Tour de hot

[Backblip marathon]

12 noon on the hotest day of the holiday isn't the best time to be embarking on a bike ride. Still after a bit of searching for keys, huffing and puffing, we set out in the midday sun down the hill into Torroella De Montgri (where it was market day!) and along some confusingly marked cycle paths (we should have taken a map) to the beautiful village of Ullastret where we dreamed of sitting out with a cold refreshing drink. Unfortunately everywhere was closed! So we found our way via a few farm tracks, back to Torrella. A glass of coke has never tasted so good!

The sun is hotter, the light is stronger and the colours are brighter. This is one of the plants climbing up the outside wall of the house. Taken after a refreshing well earned dip in the pool.
