The extra day stretched out to a week, we had the advantage in cost, where we stay for seven days and pay for only six. Also it was a quiet site and the facilities were excellent, clean toilets and lovely hot water in the showers. There were a lot of permanent caravans on the site and they were in use over the weekend when families arrived from nearby Barcelona. Even though it was busy for these few days it was still peaceful at night.
I did a lot of running, mainly along the promenade and back. The views very stunning and it eased the effort of getting my running muscle into shape again. I was also using the iPod with the running programme and sensor that Margaret had given me. As I jogged along I could listen to my favourite music and have my time and distance statistics recorded in the iPod memory.
We also had a couple of long walks. One took us to the hills overlooking Sitges, rewarding us with excellent views of the town and the Mediterranean. The other went south along the coast to the next town, Vilanova. The path meandered on top of cliffs and past beautiful coves with golden sanded beaches. At Vila nova we managed to buy a British Sunday newspaper and sat at the sea front reading and having or lunch of sandwiches and thermos of coffee.
It was a relaxing week and we had caught up with the sun again. The site also had Wi-Fi and I was able to add more to this blog and keep a check on our e-mail. In the evenings we watched TV and were able to keep tract of Ann Widdecombe’s antics and progress in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’
