Apartamentos Royal Marina Gardens Castelldefels

... Saw for the first time the 'statues' on the ramblas, which is basically people dressed up in costume standing or sitting still like statues, its freaky. They dont move a muscle, and for a second you ask yourself if they really are. <br><br>On another note, ive encoraged a few of the americans to come out sat night. One of which plays golf, so we're gonna find a cheap 9 hole when ive got some cash. <br><br><br>

... even if I was unable to see them, the internet in the Pyrenees is a little slow.<br><br> Early on Tuesday I departed the lake at Graus feeling rested and ready for a full days cycling. The first half an hour was lovely, the lake had a morning mist hanging over it and behind layer upon layer of mountains faded into the distance looking quite unreal, literally (and I use that ever used word in its literal sense) they looked more like a ...

... with a 'WI-FI HERE' sign in the window. I can't get it working. Grrr. Back home to hang with the fam and we all hit the sack. A great day today. Both the kids were thrilled, the park entry was discounted because of the Barcelona Card thing we have, and it was perfectly sized ... big enough to be a great experience, but not so big that it was overwhelming or that we felt we had to rush through to get to everything. In the 9 hours we were there we saw three or four shows ...

... a while watching the families rowing hired boats around the big lake, but it was very busy so i got sick of it after a while and got a gelati and went back to the hostel to have some pumpkin soup and toast as i hadnt had any lunch. There i started chatting to one of the busabout girls - Alex, and ended up heading out with her to wander the streets to find her friend that she had lost somwhere along the way, and with no luck, we stopped mesmerised for a while by some more of ...

... Notre Dame, the Musee d´Orsay, and the Latin Quarter, doing well to wear out our feet. We didn´t get to see all of the Louvre but we managed the Italian paintings (including the Mona Lisa of course), the French paintings, the Greek and Roman statues, the Medieval area, and the Egyptian area. On our way back from the Louvre, a woman tried to trick us into giving her money by ¨¨picking up¨a gold ring off the ground and act like she was ...

Hola! Barcelona on ollu tosi makee paikka, ollaan kayty kattomassa kaikki Gaudin rakennukset, katedraalit ja kierretty vanha kaupunki lapikotaisin. Taalla ollaan myos jouduttu ensimmaisen kerran tarttumaan kattilan kahvaan ja tehty itte safkamme, silla ulkona syominen on tòrkean kallista. ryypiskelykin on jaanyt vahemmalle silla baarissa pyydetaan ...

... down to two possible games, and I called the club. I finally got through to the one man who spoke English, who was persuaded that Alec's paperwork was truly on its way across the Atlantic and would arrive soon. He gave me the member number and key code needed to buy tickets online. Which I did, for Barcelona versus Betis on Sunday November 4, only to find that no transportation was available for less than $1,000 round trip. Back to the drawing board, and two ...

... in Spain. We got tapas at a restaurant near their hotel and wandered our own ways in the mall. I've really enjoyed his visit, I hope he had a nice time. I'm not as close to him as I wish I was so this trip certainly helped. And I got a few nicer pictures with him. Future Christmas presents for the Mum. Tomorrow I start a long journey east. I can't wait.

Barcelona was a blast!!!! Apparently, it took a few visits for a success, but we did it! We stayed at an awesome hostel (Kabul, right on La Rambla), watched the Italians win the World Cup, met some really cool people. Vitak and I went to see the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi´s amazing (although unfinished, covered in cranes) cathedral, with one of our roommates from Sweden, Katrine. We also went to Gaudi´s park, which apparently ...

... really not up to par anymore. The area as a whole was huge, but most of the facilities are totally ignored now. The parks seemed deserted, fields overgrown, pitches and so on not used anymore. It seemed like such a let down, to have all these amazing facilities, but with no use for a lot of them anymore. It made me wonder if that´s how a lot of cities are after hosting an Olympic games. What do you do with it all afterwards? It was sort of a shame, because the ...
