We departed Girona about 11am
and headed 30 miles northeast to the coast where we had arranged to meet Gill
& Den Clarke.
Gill & Den lodged in our house during Christmas of 2015,
but we were in Portugal and had never met them !
Confused? You will be….
Gill & Den are Rob’s parents, Rob, Vicki and their
family stayed in our house when their home was flooded during Carlisle ’s
Great Flood of December 2015.
As we had planned to head abroad in our camper that December
(for a couple of months); we thought we would offer our house as a refuge until
they could find somewhere more suitable, especially as Violet was only a month
old! Gill & Den stayed there that Christmas. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing
the photos of a large family having a great Christmas in our house whilst we
were travelling through France ,
Spain and Portugal .
Anyway, Gill & Den live in L’Escala which is 30 miles
from Girona. Vicki & Rob are presently in America
on holiday, but through the wonders of technology they knew where we were and told
Gill & Den who said they would like to meet us. They treated us to a lovely
authentic Catalan meal by their pool, and we had a great time chatting about
pretty much everything.
But being the travelling types we are it was onwards and
upwards towards France
stopping for the night at Figueres, which I’m sure you'll know is the birth, and final resting place
of Salvador Dalí. Gill & Den had told us to visit his museum which we
planned to do tomorrow, wouldn’t you know it’s only closed 2 days this month
and tomorrow is one of them!
