Beach Party

A travelblog remembers a 1998 trip to Spain.

Thursday morning, and we decided to take advantage of some of the many sports provided, and hit the beach for a little windsurfing. We were warned that it was a little bit too windy for beginners, but that didn’t stop us making fools of ourselves trying to stand up for half an hour! We had booked a trip called Barcelona By Night for that afternoon, and at 2pm we boarded the coach. Our guide spoke fluently in at least 85 different languages, and left no landmark unmentioned on the hour and a half trip to Barcelona. Our itinerary was more than was mentioned in the brochure, and our first stop was the Barcelona Football Stadium. We joined the throngs of hardened football supporters, and spent the next 45 minutes wondering why people would pay to sit and look at a lawn. It was about as exciting as watching grass grow, and the coolness of the ice-rink proved too great a temptation.
