We had a free day with nothing scheduled. About half of the group decided to sleep in and then venture to the beach. There was no sign of them at breakfast, perhaps due to the extended curfew from the night before. The other group took a boat ride up the coast to Tossa del Mar. The boat trip was a sightseeing boat with a glass bottomed area. The old section of Tossa is located within a walled village castle that is situated right on the coast next to a beautiful beach. We explored the small streets and sat down for a big lunch of many local dishes (paella, pizza, fish soup, patataes bravas etc. We then jitneys beach and discovered some great rocks to jump into the water . Technically I suppose they were cliffs but I realize that there are moms reading this. The guys and some brave adults had a blast making some big splashes. We all boarded the boat for our return trip to Blanes. We reunited with the rest of the crew and finished the day at the beach and checking out the local craft market and stores.
After dinner the boys entertained themselves playing soccer in the street. Some decided to make a late night return to the disco (yes moms they were chaperoned at all times). The guys had a great time “throwing their Mack down’”. For those that are not so hip you can look that up in your urban dictionary. All have returned and have been sent to their rooms for a peaceful night’s sleep. We depart the hotel at 9:30 in the morning, one hour bus ride to Barcelona and then a roughly 1:00 departure for Paris, 80 minutes to switch planes and then we arrive in Montreal at 5:45. It will be a long travel day.
