Mas que solamente ciudad, Barcelona. My amazing Spanish skills

I clearly could not accept the fact that our trip to Italy was cancelled, went online and bought tickets to Barcelona for a week.

This time we had purchased Ryanair's Priority Boarding so that in addition to a purse we could take a small suitcase with us on board. Along with our paid hand luggage, we got the right to priority board the plane. Turned out, only on paper. Until the gate, the situation was actually promising - two lanes - one for cattle carrying purses and the other one for the priority tourists who had paid the mentioned 20 euros. After the boarding pass check, both queues landed on the same stairs, and when the terminal door was finally opened, the whole crowd began to move towards the plane at once.

The flight was relatively uneventful for a Ryanair flight. Apart from a couple of heavy turbulence, there was nothing really significant. The departure was delayed by around an hour, so instead of half past midnight, we arrived at half past one at night, and moved through the fairly dark and completely empty airport.

They gave us the wrong room at the hotel, but promised to change it the next day. We went to our room and fell asleep.

By noon today, Scott had been dealing with getting the new room, and we moved from our slightly dark street-facing room on the second floor to a much more spacious room on the sunrise side and with court yard views on the seventh floor.

After finishing the working day, we left the hotel and made the first stop at the nearest tapas bar on the street corner and ate the first tapas. Since I have some difficulties using the English names of Spanish foods, I placed our order in Spanish and apparently impressed the waitress with my "authentic pronunciation".

We also walked to our churro joint because they had just advertised churro dogs a week ago. However, it turned out that the mentioned dogs are a delicacy only served on weekend nights. But gosh, their churro filled with dulce de leche is just out of this world. Quick stop in Starbucks and two mugs and one coffee drink later we got back to the hotel.
