Girona, Spain

One of the 'catches' to flying Ryan Air is that they often fly in to obscure out of the way airports. For instance, while flying to Barcelona from Goteborg return cost us about $50 each, the plane didn't actually go to Barcelona. Rather, it lands at a less known airport about one hundred kilometers away in Girona. Turns out this is not necessarily a bad thing at all. Girona is an ancient walled city originally built by the Romans (I think). We haven't explored it yet, as we just arrived last night, but we will this afternoon. I booked a rental car (Scoda, Octavio) which we picked up at the airport and then drove to our reserved hotel. Of course, we got lost on the way.... darkness and construction made finding our hotel a bit of a challenge - but we made it.
