on sea and in barcelona

the cold went on because our cabin stayed rather cold until the next morning until the sun heated it through our window. our cabin was on fido road and near the outside area fido park.. 

our cabin and shower area were larger then on other boats, when the sun started shining it became even nice. we had breakfast in our cabin near marseilles.

at the back of this ferry are 2 sitting areas in and outside, near the pools and a bar and snackbar. these areas are dog allowed so we could stay there comfortably.

there was a clear blue sky and still big waves. but the boat went trough it well, while we were looking at the passing coastline of spain.

after starting 4 hours late, we arrived only 2,5 hours late at 18:00 in the barcelona harbour.

then while riding to our appartment we got a flat tire and my handbag was robbed!

first we only had the problem of changing tires but after finding the appartment and the owner jep showed us the parking garage, we could not find my handbag and understood that something strange had happened!

later we understood that somebody put his knife in our tire while we were waiting for traffic lights and turning the corner we heared we had to park because we had a flat tire. then while coskun was changing the tire and I was helping him, somebody came to us and said that we were not allowed to stand there in spanish and later trying other languages. this conversation took quite long and during that time we both were looking at this man and not at our car. then it must have happened that somebody else opened a door and took my handbag out! we just said to ourselfes only one man warning us and nobody offering to help or anything. what kind of people live here?

later we understood that everybody here is quite afraid and is just minding their own busseness, not wanting to talk, or help, or change money for you, being afraid that you attemp to lose their attention and rob them!

after finding the appartment and the owner we walked together to the police station, blocked my cards and credit cards and together with an interpretor a statement was written by the police.

it was good that I made pictures of all our cards and passports a.s.o. in my Ipad, so we can at least show what we had! and that I had the Ipad not in my handbag but in the front of the car because we use it as a map in a place like barcelona (thanks to joop who told me that the app HERE excists and I can use this with GPS but without internet).
