Yesterday we went to Vilanova i la Geltrú to visit the train museum. Spanish people are not especially interested in trains so there were very few people there. We bought a special combined ticket for 9 euros at Sants station, but it was free for Thomas (both the train and the museum). The museum was great with quite a few old steam trains which reminded me of when I first came to Spain with my parents when I was a teenager.
There were old electric and diesel trains too, all a bit faded from being out in the sun all the time.
There were quite a few things for Thomas to do - first they gave him a free book "Victor - l'Ou que es mou" (Victor - the egg that moves). There was also a small model railway for him to watch but it only ran every half an hour for some reason. Outside there was a small play area for kids but there was no café so we had to go to the Rambla for lunch where we found a branch of El Fornet in an old Modernista building with a small garden behind complete with grotto and turtles.
In the afternoon we went for a walk along the beach which has lovely fine sand and Thomas collected some shells. Then we played Crazy golf which cost 5 euros per person which Thomas thoroughly enjoyed.
