Roses

We left Bonterra Park on Wed morning and drove to Peniscola, a town and castle built on an isthmus, and then made our way along a twisting road following the coast. Delighted to find 2 geocaches, one on the rocky beach and the second 250m up in the hills behind. Beautiful views of the hills and the coastline. There´s lots of ancient terracing on the hillsides in Spain, made in the 17th century by the Moors. On these hills, they are almost perfectly preserved and the cache was hidden in one of many dry stone walls. Stayed Wed night at Vilanova Park, south of Barcelona (and enjoyed the tasty restaurant again) then negotiated the autovistas through the centre of the city! Challenging, but achieved with hitch. Arrived at Roses on the Costa Brava (almost France) yesterday and explored the immediate area on the bikes. Today, we are going to venture a little further around the coast. Another lovely spot.

We knew you would get round to some geocaches eventually. Make the most of the sun - although it has been 16 degrees for the last few days here, snow is forecast for early next week!

Hello,
it was good to catch up with your news after our own travels. We have enjoyed 3 wonderful days in Venice - glorious weather and no crowds! We walked miles (or should it be kilometers!) and enjoyed the galleries, basilica, Doges' Palace etc.

Hope you continue to enjoy the sun - we have returned to a snow forecast but in Devon, we'll believe it when we see it!!

love Lionel and Wendy xxx
