Kabul Backpackers Hostel Barcelona

Well I made it to Barcelona safe! Please excuse my spelling and grammer mistakes, I am writing this hung over. It was quite tricky to get from the airport to the hostel using public transit but I thought it would be a good way to experience how most people travel in the city. I caught a train from the Barcelona airport to the central part of the city and then caught the metro train to a station about 5 minutes from the hostel. Once I got off the metro train I had to ask someone what direction...

Well just starting day 3 of the Barcelona adventure. Yesturday was definately my best day yet. Started off with a Kebab for breakfast/lunch since I didnt wake up till around noon. Then I was off to the beach with team Aussie. It was a lot farther walk than we anticipated however it sure felt nice once we got there. The weather was beautiful and around 27 degrees with a nice breeze. We hanged out at the beach for a good 4 hours and went into the ocean. There was some pretty big waves and it wa...

Today is my last real day in barcelona. I will be heading to Valencia
tommorow for a day trip by bus and will not arrive back into Barcelona
until late. I randomly met a guy from Vancouver on my way out of the
hostal and he had just arrived. Me and him headed out for some site
seeing.

The day started off with a visit to a famous church in the heart of
barcelona.

sNext we were off to rambla de mar which was a popular floating
gangway. Then off to the Olymp...

After some decent shuteye on an overnight from Nice, I arrived solo (the other guys stayed an extra day in Nice) in Espana in Barcelona at about 10 in morning. My last time here was 2 years back almost, it was halloween, and one of the most tempting things Barcelona has to offer to a guy from San Diego, the beach was a few celsius too cold for my taste. This time, the polar opposite. Barcelona was so hot and it was actually a good thing. I got off the metro at the city's famous Las Ramblas to...

This is our second day in barcelona and its happy hour right now, 2 beers for 1 EURO!
Barça is the ****. Since we landed its been nothing but sun. We´ve already hit the beach twice.
Last night we drank wine for 3Euro and i found a store that has wine for 1.20EURO. I can honestly say that i would live here for the rest of my life. The sun, sand, alcohol, sun, women, drinks, sun, beaches and women are all amazing. We´ve met some great people from all over the world. Gabriel from Brazil, a...

Today was another beutiful day in Barça. Bought a nice beach towel with FC Barça on it. Sam bought some scarfs. nuff said. We hiked up some mountain (Miramar) and got stopped twice by Spanish popo. We did nothing wrong, for once. I guess they thought we were drug dealers on a count that we don´t look like bums. We saw the Estadi Olympic which was fu5kin beautiful. MnAC and Gaudi were very nice. Parc Guëll was so serene. no homo. Barcelona metro is incredible, it puts TTC to shame.
So we...

Thursday 20th December 2007 What a ridiculously early time to get up - 4.15am is not my preferred start time, particularly after going to sleep at about 1am having been shown up by Fraser at Madden 07 on the PS2. Even so, we all managed to get up and into the cab pretty much on time. Bypass the uneventful Gatwic airport and we get to Barcelona at about 11.30am Spanish time. Right, lets get to it! Erm, no.... I forgot that I flew with easyJet! They very kindly left my backpack in London. Ah we...

We arrived in Barcelona on February 26th. I was immediately excited to see Spanish and Catiline culture. We stayed at Kabul hostel which was right in the middle of this beautiful square and only a block from the famed La Ramblas. La Ramblas is a street filled with restaurants, shopping, and markets. It was in the Barri Gothic districts and a block from the pier and ocean! We met up with Connor's friend who lived by Arc de Triomphe. The next day we walked through Barcelona and hiked far up in...

'Death via Rail' When I look back on the last couple days, all I can do is chuckle. It has been trying, to say the least. But don´t get me wrong, it has been a learning experience. To begin, let´s back up a few days to when we were still at our resort in Benalmadena. Sept. 6 and 7: (Benalmadena) Kristen and Jordan took off on the 6th. They grabbed a train back to Madrid and would be flying out later on in the week. Julia and I, however, decided to make good use of the amenities that come with...

Hey, I turned up at the Stuttgart airport, to find Tim Daniel was on the same flight as me. Crazy, we bought tickets together to the Aus v Italy game, bumped into each other after the game and drank all night. Now we were on the same flight to Barca. Crazy. On the day I arrived...I managed to do alot. Walked around the Las Ramblas and down to Barcelona beach..which is really cool. Every male in the world would love the place. Nearly every girl is topless and alot are not wearing anything at a...
