After celebrating the New Year 2021/2022, it is time to head back to Sweden, all the way by train
I can't leave without saying hi to my cat friends
Also, I can't miss seeing Barcelona in the wintertime, which is like Sweden in the summer
Visiting museum of Modern art
Warm during the day, cold and foggy during the evening - typical winter weather here
Cat friends again
On the day of my departure from Barcelona, I'm queuing for a PCR test, which was necessary to enter Austria, which I'm about to visit. After 2 hours of queuing, a missed train, and 100 EUR poorer I found out later that nobody cared about my test.
So, here I am waiting for another train in the lounge
Complimentary snack and drink in 1st class
