Getting out of Barcelona

Tuesday morning, There is no such thing as free lunch, but a breakfast...

Mika:
Woke up in ACYH way too early. Some asshole had left their f$+£/\") Iphone alarm clock on, and this time the alarm desided to work. (Remember 2010?) I had talked with my roommates earlier, but this morning everybody was blaming eachother. (You should know, from earlier on, that Janina was sleeping in another room) "Is that your iphone Ralph?" "No it isn't I changed my alarm sound" "Is it yours Mika?" "Definately not as I have a Linux phone, but I would like to know whos is it. Or can somebody shut it down, before I shut...?"

Well it seemed nobody could, as the owner had already left for the city center earlier. Everybody at Janina's room had woken up also as she came to my bed. She had slept again like a baby until the alarm.

On the other hand it was good to wake up early. We went to the shower and then headed outside to find the buffet breakfast. We found one really good with only 8 euros per each. Yam.




After the breakfast we came back to the hostel to send a few couchrequests, write the blog and wash our laundry. Earlier we had heard that there were some Gaudi architecture in the city and we wanted to see the buildings before leaving. Because it is August everyone in Europe are on holiday and you could really see that from the ques. So we saw the big church Sagrada Familia and one of the houses only from the outside.

They were having a pottery exhibition that was free inside one of the Gaudi buildings at a small area. We got inside for a quick stroll. Pottery was boring to Janina and I was more interested in the setup than the content. No pictures policy was strict. But the buildings were really strange.










Then it was time to leave again. We took the metro out of the city, near the big hospital.



We walked to a gasstation that was quite small. Actually it was so small that it was hard to get in with our backbags.



We were trying to HH with our cartboards written to Malaga and forward but nobody took us. I made a cartboard that had just the name of the next small town Sitges. I saw on the map that there is an autobahn payment station there. Two local costruction workers took us soon and they were going there. When we got to the payment station I tried to explain we want to get out there. We didn't have a language together. They told us that it illegal to stand there and Police will take us. So they didn't want to stop there.





Well we went to Sitges on the side of a traffic circle leading to the autobahn towards Malaga and newer got a ride there. Well Janina got the attention of younger dudes all the time but not a ride.





After getting to know a local kitten living in a box nearby the circle, Janina said it is enough and we headed towards the beach. But on the way I saw on the map that there is a trainstation nearby. We went to ask for long distance trains there but it was a local station. The last station outside of Barcelona would have a long distance train. So we headed there. Once we got there we realized the only train was towards Madrid so not straight to Malaga and would be too expensive. So we went for the beach and camping as we were reminded many times it's illegal to camp otherwise.




That evening we got out of Barcelona only about 50 kilometres. A really bad HH day.
