... line to check-in.
My friend Kathie calls cruise ships floating buffets but sailing in one feels like hanging out at a shopping mall day and night and having only an Applebee’s or Chili’s to eat at for dinner. We walk along the enormous white exterior before entering into the ship’s belly on the seventh floor reception area where we’re offered champagne and orange juice. Then we find a place to sit at ...
... So I got out my computer, which has all my confirmation emails on it, and I realized I was at the wrong hostel! When I was planning the trip, there were a couple I was deciding between, and I wrote down the wrong one in my itinerary! But luckily, they gave me directions to the right hostel and it was easy to find.
I was very happy to find that my room was very bright and clean, and even better, it was cool. As in, not warm. It did have 12 ...
... it but we got a photo out of it... Instead of taking a taxi to Mount Juic, we decided to take the subway to Casa Botllo to see 'the house of bones' designed by Gaudi. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Batl lo ). The tour of Casa Batllo was expensive (16.5E) but it contains some of the most expressive designs of Gaudi. The rooftop of his houses are always the most interesting... It was siesta time and we got ready ...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands pathfinder35... boared the little death trap to head over the water to the beach. The beach was not there prior to the 1992 Summer Games. The government thought that tourism would pick up, so they built the sea wall and the beach for all the expected visitiors. The beach is quite beautiful though, about 4 km long, full of tourist trying to work on their tans and locals laughing at them with their parkas on. The water was full of surfers and the beach was crawling with pickpockets, I am ...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands mike81... benefited from refurbishment. But even today there are areas such as the streets which run south of Carrer de L'Hospital and east of the Rambla de Raval - which are best avoided. Raval is also the home of the Mercat San Josep, Barcelona's largest food market and, it's said, the most beautiful in the world. No guide to Barcelona whether it's an audio guide to Barcelona or not should miss this - and neither should you.
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands mp3cityguides... Took the blue bus and hope out to see the Joan Miro Museum. Joan Miro"s paintings and scupture are colorful , childlike but distinctive. Took the green bus and saw the big fish sculpture of Frank Gehry. Bought a take away dinner and ate in the hostal. After taking the Bus Turistic today you feel you see all of Barcelona.

Barcelona, Spain romanuck_... and then many women will come over to say hello. They loved that and laughed and laughed! It was funny. I continued my way, curving through the streets and eventually came upon the Archaeological Museum and knew I was still on the right path. I stopped at some of the gardens along the way and breathed the fresh air and enjoyed the various statues and landscaping. It was nice just to be able to take my time, stroll along, and stop wherever I ...
Barcelona, Spain wakingdream... a sense of humour.... plus its hard to keep an angry face when they all start getting changed in front of you...! They turned out to be a great laugh, completely useless though-they were supposed to catch a 8.45am train on the 3rd day. WE woke them at 9am. hehe. Our replacement roomates have been four spanish girls, about our age, really sweet, they have just finished their exams so are in Barcelona for the much the same reasons as us - sun, nightlife and the beach! There is also a ...
Barcelona, Spain sarahcromack... we wanted to see if the temperature had cooled any after dark (it really hadn't) and then tried to pinpoint our balcony window from the street when two college students heard us speaking English and asked us where we were going. It turns out that one of them has been in Spain all year to study and the other had come over for the summer so that they could travel. They were very envious of our air-conditioned hotel room and the fact that we were going to Greece. We talked to them ...
