Sadly, we came to our last full day in Barcelona. We were no longer living in the charming neighborhood of Barri Gotic and since there was nothing of interest to keep us where we were, we had breakfast at the hotel (of far less quality than anywhere else in Spain) and quickly left to begin our day. We walked down to the Metro stop to find the Red Route Tour Bus for the Hop On Hop Off City Tour run Read on...

We arrived the Friday to warm sunny weather which stayed with us un Read on...
Monday (Oct 3) was a pretty chill last day in Lecce. We had a leisurely morning, with a breakfast of scrambled eggs and mushrooms, cheese and tomatoes, and toast, made by Susan. Delicious! I found another tailor on google, in the continuing quest to get my pantsuit hemmed, and success! The little tailor shop was just a short walk away, and we were helped along the way by really nice locals, one of Read on...

Ich dachte an eine kurze Erholungspause und wollte dann in dem Ort herumspazieren und in ein leckeres Cafe (das erste seit Kiefl) gehen und dort alles probieren, was nur halbwegs gut ausschaut. Tatsache war, dass ich schlief bis 20.00, dann einen Stock tiefer wankte zwecks Aben Read on...
