The trenhotel (hotel train, whatever) from Zurich to Barcelona was fine. I slept well, albeit shallowly, and am refreshed in this fine city. It's a good atmosphere. Better than the Venezuelan transvestite who was in the next compartment - I think it was his 'husband' in the same room. It was odd. I suppose it might have been a woman, but if so, she was damn masculine.

Well, since no-one has read this, I'll add a bit here, rather than making a new post. Barelona has done very well for me. Admittedly, improving on the weather of Munich and Zurich is not the greatest challenge a Mediterranean city has ever faced, but even so...
The Guell Park is a Gaudi theme park and it has more tourists on display than anywhere else I've been, all of them wanting to be in my photo. Or so it seemed. And there were too many English ones for my tastes (although I kept somehow getting swept into a Japanese tour group - not like that, Lunk). But still, it is a rare place and the weather just enhanced that
Peculiar bridge structures:
Beautiful houses:
West Ham fan maybe? That's a joke by the way, I was just really pleased with how the bubbles looked in the photo
Some remarkable scening ornamentation:
And a giant lizard scultpure. I finally found a moment when there were fewer people stood in front of it. Gits.
And this is where I am going tomorrow. At least, that's my intention...

Bienvenidos a Barcelona! My favourite city of all where I spent 6 happy months. Hope it is as good to you as it was to me.
Looks like you got all the sight to see sorted out but if you can catch a Barca game do go! Visit la Boqueria on the Ramblas, a great market where i used to do my shopping. Highly recommend cafe cortado but am sure you have already discovered those
anyway, que te vayas bien!
Your work is much admired, your photography in a class of its own, BBB is just a little concerned at the" different" people you meet, I'm sure they are interesting in their own way. Your travels are world famous in a little part of the Wairarapa, a very little part, and loved by us.
I didn't meet the tranny, just noticed him/her. And most of the people I'm meeting are very pleasant, although I met an English couple from Hampton today, a place I thought people only visited, rather than actually living there.
