Roaming the Streets of Barcelona!

So ... our last day in Spain. The old boy slept in. I woke up a bit earlier and rewrote our day from yesterday. And then, we had some breakfast in our hotel restaurant. We have no clue whether or not it is included ... I can't remember what I booked and we can't see it in our reservation.

So, we might get a surprise at the end of our stay for our breakfast tab ... but ... who cares. They had the most wonderful coffee machine. We are really going to miss the coffee here. We are also going to miss the Inez Rosales Tortas. I was hoping we could order them on Amazon. Good news is that we CAN! Bad news is that it costs $71.19 CAD to get a package of six of them. So .... that is not going to happen.

We are, however, eagerly anticipating butter again. All the dry bread in Spain ... throughout the whole of Spain ... is probably much healthier for you ... but ... we love our butter in the Lanser family. In fact, we have been coveting our friends ample supply of butter in it's incredibly artistic iterations on their cruise. The olive oil is magnificent here. Don't get me wrong. I am just missing butter on my bread.

We headed out in search of two things today. Fisherman's Friends ... because I did not pack enough. I naively assumed I could pick some up here in Spain ... but ... nope. The only place we finally found the original and the mint variety was in the Tobaco shops. I am guessing that since menthol cigarettes are no longer (or I think I heard a rumor in that regard) the tobacco shops are bringing these in because if you suck on a mint or original Fisherman Friend ... you might get a sense of a menthol cigarette. Of course, I am just making this all up. However, I am ever so grateful to have found the mint ones. They are definitely NOT my favorite, but will get me through until we are home. Who knew I'd be addicted to Fisherman Friends??? I guess it could be worse. 😉

The old boy set Google Maps for the Rambla. We thought we would take another wander down that magnificent tourist attraction. Google was sending us the long way around. When I had a look at what was going on, I realized that the old boy had it set for car travel not for walking ... so ... it was routing us according to the one way streets! Eeeeeek. 🥴

No wonder we were having such trouble with it and I was having to argue with it over and over again. Once we got it set for foot travel and the old boy realized you could "recenter", it was remarkably accurate!🤣

Ultimately, we found "La Rambla" and enjoyed another wander through the Market!! We picked up a really nice spicy olive selection to have with our wine during happy hour today. The elderly gentleman in Sitges taught us well! 😊

We reorganized our bags for our trip home. We are going to expand one of them and check it so we have more room. As per tradition, we picked up Christmas ornaments in each of the places we visited so that we can reminisce on our travels as we dress the tree each year!

And now ... we are checked in for our flight! Here's hoping WestJet doesn't pull any fast ones on us for tomorrow. I am not in the mood for any more aviation related mountains. I am feeling so darn eager to be home again. Hopefully it will be another easy-peasy day.

Keep your fingers crossed for us ... okay? Love and Hugs, k&j ❤️Okumaya devam et
