My post day-
The guides gave me the tixs for Picasso and Park Guell. They were timed for 12:30 at the park and 2:30 Picasso. I was also given a
hop on hop off tour bus tix for transportation.
I like these buses for seeing sights.
But they are not efficient means of transport. I unfortunately had my headphones conk out and missed the Park Guell stop. It's not near
the park, so it didn't seem recognizable. This meant I had to go around again, which made me 1.5 hrs late for my time for the park. They would not let me in. I waited to see if I could get in with other times, but after an hour, I changed my time to 7:30pm, and got on the bus to go to Picasso. Of course, they were full and wouldn't let me in late either!
unlike the park, they had no other times that day. They could have given me time for the next day, but the next day was Monday, and they are closed then. Since I was leaving Monday afternoon, Tuesday was not possible. So I missed it after all, but made it to the park. The park is amazing. Sadly, by the end of the day, I was too tired to do much exploring. Oh well. It would have been nice to see more, but it gives me a reason to return to Barcelona, which is an absolutely fabulous city!! I spent some time wandering the gothic quarter, and it was fantastic! So nice. I wish I'd added an extra post day, since I had time before Scotland, but I chose more time in Scotland. Oh well, at least it should be cooler. I will definitely try to return to Spain at a cooler time of the year. I'm now waiting for my car to the airport. I was going to go to La Pedera and possibly Casa Batillo (they are right by the hotel, on the same street), but was too tired. Things for next time!
