A bit of a washout today
2 Februari, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
So I’d planned to take a train through the mountain so as to avoid further climbing today. All was good and I set off walking. However the weather clearly didn’t get the memo because that lightBaca selengkapnya
REEBANOCO aka SharionIt turns out it’s a promotion and my ticket is valid for 10 free journeys. I threw the last two away as I didn’t realise but I’ll hang onto it now

PelancongAlways amuses me when I see trees on the beach abroad. Lovely blue sky for you today. Not like here Nne stop rain, went to the Cinema.
REEBANOCO aka SharionThat sounds like a plan, did you see anything good? They do love their trees here but the majority are on the promenade. Now you’ve mentioned it, it is kinda funny !
PelancongSaw Marty Supreme loosely based on the life of the American table tennis champion of the 1940/50’s. Wasn’t sure how it would be but was very good. Going to see Wuthering Heights soon. Also Into the Woods at the Bridge Theatre London based on Grimms Fairy Tales.
REEBANOCO aka SharionBlimey you have quite the social life going on there, good for you
PelancongI belong to the Romney Marsh Theatre Club and we have an outing once a month. Pauline and I go to the Cinema a couple of times a month normally. Then there’s choir. Watching The Good Ship Murder it’s set in one of my favourite places Malta.
PelancongLike to keep busy while I can. Off to see the Great Grandsons Thursday. Tomorrow taking Ace out with Bailey weather permitting and then lunch at McDonald’s 🤣 hope they still doing big and tasty or it’s a sweet chilli chicken wrap for me.

Part 2 to L Amellta de mar
Today was great it was so peaceful walking the railway I was tempted to explore the abandoned stations but sensible me said don’t be foolish
PelancongLovely art work. I saw a young chap doing similar on one of the old lookout posts at Wear Bay a couple of days ago. Got talking to him and said how great it was and cheers up the old concrete structure for everyone. He said he does it mainly to help his mental health and lots of people stop to speak to him which he likes. Xx
REEBANOCO aka SharionI think if it’s art rather than vandalism then I agree it definitely makes drab walls better.

Today started very cloudy and with a bit of drizzle in the air but off I set heading for Hospitalet de l’Infant train station. I could see the sun teasing through ahead which kept me going for aBaca selengkapnya
PelancongNot a bad idea, are your feet giving you trouble? You dont have issues on the camino.
REEBANOCO aka SharionNo not really. I’m walking in trainers not trail shoes so I feel the stones more but I covered 15 miles in total today.
PelancongBeen grey and cold here wet, too. Finally, I got the confirmation of our apartment, having got Rie to phone and in a very japanese way, tell them to get their fonger out. An e mail from the manager followed, no doubt bowing deeply as he apologised for not letting me know. 4th floor this time.
REEBANOCO aka SharionWhat’s a fonger 🤣 at least it’s all done now that’s peace of mind

REEBANOCO aka SharionIt’s been nice walking around in short sleeves I’m not looking forward to heading home, that’s for sure
REEBANOCO aka SharionI had to sit through the 5 minute service to get the pic as he started as I walked in. It was a Catholic Church so it could’ve gone on for hours
Pelancong
I teally hate the modern glass pyramid. Spoils a lovely old building
PelancongLovely pictures, beautiful stained glass❤️. Have to agree with Mum the glass pyramid lends nothing to that lovely building.
REEBANOCO aka SharionI get what you saying but it’s very tastefully done. I don’t think the photos do it justice
REEBANOCO aka SharionThe stained glass was in Notre Dame it was beautiful inside
