Estamos Aqui

We have been here for one sleep so far and i must say it was a lovely sleep. We really don´t seem to be suffering jet lag AT ALL (cross fingers)- probably because we travelled 12 1/2hours in the night so managed to sleep somehow, except for poor Max - he got airsick and was up every 20 mins for the big night trip. He was really ready to sleep the night we got here.

We had our first and only travelling disaster (almost)on arrival in Barcelona. On disembarking we were sort of at the front of the queue and just followed the signs to baggage collection.(instead of following people) and ended up in a different baggage collection area. The only way we could get to the one where our bags were was to go outside completely and then enter again as if fly off again. Needless to say there was a lot of security checking and hand gestures and ticket waving - but we managed to get our luggage finally and leave. Apart from that adventure it was a very good, on time and bearable trip a bit long but I think we were so bouyed up we managed it all in good humour.

We saw an Easter Procession yesterday with the full statue carrying in the streets, people dressed in Klu Klux Klan-like costumes and snare drum bands.
