Game of Chance

There was still a strong wind when we set out with Eamon and Liz for pastures new to them; or so we thought. Took a quick look at some Roman "ruins" en route and had no trouble at all with the traffic. What joy!
We arrived in Besalù where it was warm enough to have a coffee outside in the big square overlooking the Church. It was a place they recognised but had never known the name of or where it was. They had not found the medieval bridge of which the town is rightly proud either. Moved on from here to Banyoles after a stop at Porqueres to look at the 12th century Church. By this time the rain was on and lunch opposite the lake wasn't the highlight that it should have been. To think that it was a choice made by the flip of a coin as none of us was prepared to make a decision between a Michelin* restaurant in the centre of the town with no outlook what so ever and a more basic meal with a view. Still the meal was fine for what it was and didn't break the bank in anyway. We'll need to redeem our reputation on the restaurant recommendation front next time.
Came home without stopping, had a cup of tea at our place and said our goodbyes until perhaps next October.
