ROSES, COSTA BRAVA, SPAIN

Halo!

After a pleasant 3.5 hour drive we arrived in Roses, Costa Brava, Spain just after lunch. Checked into Hotel Ramblamar.




















The view from out beach front balcony is spectacular.

A sign on the beach front. Surely it's not legal here, is it?

We were keen to get to the water but waist deep was as far as they got. Even though the sun was out and it was a beautiful day the wind factor didn't really help much.

Afternoon happy hour at a cafe just across from the hotel.

You can't come to Spain and not drink Sangria. This one's for you Trish.

We were blessed with a most beautiful sunset whilst still happy houring.

Then dinner time and Dave wasn't having anything but Paella, a national dish of Spain.

And he thoroughly enjoyed it. Jayden made a little friend at the nearby playground and taught him to count to ten in English whilst he taught Jayden to count to five in Spanish but Jayden says he can only remember one (uno).

More awesome photos here.

ESCARGOT AND CRAVING

Dave had his very first serve of escargot, since being in France, last night. Since we missed the shops on Sunday (they only open till lunchtime) and with yesterday (Monday) being a public holiday here we made sure to catch them in the morning, along with every other person in Uzes! Dave found these in the freezer section for 1 euro 20 cents, far cheaper than we've seen at the markets. As for the taste, his response "good, garlic and butter."

We're craving some sun, sand and sea and generally warmer weather so we're flitting off to Roses, Costa Brava in Spain first thing tomorrow morning. We're booked into Hotel Ramblamar. Adios y mas tarde.
