Sleep deprivation.

Well, as in life, there are always pros and cons. On the plus side, we are staying at a hotel that is in the centre of everything. On the minus side, we are also trying to sleep in a hotel that is in the centre of everything. This is a City that dosn't come to life until at least midnight. I did not see that as a huge problem as our room was on the fifth floor ~ well above the ground noise I thought. Then of course sound carries upwards, forgot about that.
Yesterday we were forced to go without the mid afternoon nap as we were traveling the city on the bus so I thought we would surely have no problem sleeping that evening. Sure enough we both got to sleep fairly early, for about one hour that is. The street noise makes it sound like the people are actually in your room. Sleep was a luxury that was contained to small snatches that lasted about thirty minutes a stretch. Oh well I guess sleep is overaated anyway, can anyone silence those church bells please?
Today we intend to visit the Docks and get an idea of where our ship will be leaving tomorrow. The Docks are huge with twenty or more ships arriving or departing at any given time. Apparentley Barcelona is the busiest Port for cruise ships in Europe.
Well time to get some morning coffee in me. The two oz cup I had yesterday is starting to wear off.
