Rest day in Girona - what to do?
Well, after 2 races and two shop rides, and before the 125km (1900m climbing) Gran Fondo, I decided to call it a rest day. My legs are a bit sore from yesterday's Nocturne and my resting hearth rate is up. So, resting.
What to do then in Girona when on is not cycling and when it is sunny and +30 centigrade? My favourite activities are drinking coffee in Campus Cafe and drinking beer in B-12. There are other nice things to do as well.
We had a lazy walk to a park next to the archeological museum. It a nice, cozy place with a pond full of frogs. The frogs are very loud in the night, now they only talked a little. There are beautiful dragon flies as well.
Of course, there are many sights to see here as well. There are the Cathedral, the Arabic baths, many other old (like 500 years or more) houses and churches and staircases etc. But I have seen most of them during my earlier visits, so no sightseeing today.
Soon, time for a late lunch. Then, a nap. Later in the evening, getting bikes ready for the Gran Fondo and going to bed early.
Update. the lunch was delicious. Here is the menu. Sirkku had salad and rabbit; I had soup and fish. Dessert was chocolate cake. I had two pints of beer.
For evening snack, we had some tapas. 5 tapas and a beer for 8 euros. And they were good.
Now, it is 9 pm. There would be a coctail event at the Hilton Hotel, but we are just too tired to walk over there.
