Templar Castle, Hermitage, Quicksand and we almost lost Ted 😬

First the good news: we visited a castle in PeƱiscola, a seaside town where – way back when – the Templar knights build a castle…


Another hermitage we visited on our way was Sant Llucia, high up in the mountains with an incredible view!


And now the bad news: we almost lost Ted today, but I better tell the whole story: We went to a beach today that has an unusual secret. More than 80km inland there are rivers that disappear underground and they reappear all over that beach we visited. It looks like the surface when you cook chocolate pudding. Bubbles everywhere!

Ok, maybe more like vanilla pudding? Anyway, when my dear husband Ted tried to walk into those bubbly areas, he immediately sank in, quickly! Up to his thighs and – because everything is so soft and unstable – it is difficult to get out! I immediately jumped into action – seeing him disappear – and screamed: ā€œTed, quickly, give me your wallet!ā€ And he did! And everything turned out good: He handed me his wallet, his passport and his phone 🤩

Ted survived. Nobody was harmed.

Don’t try this at home!
