05/09 Yellow sand & Wind Denia-Palma ferry/BALEARIA EUROLINIES MARITIMES/370.3km
I don't want to loiter on the way because it is cloudy and blowing a gale. I ran long distance because I put all I had into it without worrying about the outcome. Someday I will attain a spiritual state of selflessness.
It rained intermittently along the way. Also the rain had yellow sands.... "CUB" & my wear had been durty.
I arrived Denia because I want to use ferry. Tomorrow morning I will be Mallorca island.
Fortunately I met a kind crew in this ferry, therefore I could eat dinner free.
05/10 Palma de Mallorca Granada/HOSTAL RESIDENCIA Los Girasoles/18.5km
A strong wind rocks this ferry. I arrived Palma on 7:30, and made sure of ferry for Barcelona.
In the rain I found a good hostal. But along the way, I lost a windshield wiper. It was bought in Granada and very useful...
I was kept indoors by the rain for all day. But an hostalgirl mede a reservation my ferry for Barcelona.
05/11 It is hot in Barcelona Barcelona/HOTEL Auto Hogar/33.3km
I got up 4 o'clock. Today's ferry is the same as airplane. And MAX speed is 47 knot(anout 87km/h)!
I arrived to Barcelona. I lost many time to find ticket station for Genova. Why yes, it is shanty. I am going to leave here tomorrow night.
It is hot in Barcelona. I sweat profusely. And I went a marine museum. The exhibits is wonderful.
05/12 Gaudii's heritages Barcelona-Genova ferry/GRANDI NAVI VELOCI/30.4km
Surely you know Antonio Gandi. In Barcelona there are many his heritages.
Sagrada Familia is his heritage. It has been exclusuvely financed by private domination and our entrance fee. The work has worthy of prise.
This is a apartment by him. There are few straight line and plane. You will feel freshness nevertheless this structure was made about 100 year ago.
At night I went on board. I will arrive to Genova tomorrow night.
05/13 A luxury liner Arquata Scrivia/HOTEL ARQUATA/51.6km
This ferry is a Luxury liner.I think all passengers want to lead a voyage of elegant ease. As a matter of fact, my room named RAFFAELLO that is the cheapest has only one passenger. I'm alone. The joy and sad intermingling in my heart, I must be on bord...
I arrived in Genova at twenty. I went north, I found a hotel in Arqua Scrivia.
Along the way I entered "Hostaria", I asked a shop girl "Do you have a room tonight?". She laughed me. "Hostalia" wasn't a hotel...
Tomorrow I'm going to Lugano in Switzerland.
