Tuesday train to barcelona.

Went from calafell station €12 for the two of us. A nifty double decker french train. Took us into barcelona sants estacion. Bought two public transport day tickets €5 each then off to the bottom of las rambla. Looking for the Arpi camera shop. This dingbat had forgotten to pack his camera battery charger and compact flash reader. This top store (found on the web) had both and a helpful guy whose english was better than my spanish. I was happy. Had a little look around then it was off to a pretty square for a paella. Wandered up the rambla then on to the metro again for the train to lesseps and headed for some gaudi at parc guell. Took some busker shots there. Long walk back to lesseps punctuated by coffee and cake. Rain mostly held off. Down to placa catalunya looking for presents for ally then to the seaside bit at the bottom of the ramblas. B ack to estacion. Muttonhead got us on the wrong train but managed to get us off. 9 stops back then just caught a double decker stopper to calafell. Italian for tea. I had antipasto mixti and jean had some sort of roast veg pie. Mains were smoked salmon and prawn farfalle for me and ragu penne for jean very nice. Home storms in the night.
