The BIG Trip

Figuring our way to Figueres...

SPAIN | Wednesday, 31 August 2011 | Views [468]

Woke up relatively early and had breakfast with our supplies from the supermarket. Packed up our gear then went on a mish to find a cooler bag, RCA cables and cooking gas before check out. On our way down the road we also managed to get Bray some cheap but funky replacement ‘knock about’ shoes as his white shoes were killed by the mission to Otres Beach! We had found a few ‘outdoor stores’ online and tried the closest one...which wasn’t all that close and turned out to be a hammock and outdoor furniture type store instead. Argh! On our way home we found a cooler bag at a random ‘sells everything’ store and got the cable from Cash Converters.

Bray picked up a 6L of water (for under 1 Euro) as Roni scooted home to pack the last things. We were still hunting gas so followed our GPS to another address we had found previously...SUCCESS!! Cooking with gas is now a possibility.

Getting out of Barcelona we headed up the coast – some great views! Our destination was Figueres and we made it by around 2pm. We were there to see the Dali Theatre Museum and randomly chose a road that led straight past it – yay! Found a free parking space near the dog walking park and had lunch before going to see, touch and photograph it ourselves. Much excitement J

The thunderclouds were gathering and light getting a bit dim on it so we decided to spend the night close by instead of heading to La Jonquera as we had first planned. Drove around in circles for a while before parking again and walking to find the info site, they gave us a map and list of campgrounds. We drove out of the city with one in mind but not 100% sure of where exactly on the road it was... Spotted it and screeched in off the highway. Lovely people and an adequate site J Bathrooms, toilets and room for our tent and car.

Cracked out the local cerveza with our standard meal of salami, cheese and bread J Good times. A hot coffee was had with an oreo before bed – treats! We stocked up on coffee and a packet of bikkies in Bangkok as we knew it was WELL cheaper. Happy with that!
