MAH to BCN

An early start and finished packing before checking out. We drove to the car rental and dropped off the car before getting a transfer to the airport.

We checked in for our separate flights and met everyone else before going through security.

We had coffee and breakfast together before saying goodbye.

I caught my flight to Barcelona and then things got eventful!

Firstly, there was a 30 minute walk from the plane to the luggage carousel, which was almost impossible to identify but finally I located my suitcase.

Then I tried to find the Uber pick up location, which wasn’t nearly as difficult as getting an Uber! I tried and cancelled 2 before getting a regular taxi. When I googled it, the Barcelona taxi association is stopping uber using the airport… and being very successful.

Finally made it to the hotel. Well, yes and no. Turns out I stuffed up and booked the right hotel, the right date but the wrong year. And it was a non refundable reservation. And very expensive. Fortunately the receptionist was very nice and helpful. He found me a room on booking. Com and got me checked in early and let me have the upgrade I requested. And he talked to management who allowed me to cancel the incorrect reservation free of charge and get a full refund! 🎉!

Once in my room I sorted a few bits and checked in for my flight tomorrow. I then went to the lounge for a free lunch.

In the evening I went back to the lounge for cocktails and tapas. I ate a variety of different tapas and had some wine and cocktails before going to the restaurant for dinner.

When I got back to my room there was a night chocolate on the bed.Read more
