Today we’re in the British Riviera (yes, they’re crazy) but we have visited very nice places like Wales.
Check some pictures I took in a medieval town
Umeko with the Camera. She was the Camera Assistant
From Palamos to Illes Medes, very close to the coastline
After re-fueling in Sant Feliu de Guixols we headed south to Tossa de Mar
Tossa de Mar, we got closer as we could to shoot “damn tourist” on the beachFather bunny is producing a short video that will show some of the best places in Costa Brava. Of course I am the executive producer and the original idea and all the shooting plan has be done by me.
I planned to shoot the coast from the air with an helicopter first and them from the sea. Unfortunately that will add 4.500,00 € an hour and I prefer to use my budget for other
expenses.
I sent Mem and Umeko with him and the Camera to shoot some of the most beautiful spots from the sea with a speed boat. Unfortunately for them the wind was blowing North with an intensity of 5 and some nasty waves that like to splash people when trying to go the same direction.
I placed a GPS logger in his equipment and It seems that they did their work despite the conditions. But I will need to clarify the over 100 € restaurant bill he gave me for a three person dinner in Sa Tuna.

Our first stop was Figueres were the Dali museum is located. It was the first time for both of us, so we decided to hire a professional guide for the visit.
It was well worth of it because Dali’s art complexity and all the weird things that you would miss is you’re not a real fan or just it’s your first visit.
From there we moved to Cadaques were we visited their center and we had Paella. A very nice dinner but may be too much Paella for us. The road from L’Escala to Cadaques is very curvy and you will need at least 30 minutes to arrive there. During summer time the traffic there is heavy and there’s no so much parking space (expect to park quite far, if you can park).
Next destination, Dali’s house in Port Lligat. I was there once sailing and I must admit that Dali knew about nice spots. He built a –surrealist house- joining several small fisherman houses. We were lucky because it’s closed on January. It was the last day…
Weather wasn’t fine and a big storm with heavy rain and wind surprised us. Well, this is another “nice” attraction of this area close to Cap de Creus.
If you want to see some pictures you can go here, but I really recommend visiting it.
This is what you just see when entering inside
Almost no day light, bad weather…
– should we return home, I asked my father.
– Surely not Miffa this is perfect for visiting Cap de Creus’ lighthouse.
He was right but it wasn’t nice outside. Now I know why sailors are afraid to cross this Cape with heavy “Tramuntana” wind.

Today it’s a Major festivity in Barcelona “La Merce”
From the official website
“Every year, around the 24th September, Barcelona bids farewell
to the summer with its Festival celebrations. This year’s
programme includes more than 600 events, which will take place
in just four days.An explosive programme where tradition – giants, dragons,
human castles – lives side by side with the most
contemporary artistic offerings: independent music, street
theatre, all kinds of public participation.”
Draculina , who never regrets to go out and to party, proposed to take her friends – Chairoko and Kiiroko as well as her new friend, Melanie – to taste the Merce 2008.
Mother Bunny accepted that Draculina takes out her friends , but not overnight. So, they got up quite early today and they took the bikes to have a look at the different events in the city. They went to “ Parc Ciutadella “, where a few events for small kids were going on, and then directly to the beach. They had a stop in front of the Hotel Arts, Draculina´ s recommendation for Chairoko and Kiiroko´s parents. Then, they went to beach. Draculina wants to get suntanned, actually, she wants to be as dark as her new friend Melanie.
They also had a look at a huge paella, which was being cooked on the street.
Draculina had a short bath and then they all ate paella while me –at home- was thinking about how to solve the Paella problem.

Chairoko and Kiiroko at “Mercado de las Dalias”But when you have to deal with an angry Father Bunny who hates crowds, but still has a will to go there, because he was evil during sonar festival – and when you play evil whilst in a bunny relationship sure you’ll pay- things surely will go in the wrong way.
And so they went: plenty of people, outrageous prices, the biggest rip-offs on earth, and rude people in our hotel.
Anyways Draculina – who got a severe punishment from Mother Bunny, cause her sonar party- Chairoko and Kiiroko and me did enjoy a lot our weekend in the white island. And, still the inner part has the old charm that Ibiza had in the old times.
Holy bunny, all those vessels are willing for a real crew
