When I woke this morning I seem to remember a song from a show relevant to today.
THE RAIN IN SPAIN FALLS MAINLY ON THE CAMPSITE (I think I heard it, I think I heard it).
Unfortunately my Android will not take pictures if its raining (I tried)
So jumped into my time machine and nipped back a couple of years ENJOY

What’s on below if you are thinking of joining me !
They say in life do something dangerous every day so I did today I CAUGHT A BUS Ha Ha
Every where closed today not many people about so nipped into the back streets to coffee with the locals.
After lunch out with the bike graffiti hunting in Villanova and El Cubelles.
My bus story today is the driver closed the door early trapping a women’s shopping trolley in the doors.
The British motorhome club sites should really try a bit harder with their bin problem ?
Coffee in town first thing very busy then in the afternoon a big cycle into Villanova and along the seafront and harbor.
This car park last year had the remains of a burnt out motorhome in it so now they have stopped them parking here.
The site restaurant menu and below lovely color’s in the evening again.

Bus into Villa nova this morning the bus is now 3 times longer than last year which means it must take a different route and they still have problems with people it also has changed its number and stand in the station. I was right a different route coming back but still problems.
Lovely coffee and cake had a walk about. Back to the site for lunch then out with the bike for a cycle down to Cubelles.
On my way back noticed a bin that had eaten to much cardboard and was been sick UGH!
Washed the van when I got back then a coffee on site and after tea a walk round the campsite spotted a van that has an unusual sat nav?
