Montemar Hotel Pineda de Mar

... about barcelona, the food, the drink, the parties, the culture, the people and the weather. Everywhere you go there is a bar, somewhere to eat, tapas restaurants everywhere. Before barcelona i was never really a cultural person, I was never really interested in sightseeing and art and culture but you cant escape it in barcelona and you wouldnt want to!! There are Gaudi buildings all over the city which are just ...

We head down Las Ramblas Street, it is very wide in the centre for pedestrians and there are lots of street entertainers, in unique and sometimes weird costumes, along the edges of the street, whom you can go and get your pictures taken with for a euro or two. Reminded us of the Venetian in Las Vegas, only some of these are very different and animated.

We head down to the port to see the ...

... it or get in it without having to go through security. I explained my situation to an agent on duty and he said I needed to go through the security line just like everyone else. There was only 1 x-ray machine for the entire terminal with a long line. I could tell it wasn´t moving much. Prepared for a long wait, I pulled a book out of my backpack which I managed to finish before getting through the line. Many passengers were quite upset since it seemed they were missing flights ...

... caverns is a real highlight, especially keeping in perspective whose footsteps you are walking in. You can´t mention Barcelona without talking about their nightlife. There are clubs and bars everywhere, and the family-friendly pedestrian walkways by day quickly become taken over by drunks and club-goers around 2am. Though bars typically open early and seem to never close, discoteques, or nightclubs, don´t even open doors until 1am, and the crowds don´t ...

... night, my mind is still foggy but I have had time to rest enough to make sense of my surroundings, although thoughts of reading have long been given up over to the exhaustion of hopping planes and time zones. It was by pure accident I ended up in this section of the plane, a smile from an attendee on the east coast as he handed me the upgrade must have been a gift from god. I ...

... performance." But as I glanced up once (involuntarily), I met eyes with the man in the wheel chair - a piece of work in his own right. He was glaring at me with this look of, "I know what you really want from my..." what - was that his wife? daughter? Could´ve gone either way I suppose. But I really wanted nothing of the sort. What I wanted was for them to move on. Then I saw the really sad part of the whole business. They had in tow with them a little kid not more than 3 or 4 years old ...

... that seemed to take us up and out of town again and eventually found a car park on the top of a hill near an army post of all things What a great place to be to do army training. Anyway, it was a long walk down to the town from there but we needed the exercise . Narrow streets lined with souvenir shops, restaurants and bars. Very little not open. They opened up into a harbour and a beach...a gravel beach that did not put off the sun lovers. Across the harbour was a fortress ...

... cheap materials, avoided the use of straight lines (e.g. preferring arches to beams in the ceilings) and drew inspiration from religious, oriental, medieval and natural sources. First stop was the Casa Batllo, a magnificent residential building built in the prime bourgoise strip neighbourhood of the time (1906) and which ...

... ei saada yhteyttä/pankillanne teknisiä vaikeuksia. Olimme todella hämmästyneitä moisesta, sillä itse asiassa Mikan Masterin kanssa oli ollut ongelmia myös Meribelissä. Emme saaneet kaupassa maksettua masterilla, eikä silläkään automaatista saanut rahaa kun vasta toisella yrittämällä. Ironista on mielestäni se, että maailmanympärireissulla kortti oli toiminut aivan täydellisesti, Bolivian takametsiä ja Malesian viidakkoa myöden. Euroopassa sitten onkin vaikeaa saada rahaa. Viimein ...

So I got sick of doing a pin that returns me to Toulouse every time. From Bordeaux we went back to Toulouse then I went home to Portsmouth for Christmas. Back in Toulouse I sat exams and then went skiing in St Lary in the Pyrenees. After a little trip to the Lot and the Tarn we decided to head to Spain. I loved Barcelona; it ...
