Lloret de Mar - Rabbies v Chimaira FC

Rabbies Team

 The Chimaira football club from London are in Lloret for a few days and while here have had a game with a team of lads which Hammy from Rabbies Bar got together...from where ever he could!

Chimaira FC

 The match was held at the Lloret FC ground, for which they were charged €140 for 1hr so the teams played 30 minutes each way. It was a great game with lots of action and goals, most of which were scored by Chimaira...but all good fun! The score at the end of the first half was 4 - 2 to Chimaira and finished at 10 -3.

They even had supporters...about 20 or so locals were there, but lots more were watching from the hotel balconies around the ground!

A great day and night in Rabbies!

Lloret de Mar Weather

The weather is really starting to get much hotter these days! 

We heard today from someone who had just drove through Vidreres just a few kilometers in land that the temperature there was 34ºC. In Lloret it would have been more like 28-30º....still very hot for this time of year! 

Theses 2 photos were taken from the cliff tops in Fenals looking out to the crystal clear Med and down onto one of the rocky coves.

Beach Bars

 

The beach bars in Lloret now seem to be doing a roaring trade, it looks as though the great weather we have been experiencing just lately has brought quite a lot of people into town for a short pre-season relaxing break or a spot of sight seeing!

Lloret de Mar Full Moon

Something out of this world for a change!

We have a photo here of the moon as we can see it tonight from our balcony in Lloret.

Lloret de Mar Triathlon

It was an exciting day in Fenals on Sunday with the Triathlon...I'm not sure how many took part but it must have been in the hundreds judging by how many bikes were lined up in the parking area. The day started off on the beach with all participants running into the sea for the 700mts swim after which there was a mad dash to the bikes for 20 km bike ride which wove all around the roads and narrow side streets of Fenals. The last part of the event was the 5km run. There were lots of people lining the streets to watch and cheer on all those who took part....a great atmosphere !
