Day 6: Last day in Barcelona and meeting our intrepid travel group for the Barcelona to Rome Intrepid Adventure (15 days)

Despite our best effort, sleeping in was a bust. We were down at breakfast by 8am and then the process to sort out our booking transition was much easier than the trip advisor reviews led us to believe – we handed over the old room cards, settled the room bill and they reissued new ones. No problems! We had to do this because we are now officially on day 1 of our intrepid tour…weeeee. Day 1 is mostly people arriving at the hotel from their home country though so it’s still an exploring day for us.

Little exploring was done though. After breakfast we did some hand washing then…had a siesta. Post-siesta we went back to Les Ramblas for people watching and delicious sangria, cerveza (beer) and pizza. Mmmmm. Plus churros and chocolate sauce. More mmmm. Sine we then had until 7pm until our meet and greet, we siesta-d some more. Basically, it was an extremely lazy day. 

  
We met our very small intrepid group at 7pm. It consists of us, a couple from Canada around our parents age (at a guess) and another young lady from Australia on her first overseas trip. We have a fifth person joining us in a few days as well. Our tour guide is Andrea and he’s from Italy, he seems very well travelled and has been working for intrepid for 3 years. After our brief run through it was back to bed/dinner/exploring for the group before a 10am checkout tomorrow. We took the bed option….a very, very lazy day! 

Steps taken: 6905

Kilometres walked: 4.8km

Tomorrow: As a group, we are off to Ribes de Freser to explore the Nuria Valley

P.S. No wifi for the next few days so will upload more posts and what I’m guessing will be some pretty photos once we return to civilisation πŸ™‚
