Wow, that is definitely something to be upset about. What a disappointment to lose most of one day of activities. I hope they are compensating you guys. I guess I would have thought they'd have a back up in place. Glad you are having fun though and didn't let it ruin your trip. Loving the trip report so far!Finished day 1. Basically just explored on my own before welcome dinner. Made it to the Reina Sofia museum to see Picasso's Guernica. Spectacular. Welcome dinner at hotel was decent, but not spectacular, as most hotel dinners with ABD.
Big complaint up front though. Huge, actually. Vueling Air, which was supposed to take us from Malaga to Barcelona for the last day of the tour in Barcelona cancelled the 7 am. flight to Barcelona. The only other flight is at 3 in the afternoon. This means we will miss Parc Guell and the Picasso museum. These were two big items to see for me. Now we are basically going to Barcelona for Sagrada Familia and dinner.
Really angering. Fortunately we will still get tixs to these places if we have a post day. Which I thankfully do. So I'll still see them. But if I didn't have a post day, I'd be furious.
This is of course not ABD's fault, and it's obviously difficulties with this flight that caused them to change the itinerary for next year. But I think it's awful. At least we were lucky to get a flight. The guide said Vueling did this to another group of hers, the day of the flight! With no time to rearrange. They had to take a 13 hr bus ride to Barcelona. And didn't get their earlier than we will flying. Glad it's not like that at least.
I'm having fun though. Madrid is a beautiful city.
