Coastal Walks, paddel boats, and Beaches!!!

These photos are not in the correct order - but I am not feeling like taking the time to arrange them at the moment - so.... I will just let you enjoy them as they are...

This first photo is the Playa Calella. We went to an "open air market" there one day.. FABULOUS!!! The photo of the parasailers.... NOT US!!! We did do this the following day though!

We rented a paddel boat for an hour and enjoyed being out in the Med! It was a really warm day and we enjoyed every ounce of Vitamin D we got !!!!

This is a view from out in the paddel boat... Calella beach :0) Enjoying our day together! No phones, TV, dogs, or worries!!!! We did wish the children were with us to enjoy this though!

Paddeling back in to return our boat.... Time to relax on the beach for a bit before heading back for dinner!

This is Playa de Lloret... We took a LONG walk on a coastal path from Playa Fennel which was near our hotel to the next beach around the next cove.... It was a good exercise regime for the day!

As you can see the sun wasn't always out.... but it was very humid this day!! We definately worked up a sweat in NO time!

Enjoying the views as we walked and walked! Us trying to take yet another picture of the two of us on vacation! Next time we will take friends or family along!!!

TOO close!!! Should have worn the sunglasses!!!

This is a castle on one of the cliffs that we walked past....

A nice little cave we climbed through on our walk!

This is the end - but it is where we started on our walk... Playa fennel.. The sand was more like little pebbles then sand... Not a reall good "feel good" factor on the tootsies... but it felt nice and warm!!! To large to make sandcastles out of though!
All in all - it was a wonderful day and we were exhausted by bed time... I think Ed thought I was trying to kill him on this walk - but in the end it was a wonderful day together and it was nice to be with just my soul mate, the sun, sand and be in SPAIN!

Who would have thought that we would be spending our 26th Wedding Anniversary in SPAIN!! I will post more tomorrow... Stop back by if you get a chance!

Day one in Spain!

After a L - O - N - G wait at the airport the night before..... when we stepped out onto our balcony the next morning this is what we found!

A nice sized pool with LOTS of lounge chairs - but one thing was missing....

The SUN!!!!!!!!!

It was still overcast from the night before.... So we thought we would take a walk around the area to see the shops and find the BEACH!!!!

We went into this shop and could not pass up the opportunity to try on this hat!!! Bob Marley all the way baby!!!! I like to say that Ed really knows how to "let his hair down" on vacation!!!! Ya Mon!!!

We finally found the beach!!! This was Playa Fennel which was just a 3-5 minute walk from the Hotel.... :0)

Ed dipping his feet into the MED!!!!! The water was so clear and blue! Now if the sun would start to come out of those clouds.... We still sat on the beach for a bit before continuing our walk through the streets of Lloret de Mar....

The Rain in SPAIN!!!

When we arrived in Spain this is what we were welcomed with! Dark clouds, lightening, and rain showers!!! We thought we had left ALL of this behind when we left England just 2 hours earlier!!! On the brighter side though - it was Warm and Humid!!


When we arrived we were told that our names were NOT on the transfer list for the bus going to our hotel! So we waited for the next bus to come an hour and a half later!!!

Here is Ed trying to make the best out of a bad situation! Tired and ready to put on his vacation clothes!!! However, he does have what made my waiting time bearable in his hand!!! Yep - a COKE ZERO with ice of course!!!

Trying to pass the time by taking a photo of ourselves... We had many more that had only part of me or Ed in them, some had just our eyes or noses.... We had a great time trying to get it just right!! Lots of laughing - I think the locals thought we were LOCO!!!!

FINALLY! We got one spot on!!!! The smiles are of course due to the fact that as we clicked this last photo our BUS ARRIVED!!!! Finally we can start our vacation in SPAIN!!!!!
