Day 7 Saturday 26 May 2012.
The route Tamarit (0 kms)
The Saturday i was a lazy guy and i do not do anything just talking with my Dutch friends....
After a walk to the beach we admire the Castle of Tamarit...!
For the football (soccer) fans, Andre Iniesta was married here!!
I jealous this guy...
We have a dinner in a restaurant near the castle.
With the night lights the castle was very beautiful....
Saturday, and the people of Barcelona Full the camping.
In the whole camping we have our tent near to the most noised and loud family....:huh
4 youngs dont stop running up and down until 02.30 and their parents didn't say anything to be quiet....
Once again the yellow magic earplugs do their work and i sleep like a baby...
Here is the troublemakers....

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
