Last Day in Barcelona

It´s an undecisive morning/afternoon.
Only 6 made it for the 7am wake-up call to go to the Dali Museum. The rest barely made it for the 9:30 check out wake up call. Seems that they decided to make their last night in Barcelona memorable, and visited in room 402 until sunrise. The laughter could be heard from the first floor, but it seems the night desk watch is used to such hoolabaloo, as they were never asked to stop their fun and games.

I did hear one of the boys say that missing the Dali would be a regret of his life, and so I suggested that they try to still accomplish the feat, if they took the 11:25 train to Figerous and then have a shortened visit inside the museum by 3 pm, they could still make our 7 pm meeting time to catch our night train to Paris. The idea was thought about, but the fear that the line to get inside the museum would be too long, so they decided to take Mr. Keenan´s advice and visit Casa Mila, a Gaudi house.
I watched them head down Carrer de Ferran as I headed  in to write this blog. We decided to wait for the Dali 6 and then will walk up to visit Parc Guell a park designed by Gaudi. All legs are worn out, so we will see how our planned naps in the park rejuvevante us to walk back for our meeting time.

I will bbm Gwen to make a call that we made it to the Paris hotel without any difficulties. We are expected to arrive the Paris Austerlitz train station at 12:20 pm. Wed. June 30th, after a 15 hour train ride, just in time for a full day of: check in, Eiffel Tower, Bike Tour, Night Seine River Boat ride.

  1. Thanks for all the news! Sounds like a good time is being had by all and I am glad to hear all is working out despite the snags and lost luggage - what a bummer! SOOOO jealous of the adventure but keep it coming as I want to be vicariously traveling with you all (and pretend I am 30 years younger of course). Enjoy the rest of Barthelona and bon voyage to Paris!

  2. Love reading these posts. Sounds like Barcelona was a hit (how could it not be?!). So glad you are going to do the boat ride on the Seine in Paris - I was telling Shane it's a wonderful way to see the city. Hope the train ride isn't too grueling!

  3. Bonjour,

    Tired of walking around watching people with berets eating frog-legs? Well, maybe a little 10-pin action will rejuvenate your soul. Not sure how far it is from your hotel.
