Didn’t sleep well last night. Just before I got into bed I saw a big ant on the bed, I quickly got rid of it. As I was reading my kindle another ant walked across the page 😳 I was out of bed in a flash, pulling the bedclothes back, putting the lights on and searching in case there were anymore. I couldn’t find any but several times throughout the night I woke, imagining ants crawling over me.
On the internet I had discovered that there is a coastal path running all the way down through Catalunya. We decided to go for a walk and try and find it. We didn’t have to walk far to pick it up, just out of the site, turn left and a short walk to the Tamarit Castle, then up through some vegetation, following a well worn path. Along the way we found a quiet beach, which we returned to later. The views were beautiful, we walked until we came to a wide flat path, followed it for a short while before turning around. There were a few others walking as well but other than that it was extremely quiet.

After lunch we walked back to the beach we had found and I went for a swim. The sea was lively and I was OK whilst I was the other side of the breaking waves but suddenly I found myself in front of the breaking waves. A series of 3 waves caught me unawares, the first 2 made me wobble but the third knocked me flat, I was very grateful when I came up for air. One of my boobs escaped from my swimming costume so I had to rectify that quickly, although there was hardly anyone around. But apart from that, it was very enjoyable and Lottie was very good, waiting on the beach, not like the last time I went swimming.
We had decided to have takeaway as we’re moving tomorrow but reception told us that the takeaway only opened at weekends, so we went to the bar/restaurant for something to eat. As we walked up to the restaurant we bumped into one of our neighbours, a lovely couple from the other side of London. We sat together for our meal and had a very enjoyable evening. We were sat out on the terrace looking out into the beach, virtually on the beach. When we started our meal there were still some people swimming in the sea. The castle was lit up and was a dramatic backdrop.
