last comments in retrospective

i'm back in germany now, actually already since a few days. my last day in barcelona was nice although dominated by misfortune. i had planned to finally reach the top of the tibidabo ("i will give you", look up the name's origin here), which i actually also had already tried before. there are two ways up the hill; for the first one you can first use the "tramvia blau", or, if this doesn't run, a substitutional bus and after that you take the "funicular de tibidabo"; for the second way, you take the metro and after that the "funicular de vallvidrera". the first time i tried to get up there, the funicular de tibidabo didn't run any more. now, on my last day, i was earlier, even the tramvia blau still ran. i waited in line for an hour, then got fed up and decided to take the bus instead. -- only to find out that the bus really only runs, when the tramvia blau doesn't. this took me half an hour to find out. so i decided to take the other route and went quite a bit to take the metro etc. but then, the metro didn't stop at the stop i needed to get off. at this point i realized that i wasn't meant to reach the tibidabo that day and i gave it up. i strolled through the city for a few hours instead. that was all fine, except for my feet which got a little sick...

i stayed the night at the airport where nothing exceptionally happened. and now i'm back.

school is gonna start tomorrow -- and i don't wanna go...
