Wednesday 6th December 2107
Although we had enjoyed some very warm sunny weather during the day and made the most of this strolling along the wonderful sandy beach, as soon as the sun disappeared behind the mountains, the temperature plummeted like a stone. We had even begun to experience some frost in the mornings! A couple of days catching up with domestic chores and a little shopping and we decided to head back to one of our previous campsite near Barcelona, Vilanova Park, to begin the long journey back to England for Christmas.
Towing Kilometres – Today: 396 Cumulative: 5,618
Back in familiar territory we made our way to Vilanova Park, near Vilanova i la Geltrú and to the pitch we had used previously. Our intention was to spend a couple of days here, catch up with Lutz, whom we had met on our last visit and sit out the forthcoming Public Holiday celebrations on 8th December.
The campsite was busier than we had expected, but having 2 Public holidays so close to each other and a weekend, perhaps the Spanish were making the most of this time before Christmas with their friends and family.
Once settled in, we paid a visit to Lutz and met his friend Rudi, a keen kite surfer.
Lutz had been busy, toing and froing between Barcelona and Berlin for some social events as well as paying Camp Nou a visit, in nearby Barcelona, to watch a Champion’s League match. (I think it might have been a German team ………. 🙂 )
Ray invited Lutz and Rudi over for a meal and a convivial evening was spent catching up and getting to know Rudi.
