We pulled into port and went straight off to hunt for a room. It was Saturday, and we had some difficulty finding a vacant hotel. Finally we just went to a no-name pension that was closest to us, on the fifth floor (no elevator), and got a decent room with recycled newspaper in our trash basket, pictured below.

This is a good idea for guesthouse owners that would eliminate the need for bags for trash baskets and while shopping. We relaxed for the rest of the night.

Today we were out on the town. We went up Mont Juic by funicular and cable car took in the view of Barcelona and the sea below and soaked up the sun we had missed for so long. Momo got a chance to play with her Dad's spring-smelling sandals.
