on 14th nov09, we get up at 4:15AM and got ready for the trip,myself and madhan...Walked to ANTWERP station and got train at 5:40 AM and went to Charleroi station. Came out of the station at 7:30 and waited for the shuttle serivce to airport as we already booked ticket for that too. Flight time is 8:30AM, so we planned to wait until 8 for the shuttle or else taxi. Its a 20min travel from there.Upto 7:50 no bus. That time i got a shock that i saw a recently married indian couple(that lady is so beautiful and cant move my eyes out) came up for the same shuttle service to go to airport.Thing s, that guy exactly resembles my HR and i thought of to go n talk as like am talking with(that much similar).They also in the same fear that shuttle will not come in time and they kept an eye on us(indians na). Then we moved to get a taxi and one taxi came near and we asked for airport trip and he said 20euros and we accepted (too costly but no way na).When we get in, that pair approach us and asked they too to join and we said yes and we four went to airport in 15 mins. But they talked something different language i dont know.
we shared the amount and we rushed to boarding and got VISA checked and went to security checking and put all watch,purse,jerkin etc to separate basket and checked. There my jerkin slipped down and i didnt notice and took all others and moved and then i remembered jerkin and came again there n still there in that place(cant forgot those things:) ). Then we moved to the gateway and stand in queue to get in. As this is a private airport we can walk in the ground itself to get into the flight. we two get in and settled in a place and when i look back, the same pair sat there and just smiled. Flight started at 8:30 with lot shakes and reached the destination GIRONA airport in spain at 10:30. we got down and came out and got a shuttle to reach barcelona(city centre).we got tickets and and get into the bus n moved to last seat. On moving we saw same pair still coming with us. That is a 1 1/2 hour travel and reached barcelona bus depo and moved to tourist information guide and got the route map of barcelona and enquired how to reach n get tickets and also got tickets for hop on hop off bus. Next to us, that pair too came up and enquired and they went to a hotel to stay i think so and they said bye.
There are about 44 places to see around there and we went to a nearest destination, parc with zoo. Our first site seeing itself a very wonderful place with very nice building with fountain inside park and a big elephant statue. Then by walk itself we moved to next site,museum and skipped that and went to IMAX port well. We checked for movies and every movie s only 40 min show and we planned to see the last show 11:20PM since we have a first bus from barcelona to girona airport at 3:30AM and flight at 6:30AM. so we got tickets for the IMAX show and we get into the hop on bus and there are two routes red and blue each having diff places and bus also in blue and red for each. But lot of buses for each route so its easy to skip and move to next. Then we get into bus and visited next a church. i must remember and tell about that church. That church is a famous unbuilt church which was stated construction at 1892 and still they are constructing, in the middle it was stopped because of no fund to raise as it is that much big and so architectual works in that church. Still that church looks like an unbuilt one but u can see a full view of whole art and just stand still by seeing that. so nice and very tall one. see pics in orkut.. As spain s famous for the architural building and art there are lot of buildings with so nice art. Next we skipped some places and went to a place called Park Guill. Its a cave like construction with lot pillars inside and its in a mountain. Very beautiful landscape and caves inside and we moved to that top and saw the whole view of the city and still some routes there to go up but we have no time as time was 4:30 and we get into bus and moved to a next place called Estacie de sants which s a play area and in the guide the pics were so nice, so we went there and get down and bus left. later only we came to know that is still in construction but can able to see the view since almost completed. Then we get into next bus and moved.
As sunlight down, we cant able to see lot places and from bus itself we saw just places and clicked photos and finally we get down from bus at 6:30 and went to shpping and roamed. But time didnt go as we booked movie only at 11:20. Just we sat upto 9:45 and get bored and planned to cancel the ticket and asked in counter and they accepted and returned amount and immediately we went to a near by cinema complex and we got tickets for 2012 movie at 10 PM. As it is a 2 n 1/2 hr movie, so time went upto 1 and we came to barcelona bus depo. But i could see lot of traffic still at 1 in road and all bars are very busy and queue waited for next to go in.... We just sit in depo upto 3 30 and got bus and reached airport and getinto flight and started to charleroi airport and from shuttle we went to charleroi station and got train for antwerp station where we staying and reached room at 11:30AM next morning... Barcelona is best to visti as lot places there but one day is surely not enough...
