Camp Nou

Final stop of the pilgrimage. Would've loved the visit to be on a match day but a tour works for now. Far far better than the one at Bernabéu and felt kind of worth the money spent. Got to visit pitch side and the dressing room too. Surreal feeling having been able to visit having been in awe watching in TV so many times as a kid. Can only imagine the atmosphere here in a full stadium!

Earlier in the day, spent a couple of quality hours by the beach. It was quite windy and chilly but improved significantly afterwards. Several groups playing volleyball but one group stood out to me. Looked like a group of good friends having a wonderful time - fun, low stress, not being serious... I was probably the sole spectator and had half a mind to ask if I could join them. But couldn't get past my introvertedness.

And in the evening, my phone ran out of battery before I had got back to my airbnb. Reliance on maps has severely affected my sense of direction but even more interestingly even the locals didn't seem to know how to give directions. Somehow managed to find my way back to the place otherwise would've been in real trouble.
