Barcelona - Teyran

 

Alba and Albert want to have a party with friends in the afternoon and asked me on my first evening if I would like to stay there for it. Yes, that would have been a lot of fun to attend a Spanish party, but unfortunately I have to ride on. My next host is already waiting for me.

If I had known what awaited me that day on the road, I might have changed my mind.

The wind whistled down from the mountains and I was told in the evening that it was probably wind speeds of up to 120 km/h. Riding on a motorcycle under this cirumstances is no fun anymore. You have to compensate for the gusts all the time, you need the whole lane and can not really relax. I decided to go on the highway very soon, because the pleasure of riding is low unter this conditions anyway. Nevertheless, I arrive in Teyran at Marei and Yves later as I had planned.

The both are wonderful hosts and I did enjoy their place as a compensation for the strenuous day of riding. Marei and Yves, whom I have probably not seen for about 20 years, are wonderful. Marei spoiled me with all sorts of delicious food and we took advantage of the swimming pool in the garden. That's a way to live! I immediately felt very well.

It's really is a special gift to travel from one place to another and find so much hospitality everywhere.
