The walk along Las Rumblas. The other times we have been to Barcelona, the Rumblas is full of mimes etc. Maybe because we were there on week days, they were not around. It loses some of the flavor without them.
We walked up to the Metro station but then decided to go into the Arena. This is an old bull ring that they have made into a shopping mall. Great use of the space. Bob bought a converter as he does not like the one we have. We walked around the mall for a while and then decided to take the Metro to Las Ramblas. I thought we would visit the market again but Bob wanted to go to the Cathedral. So we walked down the Ramblas for a bit and then crossed over to the area where the Cathedral is found. It is a beautiful Cathedral. I waited for Bob as he went inside.
The beautiful Cathedral in the heart of Barcelona.
We then walked back to the Metro and came back to the hotel. We had a light lunch in the lounge and then a nap. Both of us are tired. I could not sleep so I am updating the blog. I am coming down with a cold and my nose is plugged. Makes for interesting breathing.
In the afternoon we packed up our suitcases as we have to have them out of the room by 6am.
Tonight we are attending a buffet and Flamingo Demonstration. So we met the group in the lounge for a pre dinner cocktail. There will be 11 of us going to the show. We met Dagmar in the lobby and headed to the Metro to the theater. It is interesting that they allow you to buy a ten trip ticket and both Bob and I can uses the same ticket. Once one person inserts the ticket and enters they pass the ticket to the next person and off you go.
The buffet was very good. Lots of regional dishes. We sat with Maureen and Mark (I think I said his name was Matt before and Maureen has still not received her luggage), Frank and Judy. After the dinner we headed into the theater for the show. Talk about loud. I had to hold my ears most of the evening. The dancing was great but both Bob and I thought it was too long. Although most of the folks loved it. Then Frank and Judy and Bob and I took a taxi home as Judy and I did not want to walk from the Metro late at night.
You are only allowed to take pictures at the end of the performance. I did take a video and will try and post it later.
One of the passengers had his pocket picked earlier in the day. He lost about $1000.00 plus a credit card. By the time he was able to call the credit card company, they had already spent over $600.00.
To bed as we need to be up early in the morning for our flight to Marseille.
