Reports

During my travels, my compensation for free accommodation for one night, was for me to write a daily travel diary. Of how I got to my next location, the people who would host me, the food I was offered and everything else. Below you find the archives of the highly extensive reports. Know that English is not my native language and most reports were written at high speed around midnight. Enjoy.

Barcelona --> Sitges (E) photos only.

At the moment photos only. Stay up to date with publication of a report through the mailinglist.
From Pablo Lamarca's place in Barcelona I travelled south to Sitges, a small village along the coast, some 30 km from Barcelona.

I stayed with Anke, a Dutch lady, who was having a temporary vacation in her parent's apartment. I met Anke before when I stayed with Evelyne Hollands (also Dutch) in Castelldefe earlier this week.

After dinner at home Anke took me out into Sitges to celebrate my birthday, starting tonight at midnight.

Photos

At the Tibidabo metro station upper square, where I just left Pablos place to head to my next place to stay...

Thanks to my InterRail pass, sponsored by the Spanish train company Renfe, I found my way from Barcelona station Sants to Sitges, a small village 30km south of Barcelona.

And here I was away from the busy city life. Hey, Sitges even has a beach!

And beach artists! Zeus is taking a sand bath...

Mmm. Eventhough it was around freezing point at this boulevard, this photograph doesnt show anything of it. It always looks summer here, I guess.

I spent some time waiting on the boulevard, where I would meet my next hostess around 6pm.

My hostess Anke (Dutch), in front of that church tower you saw earlier on that sunny pic.

And by absolute coincidence here name was called by a friend sitting at a terrace. Suddenly Anke bumped into this friend who was visiting Sitges at this same day!

Anke, posing in front of the local fish at the supermarket.

And this is how those fishes ended up in Ankes oven.

Someway it looked more romantic in real life, but anyway, dinner time!

And because it would be my birthday starting tonight at midnight: cheers, Ramon!

Anke with her letmestayforaday-gift from Pablo Lamarca in Barcelona. As Pablo has studied English in Scotland, he adores this Scottish beer pint with all his heart. He decided to give it away to Anke, so it would reallly be a Personal gift.

And at midnight I was standing at the lit boulevard again. Yeehaw! I AM 25 NOW!

And my birthday started with a beer in a Dutch pub called Nieuw Amsterdam. Not a bad choice at all, Anke! <BR>(photo enhanced from almost darkness)
