What can you say about yesterday - it was more of the same as you would expect staying in a coastal resort. It was hot, sunny, we played 9 holes of golf in the morning, lay on the beach for a while, had an afternoon cocktail by the pool and then Michael and Trish went out for a second 9 holes at 5pm while I read my book. The four of us meet up again when the golfers returned for another drink by he pool before heading to the resturant for dinner.
This morning we were up for another early breakfast and over to the golf course for another 8am tee off. This time I didn't play as I am nursing an injury. Under the tutelage of Michael trying to help me with my swing yesterday I damaged one of my intercostal cartilages therefore making any swinging today rather painful. I made a very efficient score keeper though.
Following golf we packed and left the resort. It has been a lovely three days here but it is time to move on. We headed east towards Girona which is the closest city to Pals. Here we had a wander around the old part of the city. It obviously still has some strong connection to its Roman past and there was evidence that they stil hold festivals / street parades in remembrance to their historical roots. There is part of the old Roman fortification surrounding the former city which you can walk along but it isn't anything like that of Dubrovnik. It was a mild 36 degrees and we were sweltering until we could find a suitablely shaded place to have a late lunch.
From Girona we headed about an hour south to Barcelona where we will be residing for the next 4 days. We have ditched the rental car and are back to beating the feet.
