High up somewhere... somehow... there happens to be a castle there for everyone.... one that u might have thought about when u are in school daydreaming... one that u might have pretended while u were playing in kindergarten.. one that along the way u woke up... growing up you somehow forgotten... but when u close ur eyes it starts again... thinking of it... living it... fulfilling it... building that castle even if its jus in the Clouds...

A little adventure we called it. A little adventure where we stayed out at the bus station and airport for the whole night without a roof over our heads and a lock to keep us safe. The little adventure started at 9am and shock no. 1 the train was cancelled and we have 4mins to rush and catch another one to take us to Barcelona eventually with 2 transits instead of 1. Technically the route to Barcelona is 6 hours journey with 1 transit. Shock no. 2 caught the train brought us to Transit no. 1 and again the connecting train was cancelled. Now with 3 transits with total waiting time for connecting trains added up to 4 and a half hour… It ended up to be a 12 hours journey. The train employees are on strike resulting to the cancellation of trains. But hello I need to be in Barcelona by today to catch my flight to Rome tomorrow morning for goodness sake.

Composing this in the waiting room at Transit no. 2 to kill time and while my frustration is still in me. What’s more? I am waiting to find out. If this entry didn’t end up posted, simply means I am no longer in one piece on the little adventure.

This little adventure of ours had a bad ending. Yes I am still in one piece in Rome now but 1 piece of possession short. There is this syndicate of blacks at Barcelona Nord Bus Station where we waited for the shuttle to the airport. They worked in a group with one doing the recee, 2 on the job and the rest on the look out. They distracted your attention by dropping something in the opposite direction of your bags and the other asshole took it from your back! Alvin gave chase to no avail and we found them loitering around. Apparently, they have already passed the bag to their accomplice. Confronted them with the security guard but to what use. We even saw them doing the act again right in front of us. They are in a group and who knows how many of them are around? Totally helpless. When I was cancelling my credit cards, impressed there were already transactions. Who is kind enough to fly over with cash? Just joking. We are fine. Feel like going home now, though we are looking forward to Italy all this while. Hai.. Dampen our spirit but we will learn and move on from this unfortunate event.

Trying to cheer up..
