Wish we had much more time in Barcelona! Today we went on a bus tour to see some places we can tour again by city bus if we wish. The place is B&B - beautiful and busy, but sooooo worth visiting. Our location is terrific - right on La Rambla, which is a super walking tourist area, and only about a 5 minute walk from the waterfront. Life starts early around here, but it goes very late into the noght, even at this time of year. The weather was great today - not like the London rain we saw yesterday - clear, high about 17.
Things are not cheap here though - this afternoon I had a liter of beer which cost 7 1/2 Euoros, or about $11CDN. Needless to say, we are buying at local convenience stores and partying in our room.
Transportation is so different from North America - I think there are more scooters than people here, and the streets accommodate 2-wheel parking and driving very well. My Suburban would feel just huge here, being more than twice the size of the average large Spanish car...
One more day to see and do BCN, and then Meg wants us to board the Gem early before regular boarding so we can meet some of her friends who are leaving the ship on Sunday. I really do not want to sleep during the next 30+ hours for fear of missing some of the fun. Somehow, I feel I will return to Barcelona in the future. I have been here twice before, but not to appreciate it as I have this time.
Happy Hour has started next door, so I must sign off and get a little happier!
