Final Day at Sitges

Our last full day in Spain and a quiet one for Gaye and I while the rest of the family were at Barcelona Zoo. The sea is still running quite high with huge breakers. We enjoyed a nice walk and a seat by the sea people watching.

Gaye almost fully recovered from her poorly day yesterday

Only Eleanor, Tommy and myself remained free of the bug 

The inevitable selfie

Saying goodbye is never easy but this one was particularly difficult. There were a few tears from Gaye and I when they left. We now have another 6 hours to wait for our flight to NCL tonight.

A Visit to Palace Maricel in Sitges

An easier day with no rail travel and just a walk from our Villa to the town centre in Sitges. We passed this bay nearby where we are staying and it was full of surfers. Leo counted 67 of them. The weather was wet most of the morning but cleared up for our walk to the palace.

The Palace Maricel is in the town centre and we had a guided tour in English with a young guide whose English was good but she had such a quiet voice that Gaye could not hear a word she said and most others struggled as well.

This is on the top floor overlooking the sea. 

Leo and Tommy are great pals.

 

This three were quite well behaved despite it being a bit boring for them 

On our return home we at last managed a family photograph before Mario heads back to Newcastle as he has to be back at work on Monday.

A Few Hours on the Beach followed by Tapas

A nice morning but not too hot so a couple of hours on the beach was as long as we could suffer before the sand got everywhere. The kids enjoyed themselves though.

Its a lovely beach and kept very clean 

Hannah and Eleanor enjoyed themselves

The beach was followed by Tapas at a restaurant just beside the beach.

The walk home for some of us while the rest came back in the car 

The boys enjoyed a small play park

Arrived in Sitges

We all arrived in Sitges on Saturday, but Fraser and family were delayed by a few hours and then missed a train connection  between the Airport and Sitges so they were very tired when they arrived. Elliot went to bed immediately on arrival and slept almost 14 hours but the rest of them were up very early and had disturbed sleep. I went for a 3 mile walk with Fraser and Leslie and when we got back Elliot was still sleeping.

In the afternoon we headed into the town for a walk along the beach

Hannah & Eleanor braved the sea

The pool was too cold for swimming but good to dip your toes in.

A photo for the family files and the first one of all 5 grandchildren together. It was the start of an Easter Egg Hunt organised by Leo.

Elliot was very pleased with his find.

Eleanor and Leo were the only ones brave enough to go into the pool, although not for very long.

Sunday morning and I went off on my own for a 3 mile walk round the Marina

There were some magnificent boats in the Marina.
