Our friend, Lesley, headed back to London this morning under cloudy skies. The threatening rain arrived soon after and settled in for the day - so we did too. Caught up on some reading, did a bit of research for the coming days and contemplated what to have for dinner.

Weather still slightly damp but improving. After lunch we headed back to La Rambla and the Museu d'Historia de Barcelona. They have unearthed many of the ancient foundations and ruins of the Roman town of Barca, and pats of buildings from the times of the Visigoths, the Moors and more recent history. The excavations extend under the Plaça del Rei. The exit is through the Ducal Palace and the huge room where Ferdinand and Isabella received Christopher Columbus after her returned from the new world. Truly amazing.

Easy trip to Barcelona airport but more sitting and waiting of course. Easy too from Frankfurt airport to city centre. The Fleming Deluxe Hotel is very nice and we're in the newer renovated section. The old part of the hotel has an operating pater noster lift - yes, go and look it up. Incredible.
