With a night of screaming kids beside us were happy to get away from other campers. The sun was out and the wind had died down although it did return later in the day. With 850 km's still to Barcelona in 4 days we headed off north making for Alicante. We did spend a while exploring Cabo national park as we made our way along the coast. Very beautiful desert again with the Mediterranean beside us. With the sun shining it made the waters glisten like glass. It was ...

The good news is we didn't get blown away last night. But blow it really did, as well as torrential rain. When we did rise this morning it was nice and sunny. However the wind was still strong and has stayed that way all day making the days driving and cooking and sightseeing all difficult. But what can you do? So Jac had a refreshing dip in the ocean then a cold beach shower to get things started. We did our best to cook then off we went. We left the beach and b...
