Barcelona - Thursday - Day 1
April 2, 2006Luckily the flight is quite a late flight, after midday, so we managed to get to the airport without having to get out of bed at some ungodly hour! The trip on EasyBus was fab, kind of. A bit bumpy, but got us to Luton in good time.
So, once we got through to Luton, it was really a case of waiting for the plane. It was quite full of kids… probably something to do with Easter holidays.
Flight was about 2 hours, and then we got to Reus. The fun began!!!
To all people who are thinking about going to Reus as a stop for Barcelona… I would recommend against it. Not because it takes about 2 hours to get to the City Centre… but because the airport is a small hole in the middle of bog-all.
Take the bus from the car-park outside (€18 return), takes you to SANTS Metro Station.
The map that I used when trying to find the hotel… was maybe a bit short-sighted. I should have looked at another one as it would have shown me that the Hotel was right next to CLOT station… and not a camel-hike from GLORIES!!!
It would have save me a small argument on arrival… and a mini heart-attack when I saw the local area. Scary!
So… we settled in, and then went for a quick walk to The Ramblas. We made a reservation for The Attick (restaurant) for tomorrow night, and then sat on The Ramblas eating Tapas and drinking Sangria! Bryan had never drank Sangria… so was an experience for him.
We then took a stroll back up the Ramblas and back to the hotel on the Metro.
All in all, a very fab day to start the holiday!
