How do we conquer Europe from the sea - part 12

Cruise the Mediterranean from Odessa to Barcelona and back (extension, ch.12), quite honestly, when in July 2000 it was decided to take part in the cruise, I somehow did not think of exactly where we sail . Because the memories were still fresh memories of the French Cote d'coast, the upcoming holiday seemed, if not everyday, it really is not an event out of the ordinary. Bay in the port of Barcelona, ??however, in the first hours of stay in the capital of Catalonia and to me personally, and my fellow passengers, it became abundantly clear that the guidebooks do not lie, we had to spend a little time in one of the best places on the planet, the beautiful city of beautiful people, the homeland of one of the most powerful football clubs, etc., etc., and so forth. Tug on the background of the coast of the way, if we talk about football, I am, alas, not able to join the "holy places of football", despite the fact that during the cruise, in addition to Barcelona, ??I visited the home of such famous clubs as the "Olympic" , Fiorentina, Livorno. Looking ahead, we can, again sadly, admit that and a tour of the capital of Italy in no way touched the sacred to me as a football fan with experience of places. But in Rome based great teams, "Roma and Lazio! And, of course, in May 2000 for me as a football fan, have been futile trip home team Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. The only notable manifestation of the "football essence of the Catalan capital for me to become a football kit form a great team" Barcelona ", which is sold on a tray in the center. I did not buy it because it was worth a lot in those days. But now I regret, because now, thanks to the Turkish and ex-shovels craftsmen, this Spanish thing to buy is difficult to do this again to go on a cruise. Yachts in the port of Barcelona Amazing things began immediately on arrival in port. Accustomed to the Italian, and especially the Greek authorities for the long wait, we almost immediately after berthing of the vessel were able to disembark. Before us was a very tangible dimensions of the station building, if you can call it a two-story (I could be wrong in the number of floors) building that separated us from the city. Naturally, like any trained to cordon "scoop", I mentally prepared for the customs inspection, and went into the building. Columbus monument on the waterfront of Barcelona Imagine my surprise when, in the vast hall of arrival "(to make it clear that I mean, at airports is like" Arrival Hall ") was not just a poorly attended ... There was nobody at all! I went through the hall, got into a long corridor, and ... Oh, joy! Halfway to the door I saw two guards (they were in uniform), who missed a framework around a metal detector. Delighted that I am now going to examine the procedure of Spanish customs and passport control, I approached him and wanted to pass through the frame. "But, but, but!" - A loud wail guards and I disgraced (himself in front of him) and shamed (by itself) for what had underestimated the orders in a free country, went to the door of the building "marina."
