Happy St David’s Day

I can’t believe it’s nearly 2 weeks since I last posted anything here…woops.

So what have we been up to? Well, last week we had a couple of days in Spain, visiting Barcelona, Girona and the coastline in between. We had a fabulous time and seemed to pack in an awful lot into 2 days.

I booked everything independently and it’s amazing how much time gets eaten up with doing research and making arrangements and making sure that everything fits together neatly.

We took an evening flight to Girona, arriving quite late. Our hotel was about 30 miles away, down on the coast. I’d arranged to hire a car and it was an interesting experience getting used to a strange car in the middle of the night and driving on the “wrong” side of the road (in the UK we drive on the left, of course, and in Spain they drive on the right).

And we got horribly lost so the journey to the hotel took a lot longer than planned. But we did get there eventually. I think this shows quite well how we work as a couple. I’m sure many couples would have got very stressed about getting lost in a strange country in the middle of the night and had a big argument, but we worked together as a team to get to our destination.

Spanish hotels seem to think that the best way to make a ‘double’ room is to push two single beds together. I hate having any separation between Sue and me at night, though, so we slept in one of the single beds. It was quite…umm…cosy but I love it. I always stick to Sue like a limpet at night anyway, but it would have been more comfortable to have a double bed.

One thing we didn’t get up to, though, is sex. Yep, we had a hotel holiday without any sex. Firstly because we had an action-packed couple of days and secondly because Sue’s period decided to arrive on the first day of our holiday. I always knew this wasn’t going to be a stay in the hotel room and have lots of sex kind of holiday anyway (like it usually is when we go to a hotel) and it really didn’t make much difference to us.

We spent one day touring round Barcelona and one day driving along the beautiful coastline and visiting Girona, with its impressive cathedral and charming old town which somehow seems more Italian than Spanish, before our all too brief stay was over.

Can’t wait to go back again.

By the way, today is St David’s Day here in Wales so…
