Iron man 2 in Spanish, bloody foreign birds and the ferry to Italy
Friday was checkout day so we dossed about in the room til 12. We then left our bags with reception and went for a wander down the sants area. We found a local market all market traders seem the same no matter where you are in the world!
We then ate our packed lunches on a bench and found a little pub to watch the bike racing we had a few beers here to kill time. We already had checked the cinema times for iron man 2 and knew we had till 4pm. We got to the cinema and in our pigeon spanish managed to order a ticket for the film. We kind of got the jist of the film even though it was all in spanish. Plus you dont need much knowledge of spanish to appreciate scarlett johanson's fitness ;) .
After the film we went for a kfc, as barcelona speaks catalan everything was different from madrid so we pointed and managed to our 2 pieces of chicken. We then went to the hipermercado to get our tea for the next day. I grabbed a 6 pack of san miguel for the journey. On our way to the hotel i got hit with bird s*** on my newly washed jeans! Thats one a piece for me and copey, its supposed to be good luck so fingers crossed. We collected our bags from the hotel and then hit the port, to collect our boarding passes, we went through the laxest security we had seen in the world. Didnt check our passports or really bother scanning or checking our bags.
We boarded the ferry and we found our room in cabin 8054. We walked passed a few open cabins and saw that they were 4 beds in there bunk bed style. We got to our cabin one deck up and only our beds where down. I hoped we had just us in there as they had left 2 towels, copey wanted to wait to find out so we did. We were due to leave at 22:15 so we wandered top deck to view the departure. Copey disappeared and i was determined to watch us leave. I waited and waited a load of wagons where boarding, i waited till 23:45 then we finally left. I watched barcelona disappear in the distance then hit the sack.
