We
came here since it was closer than our original destination and we were getting
tired! - Last night I was actually starting dreaming whilst trying to talk to
Adam after being traumatised by fishing boats - I just kept on talking complete
rubbish (I know that is usual for me but this was real rubbish - then I fell
asleep and was sent to bed by Adam). I think we were just really tired -
we got complacent as we knew yesterday was the last sail so we didn't take turns
to sleep in the day like we had done on the previous days - but by three in
the morning we were just both worn out. Good job that Stargazer knows how
to sail herself really when she has to and just piled along to our destination
with us being passengers
We
had a good lie in this morning though! - before a wander into the town which is
only just up the hill from the Marina. It is a really nice place - and
again we are here in some kind of festival - tonight there is a huge stage and
live music on just on the quay. The town is pretty - I have only been to
spain once but it still struck me that in the evening you walk around the town
and it is so lively with families eating outside the cafe's on the streets - it
ain't like Bury anyway. North Spain where we are is really green and
mountainous.
Sadly
my highlight has been going to the supermarket (oh dear)- I just love
finding all the interesting things you can't get at home - or actually - finding
bargains, I managed to stop Adam purchasing 1 ltr of wine for 80 euro's
and went for the expensive 2008 Rioja at 2.50 Euro's since we are celebrating
after all!
This
is the town that is just across the water
 And
this is the view across the Marina where we are staying and up the
Ria
 Some
Buildings - I thought that they were pretty
 And
me in the high street looking like a tourist
