Roadtrip 2017 dag 8

27 augustus 2017 - Caspe, Spanje

We began our morning easy and slow, dressing up, having breakfast and preparing for our first day of fishing. When we went to our bike, it didn´t take long for our fishing guide, Jos, to show up on his scooter either. We followed him quite far, leaving Caspe and going on a rough, rocky road, leading us to Ebro. There we placed our stuff in the boat and went out to our fishing spot. When we arrived, we immediately prepared our camp by removing some rocks and setting up a tent. When our four rods were standing ready, we sat down and started waiting. It was just so beautiful. Morning sun was slowly warming up the cool air and shining over Ebro, and the only thing breaking the silence was the wind, blowing against our fishing lines. As much as I loved exploring the crowded cities, sitting like this just with Marcel and Jos, surrounded by nature, was like heaven to me. We were talking and laughing, enjoying the silence for a while and talking again. Waiting. Refreshing our bait. Still waiting. The heat reached it´s peak, making us happy that we sit in our tent´s shadow. Still no fish. Suddenly we heard thunder in a distance, and it didn´t take long for the first drops of rain to reach us. It was already time to return, and with the storm coming our way we decided to pack our things. We quickly cleaned up our camp and returned to the other shore. There we said our "until tomorrows" to Jos and drove back to Caspe. On our way it already began to rain very hard. As we use the motorcycle as a scooter here, riding slow just with our helmets on, our clothes got totally soaked in no time. Soon we were back to the hotel where we could change clothes and relax until dinner. When the time came, the rain had already stopped. We went to a pizzeria that Jos had recommended. There we ordered a few pizzas, small and medium, and they came sooo thick and full of toppings! It was just delicious, but so much that neither of us could finish them whole. After this great meal we headed back to our hotel, making a nice evening walk through Caspe,  which came alive like I've never seen before, when the cool night air changed the day's heat. Back in our room we're slowly preparing for the night. We had lots of fun and rest today, both us and the fish, but we really hope and keep our fingers crossed for a good tomorrow's catch!
