From Venice it was time to catch our bus to the airport and catch our flight to Girona Spain where John was meeting us with the children. As we boarded our flight we both agreed how fortunate we had been to share this time and how seamless the journey had gone. John picked us up and had found an excellent hotel for us on the Costa Brava beach Llorett, just out of Girona....well done .....It was across the road from the beach with great views, had a family room and took dogs....sweet!
We were all up early the next day and headed to the train station to take a train to Barcelona.....did the greatest hits of Barcelona including the Los Ramblas, and the open air double decker bus tour of the city.
Had lunch - paella, of course - in front of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, and then visited Gaudi's Park Guell which is full of modern mosiacs and although crude when compared to Byzantine works, the use of colour and form is outstanding. 
Barcelona 
was tremendous and a place I shall have to return to one day to explore further.
Left Llorett the next day and headed back to France. Stopped at the very picturesques Spainish fishing village Cadaques on the coast for lunch...thanks Roger for the recommendation here. Had lunch at a restaurnat on the beach and the kids had a swim....lovely spot. Then it was home to Carcassone.
What a trip my head is full of new knowledge and inspiration, can't wait to chip away at something again soon.

Thank you John for encouraging and insisting I do this course. I think it has to be one of the best weeks of my life.
