We had a ferry to catch from Mallorca to Barcelona &#8211; another new experience for us. Despite being a long journey, we were comfortable in our pullman seats and it went remarkably quicker than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona immediately had an appeal which excited me(us). We navigated our way to the hotel relatively easily by bus and the metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in SA, Roy had patiently waited to book a surprise evening at a special venue to celebrate my birthday, however, as is common in July :-), it started raining and sadly we had to change the outdoor plans (managed to reschedule for Wednesday night though) Plan B was now to find somewhere to eat in a new city\u2026We were blessed to come across a Spanish Tapas bar, La Nonna Delia, which had an appealing selection of meals and we enjoyed a delicious supper outside (rain had stopped). We decided to try something different for dessert and headed to The Chocolate Box where I delved into Churros con Chocolate (churros with a cup of chocolate sauce for dipping) \u2026mmmm, no words needed. Roy had his usual scoops of gelato. I could get used to a summer birthday in Europe\u2026where to next year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
