On meeting Scooby Val said wow he is much more spacious than I thought he would be! Seems all the tidying and moving Kim had done this morning had paid off J We had worried how she would react to Scooby but since she had recently read our life in Scooby blog posting she knew what she was in for. Val being smaller than Kim made it easier to fit in but at times we all knew it ...

... Se sta a divertì come una Carlotta a Gardaland. Mi dà informazione dei suoi spostamenti con aria quasi colpevole, sottovoce, perché sa che lo prenderò in giro vita natural durante per le sue debolezze carnali. Gli dico con aria di sufficienza che non deve preoccuparsi, che è normale; e aggiungo che ha il mio numero di telefono e quindi deve farmi sapere se vuole passare la notte a Sitges o tornare da solo a Barcellona o farsi monaca: "basta che me fai sapè" gli dico così alla ...

... restaurant food, i had an omlette sandwich with paprika sausage for less than 4€ - bargain, and then finally reached the fountain at about 10.45pm. It was pretty spectacular. every night it does a show from like 8pm till 11.30pm, with the jets of water and lights going in time to music. We got to see the last 45 mins or so, and it was so relaxing. The music was classical, and i felt like bambi or aladdin was about to jump out, it was like a magical disney movie right in ...

... 8217;s village and how they talk about ham there. In the evening we visit the Picasso Museum. Wow, they had so much stuff it was overwhelming. Sometimes you forget that these crazy abstract guys could also do traditional artwork as well. They had everything from sculptures, still-lives, and oil paintings of people to some of his crazy stuff. What an interesting character and the museum really was pretty good at outlining his history and development ...

My countdown to Christmas started pretty early- around the 20th of November! (Well if it's good enough for the shops!). However, I managed to restrain myself from putting up a little snowman and Father Christmas I had bought from the 'Miles Coses' (A Thousand Things)homeware shop until the beginning of December! I spent most of December exploring and shopping in the Gothic Quarter, which runs parallel to Las Ramblas. And here is how I can decribe this part of ...

... me.... (Ian) Relax dude it's part of the experience- don't make a scene (Phil) Very ungentlemanly behavior (Peppie) Only four guys... I could take em! Suddenly I'm surrounded on all sides. Not having my bag on my shoulders I couldn't really manoeuver around, so I make the decision to stay put, we are only two exits away anyways. Heather looks so worried and says "Watch out for your stuff" (Weenie) She is so bossy, my stuff is right here! (Ian) I ...

... thing to do in Spain) in the main square. The second night there was a fireworks display, which was also pretty cool for a small town. From there we drove the short distance to Barcelona. We were not sure what to expect, having heard some mixed reviews, but we had a great time there and loved it. For us, Barcelona was all about Gaudi!! We visited the Sagrada Familia, The Casa Mila, The Casa Batilo and ...

My high expectations of Spain have not gone unmet. I am loving all things Spanish... I haven´t been this overly satisfied since touring Thailand. My first few days in Spain have been amongst some of the best in Europe. Following the recommendations of some locals I met last night, as well as Franco whom I met a couple of nights ago, I ventured out to Sitges today... a 30 minute train ride south of Barcelona. Sitges is a magnificent town with a beach that rates up there with ...

... you" and shook his hand. He told us to be careful and have a good day. It was just the way he had said it, and the three other people he was with...they were all SO nice. Plus, when I shook his hand, he stood up-completely unnecessary, but a very kind gesture. After almost losing our belongings, the dynamic between all of us changed. We were closer, I think. We just talked about random stories and feelings and everything was just more open. As we did not really know each other ...
