Tickets!

But then while looking round for some ice cream I noticed a booth selling tickets to various tourist attractions. Not expecting much I asked about the cathedral in the hope something was available by other means. The guy inside said they had something available in 30 minutes. At first I thought he was joking but he reassured us we could have tickets to enter. I was stunned. We'd already convinced ourselves we weren't going in and that turned around in a flash. And there was only a charge of €2 extra per ticket. The day was saved. For me, Barcelona was saved.
