Well it’s our final and sad day today in Barcelona. We were up a bit later this morning, partly because we didn’t have any driving to do, but mostly because all our heads were a bit fuzzy from last nights celebrations!!
After brekkie we decided to have a look round Barcelona, and take Curry Thunder out for a final spin.
First stop, the Nou Camp, second stop a big Cathedral, both were pretty spectacular, although the home of FC Barcelona does remind me a little of MK Dons stadium….
Traffic was quite heavy so we decided it was time to get to the scrap yard, as we left the Cathedral the heavens opened and the worst rain (actually the only real rain) we saw descended on Barcelona. The roads soon became like rivers but the thunder rolled on, never missing a beat.
We made it to the scrappy at 2 but it didn’t open till 3 so a quick check of the Tom Tom found us the nearest McDonalds, and after a quick Big Mac we took our chariot back to Hierros Saiz scrap yard. After a bit of queuing and chatting with some of the other Bangers, documents changed hands and Curry Thunder was officially laid to rest. Fortunately her new owners gave us 50 euros for her so that paid for the taxi to the airport and the first round in the bar J
Were all a bit sad to have had to let the car go really, it has been a joy to drive and I’d thoroughly recommend getting a Volvo for that type of journey. Testimony to that I the fact that there were at least 4 other Volvos in the rally, all slightly different but they all made it. Quality!
So were sat in the airport all exhausted but all with a sense of achievement!
Russ also managed to find a new breed of bird that seem to be resident in Barcelona, Monkey Birds…hmmm
All for now, I’ll do the last post tomorrow when I’m back in blighty!
