Fun in the Sun

We pulled into Barcelona Sants train station right at midnight on the 2nd of May. After 14 hours of riding in passenger cars from Brussels to Paris to Pegnana to Port Bou and ultimately Barcelona we were exhausted. We made the taxi ride to Equity Point Hostel and pretty much went straight to bed.

Sunday ended up blessing us with gorgeous weather. A full sunny day with temperatures topping out in the high 60s and low 70s couldn't have been better spent than on the sand of a Spanish beach.

We had a dinner of Spanish Paella and spent the evening walking around the city looking at the local markets and vendors.

Unfortunate today has been much less pleasant. We awoke this morning to find the city victim to a torrential down pour and relatively cool temperatures. Although I'd much rather be relaxing on the beach reading in the sun, its still nice just sitting in the hostel's cafe taking it easy with no real concerns.

Yesterday morning we bought an overnight train ticket to Milan on May 6th. We don't plan on spending much time there, but instead plan to jump onto a connector and make our way to Rome and the Vatican.

As for now, I'm going to continue doing nothing, which is exactly what I want to do.

All good; all the time,

Thomas
