After a lunch that was really just a big snack (I ate pretzels and cream cheese), we were ready to catch the train to Barcelona for our dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Friends who recommended this hotel said that it is what they had done with no trouble. I had tried looking up the train schedule on the internet, but couldn’t make much sense of it, other than to figure out there’s a train to Barcelona a couple of times an hour all day long. So I didn’t worry about it.
Our friends said they had gotten to the train station by taxi. Which was our plan too. But when we left the hotel, we just sorta started walking down the promenade. I guess I thought it wouldn’t be too far to an area where we could find a taxi. We never found one. Not until we got to the train station… nearly an hour later.
After the long walk (including a stop for a hot dog and another stop for an ice cream)… we had to wait for the train. But the tickets were free. I don’t know why. I just was glad to finally be on the way to Barcelona.
The tickets were free? Must have been funded by Barcelona to encourage people to travel there. I’ll read on to see how much the tickets were to leave.
