Barcelona, Spain, Sat 11 Oct 08

We had an afternoon flight out and with our airport being an hour out of Barcelona we only had the morning. We wondered around our hostel's area for a little while and although there wasn't too much to see we did find a crazy little kids park with wacky trees, plants and play areas.

We walked on to a large inner city park which had beautiful fountains and ponds and made for a great walk. Just outside we spotted a gropu led by some musical drummers & dancers. They were awesome, they had a great beat and were so energetic. We watched them for ages. We left the park and spotted Barcelona's Arc de Triomph which was a beautiful peach colour.

We finally made our way to the bus station to catch the bus back out to the Girona airport where we had a rather annoying time. Our plane was delayed by 2 hours, we had multiple gate changes (causing many annoying walks through the airport) and we got stuck on a stairwell in limbo for 45 mins! They had sent us passed the boarding gates but the door to the tarmac wasn't open so we were stuck on a stairwell. We couldn't go anywhere because they'd already taken our tickets. So weird and frustrating. Not a pleasant journey back at all.
