Beautiful barcelona!

So we made it! About 17000 kms, 27 hours from take off to landing, why does it have to be such an ordeal? I never thought that being told to stay seated in a very comfy recliner chair and watch television for 24 hours straight could turn out to be such an exquisite form of torture!
Barcelona is a delight. We are at a b&b in the old town, close to all the history of this place, from the Romans through to the Visigoths and all the medieval times which saw barca one of the powers in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately they have suffered under Spanish administration, and being proud catalonians they might just secede from Spain, thank you! Stand by for a referendum later this year, maybe.
