Provencals 10 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands, 08019, 93-266-5200
Well you've all read the title I assume, and it seems like a big claim to back up. Besides you say, hes only been there for 8 hours or so.. but lets get on with the story. After the net cafe yesterday we had our first ´scary` experience of the trip. Were sitting outside our Paris hostel (which was in a dodgy area of Paris, despite the hostel itself being nice). Some scruffy looking guy, who pretty much radiated menace walked up the street towards us, and sat down right next to Dwight. This is...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands bananaz70Hey Everyone, First up, I`d love to blame my delay in posting on all the dedicated sightseeing and tourism expeditions we´ve undertaken. But to be honest that would be a lie hehe. Its really just been a mix of hanging out at the beach, nighttime drinking expeditions and relaxing at the hostel. So we left off last time, on our first afternoon in Barcelona wondering just how we were going to endure such a harsh lifestyle. That night after a nutritious dinner of 2 minute noodles, we met Adina wh...
Barcelona, Spain and Canary Islands bananaz70Hey Everyone! Its been a bit of a delay since the last post, mainly because we are doing a lot less notable tourism than in other destinations. That aside, between beaches and drinking we've scraped together enough stuff to make another post on the blog. Before I go any further, thanks for reading it all people, getting close to 600 views, in over 2 weeks... I mean I have heard of being bored, but that is crazy :-). Now we left of last time on... I've completely lost track of days, but I real...
Barcelona, Spain and Canary Islands bananaz70Happy July 4th! No 4th of July celebrations over here, so I'm hoping you all had fun for me. Hope you ate some good ol' barbeque and had some fun...because that sure didn't happen here...we had a different type of fun! Well, in all of the bus bookings the night before, Toby, the person who was kinda overseeing the whole bus-booking business, ended up being the one and only person whose bus tickets didn't get booked - so we had to wake up at 6 AM (or at least we tried) to make it to the train ...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands dizzybg924So we figured we were in Barcelona, guess we ha to wake up early despite the fact that we partied like crazy people the night before. We woke up in the morning, did a little bit of shopping at the mall down the street, ate some fabuloso Chinese food at the mall...my goodness it was great...then headed to la playa (the beach)! We walked across the bridge to find the beautiful, gorgeous Mediterranean Sea! It wasn't quite South Beach, the water was a little bit more green and the sand a little b...

... group largely because meals had a habit of hitting the table anytime between about 5.30pm up to about midnight. They're also both really conservative in that black-and-white way that you'd expect from your grandma and somehow treat the way that they are both desperately in love/married as not just normal for 19 year-olds, but kind of expected. So, to me at least, it came as a bit of a surprise that we got on so well despite their obvious confrontation with my general crassness, 'she ...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands benjcox... Unfortunately there was no surf, but still great to visit. So Barcelona definitely was pretty cool city to visit. I would be interested to come back. There are many pros and only a few cons. But definitely worth a visit. So time to get back on the plane and settle into life in London. It will certainly be a bit strange to not be moving around so much. But London is calling so here I go.
Barcelona, Spain henrikstrodl... city) La Sagrada Familia. The church has been under construction for over 100 years and still has 20 or 30 to go. Despite it's lack of completion, it was still an impressive sight, and I figure the desire to see it completed gives me reason enough to head back to Barcelona some day (hey and maybe next time the weather will hold out)! Hope everything is going well for you all back in the states... ENJOY... keep in touch! *Much Love* -AMY
Barcelona, Spain ajbauer... Europeans do it right since they eat eggs at any meal, not just breakfast. After that I walked back down to the water to see the harbor at night...pretty awesome. Then I looked around for a bar so I could have my beer for the day. I went into a small Irish pub, drank some Spanish beer, and watched some soccer. The second song that came on in the bar was ...
Barcelona, Spain ckodiak... course they knew I was not a Spaniard. I left San Sabastian early the following morning hoping to get to Madrid before dark. It did not happen.... I took a road that was two lanes and a lot of curves mountainous. I stopped for Lunch at a small restaurant bar and had a glass of wine and some tapas and this was the place that I saw a sign that said all roads lead away from Madrid in English. I thought that was funny so naturally I asked. the ...
