It’s a bit warmer in the shade today but it’s hazy too. The breeze is easterly rather than westerly, which seems to make a difference. For breakfast I have a mixed cheese and cold meats platter, which is fantastic. Diana has a fruit platter as she has had each morning but this time just melon and strawberries.
We’re off home today but the flight is at 16:15 so we check out and have our bags locked in a special luggage room by reception. We had walked up to the bus station the day before to check bus times and talk to the staff in the tourist office but connections don’t work out. There’s an early bus and one that arrives too late for checking in. We looked at going to Girona to explore the historic town there or catching the boat to Lloret but times didn’t work out for us so we booked a taxi back at the hotel instead.
We walked up to the castle again and found some alleys we’d missed before. We’re not very good at relaxing but 3 days in the sun had worked wonders and we spent some time just sitting, chatting and watching the world go by.
We had lunch on the terrace of the hotel. The roof above the restaurant has some smart and comfortable seating for guests. We had a picnic there while watching people wander along the seafront.
Soon enough, the taxi arrived and we were whisked off to the airport. It’s only a small airport and seems to be used almost exclusively by Ryanair, who, despite their ongoing bad press, were very good.
Before long we were back at Bristol and on our way home.
