The holiday begins!

This morning we left our 'green and pleasant land'


on a British Airways flight from London City.


The fligth was very pleasant; we were even served a hot breakfast


and two people who may remain nameless had a gin&tonic at 9:40 am, and not just any gin but 'export strength', 47.3% proof!



Ricardo ([livejournal.com profile] bazanges ) was bemused by the lady sitting behing him who couldn't stop talking about money and her 5 star accommodation but chose to travel economy


We got to Barcelona 15 minutes ahead of schedule


and we arrived in Sitges at 1:30 pm.

A lazy afternoon relaxing
 

and going to the supermercado


Roy will be arriving late tonight and tomorrow hopefully we'll spend the day on the beach (2 people may be recovering from a G&T hang-over as they are on their 4th now).

Thank you! Looking forward to reading yours later in the year.

Oh yes, now that you mention it I recall reading it on your blog.

Aargh. I have always wanted to go to Sitges. Enjoy.

Is this the first time for the new terminal at BCN? How did you like it?

The first time we arrive at the new terminal (we flew back from there last year).
It's great: so roomy!

Oh, those two nameless people! ;)

What, none of the gay men has commented on the last-but-one photo yet? :P

Have always wanted to go to Barcelona - or perhaps Bearcelona...? :-)

[identity profile] london1967.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You should definitely pay a visit some time!

Have a wonderful week. Keep your eyes open for David and Gary from Toronto who are there for the week as well.

Thank you, Bob!
Are they the guys we met at your place?

[identity profile] bobalone.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that was a different couple. Adrian is a friend of Gary's on FB, I think: Gary Speedie. He and his partner, David, live in Toronto, though they are retired and travel a lot. This is their first visit to Sitges. If you like, I can send you their email. Just let me know.

[identity profile] london1967.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. I asked Adrian but he said that he doesn't know Gary on FB.
Please feel free to give them our e-mail address.

[identity profile] bobalone.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I just sent Gary your email address. Hopefully you all will find each other. Gary and David are staying in a hotel, I think.

Thank you, Bob!
We have just replied to an e-mail from them.
