What a difference a day makes

Mind warp. Awoke in Hong Kong at 6am Saturday; now it's beddy-bye time, 24 hours later, in Barcelona, and yet--it's still Saturday. The long leg of the flight was 6000 miles and took us over Central China (quite bumpy) Western Siberia (bumpy), the Urals (bumpy), and on into London (cloudy). Tip #1 of the day; don't load up on pork dumplings for breakfast, like I did in the Cathay Pacific lounge in HK, lest you part ways with them unhappily, like I did in the British Airways lounge in Heathrow. Tip #2; try to avoid Cathay Pacific Airlines. Nice staff, terrible seats (but good dumplings...however, don't be seduced by them!). Tip #3; don't waste your money going Business Class on Iberia on a within-EU flight. Same seats as Coach, with the added pleasure of icky food (a fly in my flan). It's nice and cool here in Barcelona, and Bobbi's excellent fixer-cousin Marc was at the airport to greet us and steer us into the city and his swell little casa. Now it's time to try and sleep before tomorrow's recce fun commences.
