maritime museum and la rambla

It has been a long and eventful day. We started with a swim in the pool before setting off to Barcelona.

The trip was quite long but we wiled away the time watching movies. The weather was really hot and we were fascinated by the street performers who must have been boiling. The market was great and,we all bought lots of souvenirs and gifts. No one was pickpocketed and we all laughed to see the illegal street vendors disappear every time a police bike rode down only to reappear as soon as they had gone.

At the concert we were joined by Mr and Mrs Davidson which was,a lovely surprise.
The concert was excellent with a huge group of ninosnors joining us for the Blues Brothers medley.

The venue itself was beautiful being enclosed on one side by the museum and on the other by an ancient stone wall. The central pool was stocked with moisture and to our delight, turtles.

Thee long drive back was made to pass more quickly by watching West Side Story, Mr Goodwin's favourite film.
Back in Tossa we had dinner at the seafront except for a small select group who were too tired to go out so had a kebab party on Mrs Selmes's  balcony.
