Rude people!
Slept in this morning, then we all got up to leave and start the fun drive to Tarragona. Again, a boring drive and not much to report. But we're stopping here because we couldn't get the apartment in Barcelona for a night, and Tarragona is only like an hour away from Barcelona.
When we got into town, Mom called the hotel to get …
