Vilanova Park Return

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.

Dinner in the Camp

Thursday 7th December 2017

We drove over to Cunit to ride along the promenade one more time and in the evening Lutz had generously offered to treat us all to dinner in the camp restaurant,

The Menu del Dia proved a good choice all round, washed down with some local beer and vino tinto and the addition of some Christmas favourites being played on the keyboard in the corner of the room, kind of added something to the evening festivities, in a quirky way 🙂

After a couple of glasses back at Lutz’s campervan to end the evening, we thanked him for his hospitality and headed back home.
