Saturday 16th October 2010

Left early and had a good run down to Spain where we crossed the border at 10.20am. The border was very busy with shops and lorries, it looked like a huge truck depot! We continued along the N11 towards Barcelona, which is obviously the (non toll road) truck route. We past a couple of women standing by the roadside waiting for a lift or something, then one went to pull her top down as we went past and the next was dressed in hot pants! Some had come prepared and had seats and parasols! Well it was sunny and temperatures in the 70’s!
Having made good time we decided to go straight for the campsite south of Bacelona where Carol, Chris & Emma are joining us. Arrived mid afternoon to find the camp fairly busy, the girl on reception explained a lot would leave Sunday evening and it would be quieter during the week. At weekend the Spanish arrive enmass! They gave us a pitch and an escort to find it, unable to get into the road the pitches were off, so were moved a road up where we had a good pitch on the end.
Had a walk around and found the supermarket, bar & restaurant etc, looks really nice with lots to do including two outdoor and one indoor pool. One of which has fantastic views over the coast. Sarah is very concerned about having to wear a swimming hat for the indoor one! This should be fun!
