Girona 30.4.2011

A day of Surprise

Got up early and got to the restaurant for some "take-away".  Then I set off to catch the earliest airport bus.  At the bus station, there was an electronic board showing the bus schedule and the lag time for the coming buses.  It was quite a while that the bus line I was waiting for did not appear on the board.  I prayed that it could arrive on time or otherwise I needed to take a taxi to airport to catch the flight.  At last, the bus no. appeared and the bus came as scheduled.

Everything went on smoothly, I could get on board and took a rest.

Upon landing, I thought it was Girona airport, as learnt from the net that Ryan Air was homed at Girona, though the ticket recorded Barcelona.  It took me an hour to ask for direction and figure out that I was really at Barcelona airport Terminal 2!  I then repeated the same as previous landing and got to the train station and took the train to Sants Estació and transferred to Girona.

After settling my luggage at the hostel, I took my time to buy quick lunch at the train station and bought return ticket to Figueres.  It is famous for the museum Teatro-Museo Dalí.  However, I know nothing about the artist.

Teatro-Museo Dalí
It was really adventurous for me when arrived at Figueres without a map on hand.  When leaving the train station, I followed the crowd and asked for direction all the way to reach the museum at around 15:00, hoped that I could finish the visit before its closing time.  Fortunately, there was only a short queue in front of the entrance.

The statues outside the museum have already shown the talent of this great artist -
Salvador Domènec Felip Jacint Dalí i Domènech, Marquis de Púbol or simply Salvador Dalí
