I reached Barcelona Airport at about 0700 hours yesterday morning to board my flight to Delhi via Zurich. Fortunately, the check-in, security etc. was not much delayed and I was in the boarding gate by 07.30 hours. The flight was only at 09.15 hours. I wanted a cup of coffee and went to the shop in the airport. Since I thought that there will be no necessity for Euro today, I spent all the Euro I got during the tour on day before yesterday. When I ordered for coffee, I was told that only Euro will be accepted. I had a few pounds, but that was also not accepted. I went to two three other restaurants, but got the same answer. There was no money changing counter opened at that time inside the airport. So I had to go without coffee.
The moment I got in the flight, fortunately managed to get a cup of coffee, thanks to the steward. By the way, the coffee in Spain is good. But the local comrade told that Coffee is better in Italy.
I had learnt a good lesson. Always keep some change of the local currency with you. Today, it was coffee, tomorrow, it may be medicine or somthing like that we want.
