Ola Barcelona!

Spent 5 days in sunny Barcelona last week with Sof and Jackie, where we ate, shopped and ate some more. Here's a link to our pics:



So we had made a lunch booking at El Cellar de Can Roca, a restaurant "to visit at all costs" according to the LV guide. Since El Cellar was in Girona, a town about 1 1/2 hours away from Barcelona, we thought it would be fun to hire a car and drive out. On discovering that apart from having to drive on the other side of the road, the car that we had hired was manual, had no petrol, and no map, it did not seem like such a good idea after all...

S: So the pedals, are they the same? Like clutch on the left, then the brake?
Very worried looking man: Errmmm... there are actually 3 pedals...

The poor man ended up driving us to get petrol, then back to his office to get a map, before sending us on our way, probably expecting never to see his car again...
