Day 5 - Barcelona Spain

Well today was a quite day.... two reasons for that, the first was that it was a travel day which ment we spent most of the day sitting on our bums in the coach, the other was that about 15 people on the bus where throwing up and had the runs because of a stomach bug that is going around Paris (or at least the camp site we stayed at).

It all started at 6am... well for Megan and I any way, as we didn´t get the bug, but for those that did, first call was 4am. Those that got the bug weren´t alot of use as you can imagine, but we have a really good group of people on the tour so every one that was fine pulled together to pull the camp down and pack the bus. Packing the bus was interesting as the bus driver was on the dunny as he got sick to... but we got under way on time. We had to stop evey hour or so for the driver and others to us the bathroom, after the second stop, our tour manager organised another driver for us, which sped up the trip....

Not much to say about the trip really, just driving across the country side. we did stop at an old Roman Aquaduct... still standing and still in pretty good condition given that its been standing for about 1950 years give or take... really amazing to see what they could accomplish way back then, and makes me wonder where we would be if there had been no darkage...

Finally made it into Barcelona, it was fine when we pulled up, but as we where putting up the tents it started to rain, seems to be the way things work on our trip... but it cleared up pretty soon after, so it wasn´t to bad...

That was about it for the day... mostly just travelling really....
