Bajai Body Camp 11.26: Day 324
Thursday April 26, 2018
BCN Hostal
Barcelona, Spain
17.74% anxious

This morning started around 03:00 at the hostal. I was plotting my course to the train station. Would I get a Cabify (ride share), metro, taxi, or walk. I didn't know if I could trust any of these choices... but walking seemed like the best option. 41-45 minutes with my bags.

I love Renfe trains. 2.5 hours from Barcelona to Madrid.

I opted for Cabify but left enough time to walk, just in case.

Good plan as it turned out. There were no Cabify drivers answering the request. So I walked... nearly 45 minutes. Happily there were signs along the way so I didn't have to rely on Google maps.

Always time for tea.

I arrived at the station just as the announcement for the departure was being made. It was a nice ride with the company of an interesting veterinarian seated next to me. I felt that the universe was paying me back for kielbasa boy.

A lot of walking today. Meet up with Ginger and eventually Lorraine and Alex also.
