Entry from: Sitges, Spain
Entry Title: “Sitges, Spain”

Entry:

“6/20 After only a few hours of sleep thanks to my comical late night trip to the airport to look for my luggage, Lee and I took a 5€ train to the beach at Sitges. It was a neat, double-decker train which gave us super views as the railroad is within meters of the Mediterranean for about half the journey.

Sitges is the highlight of the coast south of Barcelona. It was established as a holiday town in the 1960´s but has since become more of a youthful, party spot and resort which has brought much higher prices. Day-trippers from Barcelona get off easy though since the beach is free and only a 5 minutes walk from the bus or train stations. The town center is relatively concentrated with narrow streets and small shops.

The main street though actually isn´t a street, it´s the beautiful promenade along the sea. This promenade is very wide, lined with palms, and pristine with next to no trash in sight. The city has gone to great lengths to ensure that the beach is clean with nice rubbish and recycling bins every block as well as dispensers with plastic bags for those walking dogs. Every morning I would hear the street cleaners and garbage trucks at work early and then I would see sidewalk cleaners and trash collectors out in force. They were all easily spotted due to their neon green uniforms with many having small electric trucks or carts. I think Al Gore would approve.

Where Dubrovnik last summer had an amazing natural beauty, the beauty of Sitges is man-made. The town has a great design with the small town center and then surrounding residential areas. The big promenade is great for people watching as everyone from the elderly to kids on bikes or rollerbladers can all safely enjoy it at the same time. I estimate that the promenade is about 5 km long and essentially runs the length of the town.

As usual, Lee and I picked about the furthest beach to avoid the large crowds in town. It was quite a hike to get there but the cove had better scenery than the large, flat beach in town. The beach was made up of small pebbles so we rented lounge chairs for 8€ each. Lee went for a couple of swims and said the water was quite a bit warmer than our other beaches but it was also rough.

The town of Sitges doesn´t have much in the way of sights apart from the beaches. The main landmark is the Eglesia de Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla parish church which is visible from almost anywhere in town. There are plenty of high end restaurants and boutiques for the international jet set crowd (definitely not us). A lot of Sitges allure comes from the way the town has managed to retain it´s small town charm while still being a big hit with the ¨in¨ crowd. I just loved how gorgeous the beaches and town were and can´t wait to come back for a longer stay next week.

6/24-7/3 I was up early with Lee and took the MonBus (no idea why it´s called that) from the Barcelona city center to Sitges. Without checking online I don´t know how anyone would know where the stop is since it looks just like a regular bus stop. The bus trip was fine and not as long as I expected. The train to Sitges was still not operating due to the derailment the week before.

There was not the level of activity on the trip this week since Lee was gone. I basically recovered sitting in a lounge chair on the beach reading the whole week. My routine was quite boring – up early, go into town and walk around different sections, Internet, walk to beach, read, to bed early.

I stayed at the Hotel Alba which is in a residential area about midway between town and the best beaches. It´s about a …”

Entry from: Bowen, Australia
Entry Title: “No Labour Required”

Entry:

“Having Secombed to the fact that we wouldn’t find harvesting jobs around Cairns we headed south towards the Big Mango of Bowen. The drive was made at a steadily pace stopping at Mission Beach and Saunders Beach on the way. The roads in Oz are surprisingly poor, filled with holes and dirt tracks in stages. Once leaving the major towns you are quickly met by single file traffic, which doesn’t make you the most popular driver on the road, especially when your driving a 1985 van!

On day 2 we reached Townsville which had a large artificial rock pool and a long promenade filled with free electric BBQ’s, outdoor gyms and kiddies waterparks. That afternoon we headed towards Bowen having travelled over 400km from Cairns already. On our travels we had met an abundance of friendly locals, not to mention Terry and a few others up at the Rocky Creek War Memorial park outside of Atherton. They had given us many tips and guides highlighting the various places to look for work down the coast. The only problem was that everywhere we looked they had “no labour required” signs placed outside the farm gates. We headed into the local job office and put our name down on an extremely long list of other hopeful backpackers. We decided that after waiting 2 days we would search in some different towns. Heading back up to Ayr the same story applied, apparently a disease had spread amongst the crops. Even the government run harvest trail phone line was no use, there seemed to be no jobs anywhere despite their so called demand for harvesters. We were at a loss and continued heading south towards Brisbane. The only problem was we don’t think Donkey had the same idea, he had acquired the hiccups!”
