L'Estartit

The wedding weekend was over.Monday was departure day for most of the guests so a long breakfast sitting under the trees, a final chat and goodbyes said we loaded into the little Fiat rental car and took off for our apartment further up the coast to a small seaside town called L'Estartit.It took less than a hour to drive too and for me, passing places it had taken me hours of walking it was a bit surreal.Pals, where we had taken ages to find our way out of we were through in minutes  and the frigging castle was in our sights quite soon after leaving Hotel Eetu.
The first impressions were favourable when we drove into the town,there was no reception open but eventually managed to contact the agent by phone and while we waited we had a nice lunch of tapas on the beach,literally on the beach as cafes are on the sand.
The apartment was as promised,close to the beach and good facilities,even a washing machine and a coffee maker so we can self cater quite happily.
The afternoon was well on by the time we got a key and unpacked but we got in a swim and Chris a run before sitting out on the deck enjoying our own version of tapas.
The weather forecast was not great for the next couple of days however so we had plans to visit the Dali museum and Barcelona as Chris had not been there.
Tuesday we explored the waterfront area and found the main shopping street and the information centre so we have all the information needed but the wind was cool and skies overcast which was not what we had hoped for so we drove to Figurers so Lou and Chris could visit the Dali-Theatre Museum there. Brad and I had been earlier so
I did a reconoitre of the town and located the train station for the fast train to Girona,Barcelona and a timetable for getting to Barcelona.
They were impressed with the collection as I was so a good decision.
We had a home cooked meal of local sausages and salads plus local wines to finish our day.It was lovely sitting outside as the sun sank and illuminated the town.Quite a dramatic sunset.
