The bus ride was long and the driver played really weird music, but we finally made it to Barcelona this morning. Early in the morning. So, we waited at the train station for dawn at least before lugging our bags around town. It took us quite a while wandering through the Old City looking for our hostel, during which we began to get a feel for the city.

After all the excitement from the yesterday, all four of us slept like babies. We woke up and had breakfast in our hostel before gathering our belongings and heading out.
