Lonnnng Walks and Plenty Steps

I asked at reception this morning to change rooms!

We are on the 5th of 6 floors and the person above arrived in their room at 1am and clattered around and had a shower. Noisely there were folks outside the room yapping at 12:30 and the noise from the street. I asked if we could change to a quieter room after explaining to Eric the lovely receptionist .he agreed and gave us a room on the top floor in a quiet corridor. I always feel it’s better to speak up rather than just endure and write a nasty review afterwards. It’s not their fault.

We had a nice coffee in a cafe nearby and planned the day. We did a walk through the Gracia area. The modernista architecture is stunning.

Lunch at a Cafe favoured by Ben and I. Patatas bravas and coffee. Fuelled up we bought a card for using the public transport. Metro to Placa Espanya then Walk up Montjuic. Hilly but good for working off food!

Ended up down by the marina. Lots of manic seagulls dive bombing folks eating. We walked to the nearest Metro. Starting to flag after only 4 hours sleep! Back to hotel for a freshen up and I only wanted fruit and yogurt for food so we went to Corte Ingles eatery.

Back and collapsed into bed. Much quieter. Sleep…..

Step count 22380!
