Sardines 

Dinner last night at a restaurant in El Serrallo was a plate each of grilled sardines accompanied by potatoes and onions, a green salad and a plate of grilled red peppers and aubergines - all for €28.50.

It was a superb meal

Today we drove from Tarragona to Girona and what should have been a 2.5 hour drive turned into something much longer due to an accident some 60 kms approx from Girona. Three lanes of motorway came to a virtual stop and we crawled forward for around 40 minutes before normal speeds were attained. 

As a consequence we didn't arrive in a Girona until around 1.45pm which was too late to go to a market that Sherry had seen was on -while we walked to where it was they were packing up. From what we could see however we didn't miss much.

Staggered in 35 degree heat to have a quick look at the Old Town but the heat beat us and we made a retreat to the hotel (memo to self, may pay to drive and park closer to the city instead of walking for the 25 minutes it takes)


Looking at the rear of the buildings on the outer edge of the Old Town

The hotel has a pool so it was off there to cool down before turning around and returning to the centre to have a meal.

Tried to follow the ABs game v Wallabies and if it was as exciting as the score changes indicated them it would have been a good watch.

All that is needed is for the Warriors to have success this weekend (which I think they will) to put the icing on the sporting cake.
