Last day in Barcelona

Day started with bacon & eggs as usual plus the other hotel breakfast goodies!
Off to the laundromat and a dress shop on the way. It is utterly fascinating that each little area has a wonderful array of shops tucked away. I guess the population density means that they can all make a living. Cecily & I ( slightly discouraged from our failures yesterday) gave it our best. It was reasonably priced so we had a
good time purchasing. I do wonder when I will wear the dress I bought! But that’s just the perils of shopping away from home.
It’s fascinating how many conversations with complete strangers are had while waiting for laundry! I even took one woman back to the dress shop!
Time to walk to the beach front and suss out the sailing trip that had been booked for us. When we arrived it was evident that the sea was fairly rough from a northerly 15 knot wind. The operator was very reasonable - he obviously didn’t want to deal with six elderly sea sick passengers. After careful consideration the trip was cancelled. We walked along the sea front of Little Barcelona, looking at the fab and not so fab bathers!!!!
Stopped on the walk back to the city for dinner. 20,000 steps + today. Back to our hotel H10 20 Urqinaona for bag packing, ready for an early start tomorrow and our flight to Split.Read more
