Our first venture out into the centre of Barcelona today. We started the day by visiting the Glories Shopping Centre close to our hotel where Sara wanted to buy some socks and Thom needed some new pants. We visited H&M where these purchaes as well as a new scarf for Mary were acquired. I say acquired because as we were leaving the shop the alarm went off as Sara walked through the scanner. We returned inside to discover that the pants had been neither scanned nor paid for! They had, howver, been put into the shop's bag by the assistant. More discussions took place in rapid Spanish and eventually the problem was resolved, I gave Sara the extra money and we went on our way. After a breakfast of coffee and donuts we took the Metro to La Rambla and wondered around this area, the adjacent streets, the cathedral and down to the waterside. We ate lunch in a little cafe off the La Ramba in the old city close to the cathedral. Instead of eating out this evening we bought some groceries from Carrefour and had a picnic supper in our room with wine.
