Espen and I decided to take a trip to the north east coast of Spain. We got to be really good tourists, and we now know all about Antonio Gaudi.
We had great fun, and got to see a lot of nice things. And of course, a bit of shopping too. The most interesting shopping experience was the local market, where they sold all kinds of things. The best buy: A gift for my sister, chinese coups and plates (well, I am not too sure if it actually is chinese, but it looks like it, it looks nice and I like it), and shoes for 3 euros:)
But the real reason I am writing this, and what really made me pissed, was that on our first day in the city, someone, some really bad members of the human beings decided to make my visit to Barcelona a little less nice than I had planned. These or this person, I do not know how many there was, somehow justified for themselves that they were more entitled to my belongings than I was. So, as magicians, they managed to open my purse (with a zipper on it), take my cell phone, open my wallet and completely emty it for money and my kreditcard, only to nicely close the wallet, place it back in the purse and close it with the zipper. All without neither me nor Espen noticing. Was I angry when I found out? YES.
However, for unknown reasons they decided not to take the whole wallet, or the whole bag for that matter, so that I still had my Visa card and all the other stuff left in my wallet. How nice of them!
The next morning, I paid a rather interesting visit to the policestation, and got to be interviewed by a young, spanish man, speaking English as good as he could. He gave me a document in spanish telling what was stolen, and I intend to give this to my insurance company.
And then I hope that I will get my money back, and money for the new phone I had to by. What else do I pay insurance for??
