Although we got up early 8am we didn't get away until 11am. Still don't know why. Sophie had her second night out under the stars and didn't move until she heard us. She even ignored one of those little yappy dogs that started with the dawn chorus.!! We got backto the autoroute in 5 mins which made our 1 1/2 hour search last night even more ***@@@** annoying. The temperature is 29 C, but cloudy and rather humid. Actually quite pleasant for touring in an air-conditioned car. Sophie doesn't think so she is still reluctant to get in even with the bucket full of 'natural remedy' from the Vet. I think it needs Librium! No quackery! Any way as I tell her she only has another 47 days to go.
The Motorway has two options the toll road and the old motorway. I decided on the toll because it would be easier to pull the van. That may be so but it costs a fortune. We spent nearly 40 euros today doing 200 miles!
We travelled mainly near the coast and so not too many hills. I was alarmed at the amount of petrol we bought yesterday so checked it out today, we are doing about 24 miles to the gallon, I suppose not bad for a rig that in total weighs about 2,800 kilos nearly 3 tons. It feels unusual though t be overtaken by 40ft Artics, but I'm getting used to it.
Found a picnic spot probably the only one in Spain
We are now at a 3* camp site 5 euros more than usual. It's at Gava a few miles south of Barcelona and apart from being on the flight path to Barcelona Airport, could make a great place to stay to visit the great City.The site is nice, they said not very busy, but put us in the middle of quite busy area. Pool, Shop, it's own internetcafe-which I don't need, and all the other facilities. The weather is cloudy, it has been all day and it's starting to blow. If I was in England I would expect rain before morning. Question? does Sophie sleep outside again tonight or in the Car?
