It was a wonderful cruise, but all good things must come to an end. We got off the ship around 8:30am, stood in line for a taxi for 30 minutes then rode straight to our hotel, the Travelodge in the Poblenou section of Barcelona. We then stored our baggage and went out to get our bearings. The main goal was to find a money exchange as our cache of euros was very low. We were advised that the best location for money exchange was downtown Barcelona, on La Rambla<\/a> – “The Ramble”, the main street of Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought we should take the subway, both because it would be the fastest way to get there and because, as a transportation geek, I wanted to see the subway system. But Marlene wanted to walk. So we walked. It was a nice day. We made it to the Parc de la Ciutadella<\/a> before we got distracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not get a single photo of La Rambla, but I am sure you can find many. It is a famous boulevard. I did get some of the old town, the “Gothic Quarter<\/a>.” I also snapped one of the statue of Columbus that stands at the harbor end of La Rambla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a long day of walking and we were feeling bloated from the cruise, so we went to bed without our supper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
