Today we are in Barcelona. The city is very beautiful and the weather today was nice and warm (about 20 degrees), though it did start raining later in the afternoon.
We took the funicular and then a cable car up to the top of a mountain to see the Castell de Montjuïc (a 17th century fortress). It reminded me of Puerto Rico and the fortresses found there. It had a great view of the city and also of the Mediterranean Sea.
We also walked down La Rambla, a long street with many little shops.
We ate dinner at a British pub (yes a British pub in Barcelona), and we got Ribs, Chips, and Salad. It was a very good meal, one of the best we've had since arriving in Europe.
And our train difficulties continue...
We went to book our train to Geneva (for tomorrow night, on the way to Gimmelwald), but it was completely sold out. So instead we were forced to book a train that takes us to Montpellier, France at 8:46 AM tomorrow morning, and then another train that takes us to Geneva, where we'll arrive at 5:30 PM. Now we have to find a place to stay in Geneva.
It would have been nice to have another day in Barcelona as it's a very nice city with lots to see.
And Tyler has found his SD reader (he had it with him the whole time), so I'll upload a few pictures shortly.
Hasta luego,
Jim
