With some reluctance to give up our lazy ways, we headed today to Barcelona, about 600 km. It was a good driving day - cloudy, cool. That's good as it helps Mark's eyes not to have it bright. I also gave up my wussy ways and drove for about 2 1/2 hours. Sigh.
We are staying in an industrial area of Barcelona at a fairly nice, modern hotel, Hotel Servasa. We were lucky to find it with just following Google Map written direction, no actual map. As usual, Mark was able to find it with his unerring sense of direction.
We took the bus into Plaza Catalunya which took quite a while. We met Chris and Ken and we strolled down the Ramblas for a bit. Ken found a restaurant, Elizabets in his guide book which it said had good local food. So, we went there and it was pretty good. We had tapas, beer and wine. Lots of laughs. Then, we took a subway and a train back to our hotel and they took the subway back to theirs. We are tired and about to collapse.
As a note - we missed the royal wedding of Kate and William completely as we were driving most of the day.
