My solo journey of the heart and World
The day I was leaving Girona just before midday, I walked to the bus station, about 15 minutes and waited around for the bus to Cadaques. The bus was not as crowded as the train was that I had to take to get to Girona and I had the row to myself for the 2 hour …
The spa day was very nice. My day started with an early morning walk along the old city walls and ramparts that stood between my apartment and the spa. Early by Girona standards though. Certainly not what I would call an early start in my domestic life. At 8:45am, I walked from the apartment along the river …
I normally choose my accommodations on a 3 or 4 factors and sometimes it is hotels, sometimes it is hostels and sometimes I do Airbnb either renting a room only or renting an entire place. My criteria boils down to price; location as it relates to walkability from train or bus station and proximity to the …
Because I missed out on the kayaking and had some time to spare, I decided I would treat myself and I was inspired by the tour of the ancient bathhouse the other day. I have gone to several bathhouses/hammams/spas in various countries and I am a big fan. So I looked online and they did have …
I took it easy doing some laundry and some work to catch up and booked a history and food walking tour in English for the following day. Girona was bigger than I thought it would be and I was staying about 20 minutes walking from the old walled city. I always like getting a tour so I …
Later that evening, Igor and his girlfriend and his friend Ollie, came into town for dinner as promised. However, because they waited until Friday, traffic and parking was a nightmare because the international film festival started that day. But we all met up and went to the cultural and community center that is in an old Tabacco …
Now here is where Alice comes back into the picture. Once we had connected by WhatsApp when I was in Brussels, even though we did not see each other there, we stayed in touch and she happened to be traveling to Spain from France for a short vacation. So I convinced her to come to San Sebastián …
The next day was beach day. It wasn’t the sunniest of days but there definitely was sun mixed with clouds and the temps were warm. I walked the 15-20 minutes to La Concha and found it was not super busy, which is just how I like it and I found a patch of soft fine sand to …
The next day I took the Ebike tour starting at 10:00am with Go Local San Sebastián . It was a small group-6 plus the guide- on an English speaking 2.5 hour tour. The Ebike was great, you still totally felt like you were riding a bike and needed the pedal power but it made it a lot …
The following day, I was checking out of my hotel but they allowed me to work in their cafeteria until the mid afternoon when Igor could drive me to my rented room in San Sebastián. I can’t thank Igor enough for his hospitality and taxi service and inviting me to celebrate with his friends. Igor dropped …
