5/31/09: Barcelona, Spain

Today was disembark day for my parents, but their flight wasn’t until 8:00pm so we hit the town. The biggest obstacle…and it wasn’t that big…was finding a place to keep their luggage in the port so we A) wouldn’t have to carry it with us or B) wouldn’t have to wait for them to go to the airport, check it, and come back.

Barcelona has a 21euro tour bus and that is what we did. They are double deckers with audio provided…three separate routes…a good way to see the city without walking. We rode the Blue route for a while and then got off near Sagrada Familia to take photos. Getting back on the bus from there was a longer process. We took the red route all the way around the north end of the city and walked La Rambla back to the shuttle area.

From there we taxi’d back to the port, got their luggage, and just like that they were gone.

The rest of the day we relaxed.

the rest of the day we didn't relax. got to barcelona airport too early so had to wait to check in then wait 2 more hours to board. 2hr flight to Amsterdam. Arrived at 10pm and next flight was 10am next day. tried to sleep but airport became grand central station at 3 a.m. most of the stores opened and people spent money like there is no recession. got on plane and left at noon. arrived in Portland noon the same day. Feel like I been gone a month.
