The Long Road (Flight) Home

This is the last posting to the blog. Time to go home.

I left Barcelona at 10:30AM Wednesday morning and landed in Melbourne at 7:15PM Thursday evening. Both times are local times, so that is a total journey time of 22 hours and 45 minutes. I had 2 sunsets on the way.


At Singapore Airport they have set up an area specifically for watching the World Cup. Many of the food shops and bars at the airport have multiple screens for watching the football too.




Yibida yibida - that's all folks. I hope you enjoyed reading the blog as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

The Shadow of the Wind - Las Ramblas

These 2 pictures show what the Ramblas in Barcelona looks like at 7 in the morning - before the buskers, "human statues", florists, artists and tourists all arrive! It's quite serene and normal. A couple of joggers went past and a couple of the vendors were starting to set up their stalls.

When Daniel first went to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books it was at 5Am, and it wasn't in summer either.
