スペイン最終日、フランス1日目
The last day in Spain and the 1st day in France.

出勤前の友達とカフェ朝ごはん
Even if she had to go to work, she invited me to have breakfast in the morning.
別れを告げてひとりでゆっくり観光とお買い物
After saying good-bye, I went shopping alone.

日本では洋服を見ていて店員に話しかけられるのが苦手
In Japan, I don't really like to be talked by employees during shopping.

外国人旅行者感丸出しで心行くまでアクセサリーとにらめっこ
For today non of employee talked to me. They might think that I cannot speak English or Spanish.

どこでも買えるデザインだけど、バルセロナに行った記念
I felt like free to choose the accessories and bought cute ones.
次は3年前にバルセロナに来た時には見に行かなかったガウディの作品「カサ・バトリョ」
When I visited Barcelona three years ago, I didn't have a chance to visit "Casa Batllo."
私財で補助金など受けていないために建物の維持管理に資金が必要で
This world herritage is owned by one family not by goverment and they don't get any grant to keep it.

他のガウディの建築物と比較して入場料が高いんだそう
So, the entrance fee costs more than other buildings which he created. 

音声ガイド付きでスマートフォンをかざすとデザインの発想が写されたりして楽しめた
But, it's good price because it includes the audio guide which shows his inspiration.
午後はバルセロナからニースへ移動
In the afternoon, I flew from Barcelona to Nice.
日本から旅行に来る友人とニースで合流する予定が、
My friend from Japan was also coming to Nice but she couldn't.

ルフトハンザのストライキのため友人がドイツで足止め
Lufthansa goes on strike for next two days including today.
一緒に選んだホテルPremium Residence Prestige Pierre and Vacance
Today's hotel(https://www.pierreetvacances.com/gb-en/fp_ANL_self-catering-antibes-port)

こんな素敵なホテルでひとり、明日もひとり。
I'm alone tonight and also tomorrow.

ベナン2日目 The 2nd day in Benin 今までのようにどこにでもWifiがあるわけではないので There is no wifi everywhere like developped countries. まずはコトヌーでSIM探し I look for a SIM in Cotonou before leaving. 隊員ドミトリー⇔事務所間にできたMTN（通信会社） There is a new MTN store which they didn't have 5 years ago. 身分証明としてパスポートを提出する I handed in the passport as an ID to employee. コピー機がないので必要な情報を紙に書き写している He started to copy it by hand because they don't have a copy machine. こりゃ1時間コースだなと思っていたら I suspected that it would take more than one hour. なんと15分で手続き終わった！しかも100F！ However, it's done within 15minutes and costs 100F. 道端のおばちゃんからもSIM買えますが、 We can buy SIM cards at the store on the road,  but it costs 1000F, 1000Fするらしいので店舗に行くとよいでしょう so it's better to go to the branch store. そして朗報！あのガタガタ・ぐちゃぐちゃの道がキレイになってる！ And what's new is that the bumpy road became proper completely. 道の状態によっては2～3時間かかっていたところが1.5時間でグランポポに到着 It took only 1.5hours wich is of course faster than befor...
