By the time we dropped off our bags it was time for dinner. We were tired and didn’t want to go far, so we settled on this Japanese restaurant just up the street. It had nice ambience, and the food was relatively decent.

Next we wandered the streets to some other fine looking attractions, many of which I cannot recall. However, it was good enough just to be walking down the European streets, admire the buildings and absorbing the culture. It was a surreal experience.

Our hotel lobby had the strangest, most pungent smell of filth imaginable. Imagine vomit crossed with sewerage soaked up in a wet rag and left in a dark corner for a week (the smell did get better though). We were early so we couldn’t check in yet, so we gladly went back outside and had some fries and waffles across the road. It was actually quite scrumptious. The waffles we had were Brussels waffles, not Belgian waffles. Take it from me – the latter are much better than the former.

The flight to Barcelona was relatively smooth, about 2 hours. I had my Xanax, my PSP and The Book Thief, so I was occupied the entire journey. We disembarked at around 1:30pm I think, and caught a series of trains/metro to our hotel at Jaume I (strangely, there are no other Jaumes on the Metro). After settling in the 4 star H10 Montcada, we mapped out our adventures for the rest of the day.

How could we be in Pisa without having some pizza? So we did, at a nearby tourist-targeting restaurant. Pizza with salty sausage and a ham and mushroom calzone (different to and nowhere near as good as the heavenly ones we enjoyed in Barcelona). It was average, but we were starving, so it did the job.

Speaking of hotel, the one we booked was sensational. It has the narrowest, most obese-unfriendly lift I have ever seen! But to its credit, the room’s doors are lined with blue and gold (the colour of the Indiana Pacers), so I knew it was a good omen.

We spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon wandering the Venetian streets, really not caring too much where the narrow streets and plethora of bridges took us. We enjoyed large single pizza slices from two separate joints (delicious!) and ended up seeing most of the sites we wanted to see (though most were closed), at least from the outside. It was just a relaxing, fun-filled day.
