under the blanket

After about three days of intensive sun-tanning, my skin is still in the same winter-pale state it was in when I arrived here in Tossa de Mar, while Lilian has managed to get all kinds of tan lines on her skin. But other than the botched attempts to be a bronzed goddess, I am thoroughly enjoying myself.

Daily routine: Stroll to the beach from our quaint lovely little hotel in the morning, bask in the sun for an hour or so. Head for yummy lunch which invariably involves seafood of some sort, followed by sluggish siesta on the rooftop terrace of the hotel. Dinner doesn´t really get going till at least 9 pm, and we´ve been having paella, sangria and tapas. Fall asleep to BBC World, the only English channel on TV. Wake up and repeat the next morning, with the only change being which bikini to wear.

Took lots of pix, but no way of uploading them now, so be prepared to be tortured by endless pix of this trip.

Heading for Barcelona tomorrow, where I think we will be a lot less relaxed, cos we are intending to go on a major shopping spree. Time is ticking away quickly in this Internet cafe....Three minutes left...
