After all that excitement we got to Barcelona airport and started fighting with those stupid bloody auto check-in machines that never seem to work for me. When it asked for the bank card I used to book the flights, I stuck my credit card in and (after the machine rejected it for no apparent reason) I put it back in my wallet and back in my bag. After checking in the good old fashioned way, I went to put my passport back in my bag and realised my wallet was gone - not even ten minutes after wrestling with the auto check-in! During those ten minutes, Jen was next to me the whole time, and we were away from crowds of people, so if someone has managed to steal it out of my bag without my noticing then kudos because that's a bloody top effort! It's highly unlikely I put it down somewhere and walked off without it, or that it just somehow fell out of my (zipped) bag, so who knows but either way it's gone. I rang the bank and cancelled my bank cards asap, so aside from the Euros that were in there it's no great loss.
It turned out the wallet thing wasn't the only pain in the arse for the day. Jen and I arrived in Edinburgh on time; our luggage did not. We were the only two dorks left standing by the luggage conveyor after everyone else had collected their luggage and left hahaha! The weird thing is I happened to see our luggage with the baggage handlers out the plane window right after boarding in Heathrow en route back to Edinburgh. They loaded everyone else's shit on, appeared to have a chat about ours, and then drove away with it! Long story short, they both arrived later that night (on separate flights - what a pack on incompetent clowns baggage handlers must be!). So anyway that was La Tomatina and my gallivant around Spain. Barcelona was definitely the pick followed closely by Valencia, though Madrid was better than I expected it to be. La Tomatina was everything I expected it to be and a lot of crazy fun! Next trip: Croatia in three weeks! :)
