En route to Barcelona

So the day has come... our final train to our final destination 😔 We are extremely excited for Barcelona 😁🇪🇸 Our train was at 10.07 and the train is actually really really nice. We are sat on the top level as it’s a double decker train. We’ve come prepared with our lunch in our bags and plenty of films to watch on Netflix to pass the time. The lady sat next to us has her cat with her! Let’s just hope I don’t start sneezing the whole journey 😂

Before we knew it we had arrived in Barcelona. Google maps told us it was a 30 minute walk to our apartment and so having been sat down for 6 hours we thought we would walk it in the rain (quite refreshing). We finally found the apartment however the owner was nowhere to be seen. After spending ages trying to get through to them we finally got hold of someone who told us to wait 15 more minutes :/

She finally arrives with the key and speaks no English however I understand the word 4 in Spanish and so understood that we must go to the 4th floor. This is not an easy job with heavy suitcases, tiny steps and no lift 😬 We were pleasantly surprised when we got inside it will do us nicely.

After a quick trip to Carreforre Express to get some ingredients, we were at work preparing a nice spaghetti bolognese for our tea accompanied with a bottle of 1€ wine which actually tasted surprisingly good. Although getting the cork out the bottle was a struggle and resulted in me practically hanging off the bottle with the Leah holding onto it for a good 10 minutes 😂 A quick shower to freshen up for tomorrow before bed was compulsory as well after having completed the longest, hottest walk we have done to date dragging our suitcases which now must weigh about 18kg. The muscles we will be coming home with will be bigger than any gym freak I know.Read more
