We were awoken around seven this morning by a thunderstorm. Thanks! Yesterday's visit to Barcelona had been a long day, and really taken it out of us. Sometimes we forget we're not as young as we were. With no need to rush, as the rain wasn't due to ease until around lunchtime we decided to take a shower, hand wash a few items and sit it out whilst the only black clouds tumbled around the sky overhead. As the weather settled, we packed some lunch and caught the free bus from the campsite that takes you into the centre of Mataro.
We didn't want to walk too much, as tomorrow we are returning to Barcelona to cycle the Carretera De Les Aigues on our Bromptons. To reach it we will need to take the train and the funicular railway. Mataro was quiet, the shops closed until five after siesta. We didn't mind. We walked some of the town trail, until we'd had enough and decided to stop for afternoon refreshment. This evening you would never guess the day had started with such awful weather. Keen to take advantage of the hand washing sinks Angela washed a few more items, now hung out to dry near to John as he cooks on our grill.
The washing should have a very pleasant aroma indeed. An early night tonight. Tomorrow will be a big, probably stressful day as we negotiate the Spanish railway system. One thing we know is, if you need help, just ask.
