Reus 18 7 08

We awoke after a good sleep, probably the best sleep we have ever had at a camp site. It is really quiet here, even the child next door was quiet and the dogs in the farm fields round about stopped barking quite early. We watched 2 episodes of the latest series of 24, it is looking like a good series and I am sure we’ll watch more tonight.

I took the dogs round the campsite for a walk, we passed the horses, chickens, frogs, fruit trees and veg plants. We had breakfast and showered, it became apparent that the  family next to us were departing today as they started the mammoth pack of all their gear into a rather smart Mercedes.  We got chatting to them and it turned out that they were from Belgium, a really nice couple, as usual spoke various languages – put us to shame. He’s a risk management consultant, I think like the scatty woman from the Apprentice.

They told us about a nice beach where it is quiet and we could walk the dogs, he gave me the co-ordinates from his GPS but by accident he gave me the co-ordinates for the camp site. Not to worry, we found it no probs. It was a small beach but enough for the dogs to get a good run so we spent an hour there then came back to the site for a drink. I did a bit of emails and then we walked round the site.

In the afternoon we went into Reus, this is a surprising city, I’ve never heard of it before but it is lovely. It is the birth place of Gaudi and Salvador Dali so there are lots of Architectural things to look at. We got a leaflet of the walking tour and followed it.

It’s not that easy in a city with 2 dogs but they came along with us and were ok with the people and the traffic.

We had lunch, did the walk looking at the architecture and had ice creams then headed back. We needed something for Tea so we stopped by Carrefour, Susan went in for 3 things, when she came back I saw her with 2 full bags, there was a Gaucin moment when I said I thought you wen for a curry sauce, she didn’t throw her bags down the road so that was ok.

We’ve driven back and are going to send the evening at the site, probably in the little bar by reception then dinner, 24 and bed. We leave for Andorra tomorrow.

And just for Gordon, yet another Spar shot –this one had a cafe in it.

Gaudis birth place, not very glamorous!
