Barcelona 2010-07-15
Well almost… the ferry was 4 hours late and so are we. It is bad enough to be on a ferry for 20 hours, but when it is that late, than wow… I have been hangin with the fin’s and that has been ok. They keep talking to each other in Dutch so I can’t understand… jake came to my room this afternoon and invited me to join them. That was nice… I hope Barcelona is fun. I don’t know where I am staying. I booked three days because traveling on Sunday is a bad plan. I am going to whoop through the rest of Europe as fast as I can and hopefully make dean’s party July 31. We will see. Not having internet sucks by the way. I don’t know what I would have done without my phone…
So we arrive in Barcelona in a port very much like the one we left. Cargo and isolated… they call 4 taxis for 12 people… I did have the forethought to enter the number of the taxi co into my phone… the taxi took us to the train station and dumped us there… so we were once again on our own for trans port. Fortunately I had my phone with the email and directions to my hotel. I shared a taxi with two girls from Australia. They are the third group of Ausi’s that I have met so far… we dropped them at a hostal and then I finally got to my hotel… it’s no Ritz, but it will do. There is a 24 restaurant right across the street so I was even able to eat, bonus. The place even has books! I need a new one and now I have one.
