Epic accidental discovery in Barcelona

We get off the train in Barcelona feet dragging and bleary eyed. Suddenly Liz yells out "Jess iovannella?" yep we have a screaming girls reunion at the train station. After the excitement dies down because we didn't know they were going to be here, we head to our hostels and arrange to meet later. Do later comes and we head off to find their hotel. The streets of Barcelona are a tad crazy. Men everywhere making comments as you walk past. After about an hour of wrong turns and asking people we find their hotel. We are jealous - a gigantic shower, beautiful beds, robes, buffet breakfast... They've pt it all. It's about 1 am and we're all pretty tired but excited to see each other so we go out for some late night tapas- true spanish style. The tapas are great- calamari, chicken, potato balls, frittata, salads, oil soaked bread and proscuitto, chorizo and tandoori accompanied of course by sangria. We are leaving the next morning for Madrid so again we separate and this time it's for good...until we get back to Melbourne anyway.
