Mid Life Crisis European Tour Part 2

SITGES - the Gay Capital of Europe

Our gay friends would love it!

 
Took scenic route to get there – VERY hairpin bendy then down into town – found a good site but just made use of leccy and chilled – Mogs ran in morning and D was on the racing bike – not used to pedal clips M looked round and saw him in the middle of the road fallen off and with a puncture…..no injuries and the car behind stopped – phew!  So looking back it was quite funny…says M who did try really hard not to laugh at the time ;)

Sitges beach and sea front lovely but was time to move on - no time for beach pics I’m afraid but would def go back there –  it’s one of the gay centres of Europe – we did notice that when having coffee and a sarnie whilst looking round the town – felt a bit out of place and Dave felt a bit scared!!!  (Pussi)
 
3 IN THE VAN!
We have a pic that won't load of D outside the van with the mozzy net Kate and Benji gave us all set up - a mozzy managed to get in the van - maybe due to Mogs leaving a window open when she thought she was closing it - and there were now 3 of us living in the van that night - M, D and a hungry mozzy!! We called it Mogsy's mozzy and D spent most of the night trying to kill it - only M got covered in bites though!
 
MARINA D'OR

Down the coast to north of Valencia – Marina D’Or where Dave had been earlier this year on his mid life crisis European tour 2012 with the 4 other guys - Russ, Andy, Spud and Steve.  Played ‘spot the tart’ en route – in this part of spain (and probably everywhere else) they sit or stand by the road all dressed up looking for action!!  We didn’t stop but D wanted to take a photo ;)

Marina D’Or is lovely – campsites well busy but town pretty quiet now – great site with pool and nice MOSAICS

For Andy
 


Sunrise - Vannie was parked right on beach at end of site
 
Storm brewing by lunchtime Friday (12 Oct) – when it rains in Spain it rains!!  Met some fellow UK campers here – we are now proper campervan people and know geeky things like you need to cover your tyres in the heat to stop them bursting!!  Tidy…
We have also now ordered a geeky card for a camping club that gives us cheap fees J  D is also going to find out more about having a satellite dish – tidy again…

Saturday morning (13 Oct) we left Marina D'Or and headed for Moraira and Sally's 50th pary....
