Anne and Neil's trip to Barcelona was uneventful. We should have flown to Valencia but Ryanair cancelled the flights, presumably due to the credit crunch and lower demand. Margaret should have come too but, in October, she had a stroke. Although now much recovered, she was still not well enough to travel or get insurance. We booked a hire car through Centauro and drove to our accommodation near Vinarós.
Our journey to Stansted in the small hours was uneventful. There was a Pink Elephant bus waiting to take us to the airport building so we didn't need to wait in a queue in the freezing cold. In fact it was relatively mild. Our flight was more or less on time and we were soon on the bus to take us to the terminal building in Barcelona. Neil told me later that he was assaulted during this ride by a small child who alternately sneezed and coughed right into his face. Cover your mouth darling when you cough, said mum but to little effect. Neil was convinced he was going to succumb to this virus in three days time. I hadn't noticed the child so I was relaxed. Eventually we found our car hire desk right at the far end of the arrivals hall. Once we had the car, we telephoned Mark and Louise to let them know we were on our way. Mark arranged to meet us outside the apartment which Neil had located on his GPS. It took us 2 hours 30 minutes.
We went inside and unpacked, had a sandwich and a little sleep. Then we went for a short walk to get our bearings, had some soup and another sandwich and went to sleep for the night. We think Mini would have been cold in this apartment as the heaters are relatively small apart from the one in Neil’s room. I suppose she could have had that one on all the time to keep the chill off.
