Girona
Travel days - Avila to Girona. First it’s Avila to Madrid bus by bus and metro to the airport. That all went fine. Bit of an interesting day. Bus to Madrid was fine then our plane was delayed by 3 hours apparently by the French air traffic controllers industrial action. But the highlight had to be the last minute change of gate. We had initially been at one gate when the flight was cancelled then we had to change gate but just before the supposed boarding they changed the gate- so David went into this “the race is on” mode - along with many others. What a hoot racing from one gate to another - quite a distance apart. We did improve our place in the line - quite good with Ryanair as no seats are allocated so first on first serve. Having said that people start standing in queues ¾ hour before the flight!
As we arrived so late in Girona we didn’t really look around that much and decided to head off to Barcelona as early as possible rather than look around Girona - we were ready to settle into the next location. The train suspensions from Girona to Barcelona were a little unsettling as the bus didn’t leave until 2:30 which meant filling in 4 hours, but caught one only ¾ hour wait.
Enjoyed the musical entertainment while having tea.
