How's that possible? It's been raining all day long. Good thing we have the car, obviously. Tonight should be interesting with the tent and sleeping bags that are getting thoroughly soaked at the moment...
Finding a camping was not altogether easy in the first place. First site we checked did not quite look like the "excellent amenities" promised by the guidebook. The second no longer existed. The third is quite nice, except for the humidity of course.
Our neighbors at the camping have two dogs, they seem to be happy to sleep outside. On the other hand, the owners did put up a marquee about the size of your average urban patio next to their smallish 2-person tent... We are definitely roughing it up, sitting on the ground etc. Not much cooking going on either, since we couldn't find any fuel for the Trangia. Now we got some skin-cleaning (?) alcohol, let's see if it's any good.
So we've been village-hopping for two days since it's so easy with the car. Girona yesterday, Besalú, Olot, Castellfollit and Figueres today. These all are really close to each other, but probably wouldn't have gotten around to seeing them without the car, since bus services usually aren't that frequent.
People are happier to speak Spanish than I feared. Although T almost ended up hungry at a restaurant because the poor waiter didn't understand me ordering the menu twice :D Trying to speak English is not much use here, except at the Barcelona airport.
Let's see where we'll end up tomorrow, they're forecasting more rain... :S
