May 19 - Lake Caspe, Ebro Valley

Barren looking area.....

barren looking camp site....

but wonderful lake just over the hedge [created by damming the River Ebro]

plus a swimming pool of course

16 May - another beach

Our first dip in the sea - not bad for May.

15 May - at the beach

We knew we should have come earlier and put towels down!

14 May - Barcelona

Well Jane, do you want it or not? [one of the many super yachts in Barcelona marina]

Gnome challenges a street artist as to who can stay still the longest...............

............Gnome wins!!!!!!!

The fantastic Boqueria market.

Picasso painted this plate - or was it Katelyn or Liana or Lexie?

12 May - our Camp Site

You put your left foot in, your left foot out, you do the hokey cokey.... The Brits play boules!

Our dining room.

Apparently it gets busier on the weekend.

12 May - Vilanova Park

We are on a huge campsite near Sitges about 30km south of Barcelona. One of the benefits of huge sites is the amount and standard of their facilities [3 swimming pools, tennis, gym etc etc]. The other benefit is when you come out of season, they are relatively quiet - hence jane having the pool to herself.

Also, for the first time we have joined a "rally" so have the company of other Brits. It is a really useful way of getting local info quickly plus there are events to join in if you want. So it's Boules at 2.00 and Whist at 8.00 and wife-swapping at midnight! We will post photos later - if decent and legal.

9 May - the amazing ancient Greek and Roman town of Empuries

We cycled about 8km to visit this. This is an aerial view of the site photographed from an information board. It only shows the ancient Greek part. The Roman site is behind this and on a much bigger scale.
Greek water filters.

A Greek statue.

Another Greek God!!

Roman mosaic floors

The main entrance through the Roman walls - see the ruts of the chariot wheels on the floor and a phallic symbol on one of the blocks to the right of the entrance symbolising strength and prosperity.
