Transport hick-ups

Well, we´ve struck our first major transport problems. We were hoping to catch an overnight train to Barcelona, but there´s nothing available for days...if then. We´ve looked at day trains and different routes. We´ve looked at flights and ferries. All have been too expensive or not available. Instead, we´ve gone for a hire car. This is costing us 150 Euros for three days but it can´t be helped. We are hoping that we won´t strike this problem too much. School holidays have brought a lot of people down to the Costa del Sol so this might explain the problem. We´ve had a quick look at trains from Barcelona and it doesn´t look too good at the moment. We´ll sort something out I´m sure.

We´ve also just seen that British Airways staff are striking next week that could effect our friends getting to Croatia. All fun and games. At the end of the day, we are on holiday and just have to make the most of things. It might just hit the budget a bit more than we hoped.

At least the second part of our trip (Turkey and Egypt) is mostly on tours so we won´t have to arrange anything there and we know what the costs are.

By the way, we didn´t do much today. Went to the beach briefly and tried to organise our journey. It was still quite enjoyable though.
