#26 Barcelona

Hello everyone, if there is anyone reading this? I arrived in Barcelona around 5 p.m. My reservation at the hostel got messed up by the Hostel and they had to move me to another hostel of theirs, so right now I'm in a room with 2 young girls (18 yrs old), 1 Canadian and 1 British. They will be here for a week so at least I won't be getting different roommates everyday like I was in Madrid. There have been a lot of robberies here in Barcelona - mostly pickpockets and grab & runs - so I have to be very diligent watching my stuff. Barcelona is another big city with a metro. I took the Metro from the bus station to the hostel and then the hostel gave me money to pay for a taxi from the first Hostel to the new one they sent me to. Nice of them to do that for me. I met a very nice girl at the first hostel and we made arrangements to meet for a walking tour tomorrow morning. She is Australian and is going to stay in Seville for a few months to learn Spanish. She just came from Croatia and loved it and is willing to give me info on what I should do if I go there to visit, which I think I want to do. It's still monsoons in India so I know I need to delay going there so if I go to Croatia and Turkey, I think the timing will work out just fine. I'll write again tomorrow and tell you how the sightseeing goes here. Love, Marie
