Hotel Barcelona Classic Castelldefels

... which is the church designed by Gaudi. Work started in 1882 on this cathedral, but Gaudi took it over in 1891. By 1925, one of the four spires which now crowns the facade had been added. The other three had only been begun when Gaudi died in 1926, they were finished later, exactly as he had planned them.
We then made our way back to the bus and found our way to the closest stop by Lluis' apartment. We found a ...

... there was a guy who was protesting the cruelty of animals and Steph got sad, so we decided we didn't want to go and watch it. That damned guy. To be honest though, we were both exhausted from the trip. It was either time to go back down to Sitges and max out our credit card...or come home and rest. It was a blast. Can't wait to go back and bring our kitesurfing gear next time!

... a magic fountain, a castle and a Spanish Village. He is a skip away from the infamous La Rambla, the best known landmark of Barcelona. You can't visit here without haphazardly bouncing into this street that stretches from Plaza de Catalunya to the Columbus statue, filled with newspaper kiosks, flower and animal stalls, and street buskers galore. It is the melting pot of the tourists and locals, from the full body tattooed "trippies" to the blonde, freckled ...

... aanta juuri lainkaan. Kavimme kiertamassa viitisen kirkkoa ja kuuntelimme oppaan turinoita, minka kuulimme. Saksan kierroksiin verrattuna tama oli aika skeidaa. Kierroksen paatyttya katselimme viela vahan aikaa kaupunkia ennen kun palasimme hostellille. Kokattiin viela ruoat ja katseltiin Amsterdamin hostellitarjontaa kunnes ...

... the same pair of trousers for over a week, incerdible fro her! Later that day we went into Barcelona and walked down to the waterfront where we sat and ate a picnic lunch overlooking a marina, we then had a look around a big leisure area which floats on the water, before strolling back up Las Ramblas and watching a few street performers, including a rather good Ronalhdino impersonator (a football player who plays for Barcelona). Today we went to a brilliant ...

... then go in to pay. No, not possible. Since there wasn't a word of english that was either spoken or understood by the attendant, it got interesting quick. I finally discerned that he wanted my passport..to fill a tank of gas? Yes. Good thing I had my passport! With that, I filled my tank, paid, and got my passport back. Geeez. Everything else went smoothly and I was thrilled to be free of the ...

... to see Gaudi´s architectural marvels? No. Did they come to savor the wonderful seafood paella dishes and sangria? No. Did they come for Barcelona´s famous nightlife and club scene? No. They came to Barcelona for an entire week solely to paint. Why Barcelona? It is considered one of the best places in the world for graffiti. There are famous pieces throughout the city that are so well known that while anyone could paint over them, they remain ...

... its too heavy to carry with me... so unhappy... its such a nice book. not that anybody cares about my art adventures... but there you have it... i´ve had a day full of excitement today. there´s an electronic music festival on at the moment in the city. i´m annoyed i didn´t buy tickets. it looks like its going to be great. there´s all these hot trendy young things walking around everywhere waiting to go.

I woke up feeling unwell so didnt head with the coach when they went to the city. Instead I got up at mid-day and got the bus from out campsite to the city and had an exploration of my own. I knew where to meet the group at the end of the day and as luck would have it I actually ...

... leaving it, they are always there with you and there is little opportunity to see other people, mostly other mothers during the children's activities...I see that the role of friendships changes greatly for families. I think that the change kind of caught me off guard. It is likely that I won't actually have a conversation with anyone outside of the family during the week. Given that, I'm really lucky with the family that I have here, particularly the mother. Claudia is incredibly ...
