Paris to Sitges
Friday 26th May 2017
Breakfast at the ever spectacular Train Bleu before getting the TGV down to Barcelona. Took a local train from there down to Sitges, only about half an hour away, and then had a bit of time to myself to explore the town before meeting the others. Went to the villa for some Veuve Clicquot (sabraged of course) before heading back into town for a fittingly Spanish late dinner of paella, then a bar and finally a moonlit stroll along the shore back to my hotel.

Had a bit of time spare before my train left, and couldn't resist breakfast at Le Train Bleu.

Magnificent as ever, and lovely to see it when it's so quiet.

Nimes, such an inoffensive looking place, and yet it has so much to answer for.

17:12:38
On the local train from Barcelona to Sitges. It was getting a bit too hot to be comfortably wearing a suit. I of course persisted regardless.

18:22:13
At my hotel now, down by the harbour in Sitges.

18:33:49
Nice views of the bay with the late afternoon / early evening sunlight glistening on the sea.

18:54:08
In Bar Roy, which had a slightly old fashioned feel to it in places, although obviously the sports on TV was not to my liking.

18:59:32
Vermouth is apparently popular in this part of Spain. This is a Vermut Falset.

19:30:30
In a different bar now - El Cable - and another vermouth.

19:31:30
The barrels in El Cable.

19:31:51
Nice old cabinets.

19:58:21
Took another stroll along the shore.

20:11:43
...and found this outdoor bar, I think this is El Vivero.

20:13:14

21:01:05
Now at the villa Leon hired, where everyone else in the group was staying (I decided I'd be a bit more comfortable at a hotel).

21:36:19

21:58:52
Me and Gav with some Veuve Clicquot.

23:47:19
The gang in La Zorra, where we had a late dinner. Paella, obviously.

00:22:09
Gav finishing off the sangria before we headed on.

00:22:12

00:41:57
Me, Gav and Tony at the bar we went to after La Zorra. It was a bit loud in here for me to be honest.

01:30:31
I made my excuses and left after a bit, and had a pleasant moonlit stroll back along the seafront to my hotel.

Lovely location for a playground! Made a mental note that Erika would like it here.
