Barcelona to Tarragona

The village of Roda de Bara

26 March 2008: Our last day in Barcelona was a quick one. We were heading off down the coast to the region of Tarragona or the Costa Daurada, which is along the Mediterranean coast. But, we wanted to make a quick trip into the city for some shopping since stores were closed the past few days. We got a new cell phone (yea!) Unfortunately, we are STILL trying to figure out how to use it as all the directions are in Spanish, and it calls with recordings and text messages in Spanish. I also seem to think the country code’s three different things! Yes, we are a bit lost, but at least I was able to call out to our bank to clear a couple issues we’ve been having… Anyway, if you have any suggestions or want to talk, feel free to email me or leave a comment on the blog and I’ll reply back to you.

After a short drive, we arrived at another mega resort campground, Playa Bara Park in the village of Roda de Bara. Some amenities include: a large pool area with waterslides and swim up bar, amphitheater, fitness gym, supermarket, hair salon, disco club, arcade, etc. Today, we pretty much vegged-out. After a slow morning and some catching up on the computer (there’s wifi from the camper, not free though), we strolled down to the beach. Unfortunately, there was no laying-out in the sun as a storm seemed like it was blowing in. So, what do we do? Yes, we go out for lunch…again! After that, there was more laziness at the camper until we finally motivated/digested and took Kai for some playground time. We played for a bit, and then discovered a mini-golf course, so we goofed around there, wrote postcards, etc. So, yep! Although we were ready for some lazy beach time, we still were able to make it a lazy day! We’re heading further south tomorrow….
