Digging through old pics I found these.
The top right Pic sais Barcelone 2000m, a toss of a coin decided, where we were going, France won, we went South. One day it rained so hard it flooded everywhere, it even turned the sea brown.
I remember at 9pm every night private Bouncers chucked us of the beach, because of gang drug violence.
We were going to drive North through the Mountains but we spent all our money bungee jumping, France has the biggest bridge jump in Europe, I did it.
