I am 75 and cannot walk as far nor as fast as my three younger travelers (two in their 50's, one 60 something). We want to see the Gaudi stuff, Picasso museum and everything else. Anyone know of motorized thingees like they have in some of our grocery stores or some other idea?
I'm not legally handicapped, just slow.
We're thinking I may have to sit out and wait for them from time to time.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Aloha,
Ellie
Ellie, I was in Paris with friends a few years ago with injured ankles (I had the injured ankles, not my friends!) and while they accommodated me by strolling rather than striding, and we took city buses a lot, I did spend a lot of time sitting, resting and waiting. Take a book with you or do some journaling or just enjoy the passing parade from a cafe table when you have to wait for your friends.
Ellie, it would be a shame for you to miss out on all the fun with your friends and not see all the sites of Barcelona. I found a place where you can rent a motorized scooter in Barcelona:

You deserve to have a great time, too!
