From Barcelona to home overland

Brian and I are leaving Barcelona for home, he on his motorbike, me on the train.  We will be meeting up at Toulouse, Limoges and St Malo and getting the ferry together before an overnight at Weymouth and the final leg home, again by train and bike.

Journey 1

I managed the metro, from Llacuna to Sants Estacio changing at Verdaguer from L4 to L5. A very heavy bag and oppressive heat reduced mobility but I managed by taking lifts and escalators where possible and dragging the bag up and downstairs where necessary. On arrival at the train station I found I had to go through a baggage security check as well as two ticket checks. I shouldn't have been surprised as it was an international train but it was fortunate I got there early as there was quite a queue for the second ticket check. The train arrived and I found my coach (3) and seat (10a) which was a solo seat by the window. Classical music playing in the background, air conditioning and a display showing temperature and speed as well as time and journey information - shame the journey is only 53 minutes to Figueres! Good so far....
