Celebrities tour Barcelona


Life has to be fun and a bit scary at times this was one of those.
I think they make you wear these hats, just to have a laugh and make people stare, snigger and take photo's.
3 wheels, no gears, no foot controls as I had not ever driven a bike this was going to be an experience.  This wa madness putting me in charge of this bug, in the busy city of Barcelona !!  Well, we survived, saw the sights and found our way around, more by Linda's map reading than the sat nav.
Unfortunately the sat nav voice was more interested in telling us about the sights, than which lane we should be in and of little help when we went wrong or were prevented from going down a road such as the Las Ramblas.  A further update later

Go Cars

Here we go in a little 3 wheeler letting us loose on the roads of Barcelona. It will be great seeing parts of the city we have not visited so far. It will be really fun having our own personally guided tour.

Racist Luggage Rules

The 3 of us were on the same booking on Easy Jet and only took 1 hold luggage case between us . We didn't realise that we could not only aggregate the weight limit but that one case can weigh up to 32 kilo's thats 12 kilo's more than the 1 person maxium weight of 20k before paying excess at no extra charge.

Then for the first time, my hand luggage was measured just before I boarded, the case just fitted in on height width and length. But I was was allowed to take on the carrier bag I had in my other hand with no questions asked, so much for the 1 piece of hand luggage rule.

Perhaps it was because the case was black!
