Prestige Congress Barcelona

... few choccies after finishing up at the museum. <br><br>That night I went to see the Sangrada Familia, which is a church designed by Gaudi. My guidebook said it was pretty spectacular to see all lit up at night, and it was. It is not nearly finished yet, so there are still cranes and people swarming over it. But the front part has been completed and is both beautiful and strange. Both Gaudi's works and Picasso's works have a similar thing about them - when you first look at them you ...

... fell asleep, we were woken up by the bartender telling us that we couldn't sleep in the "Social Area".<br><br> <br><br>So, we changed locations and got to know each other a little more along the way. I spent my whole boat trip with the girls and they were really fun because their English was just as bad as my Spanish however we were able to communicate very well. We ended up sleeping for about ...

(I'll preface the entry by saying that the photos for this entry are in the previous entry. sorry. don't feel like changing it) Unfortunately, we had to wake up pretty early to go on a paseo (stroll) through the architectural period of Modernismo of Barcelona. Albeit only getting 5 hours of sleep or so, I actually felt pretty good and was ready to gozar (enjoy/capture) the day. Pretty much, we captured the essence of Antono Gaudi, a famous Spanish architect with Modernist style ...

... my friends and there was this one guy in particular that really REALLY hated us. He would peek through the hole between the head rests and give me really intense death stares because one of the girls that was sitting across form me has a really loud voice and I guess he figured if he freaked me out I would tell her to shut up but it didn't work b/c I just scooted over so he couldn't look at me... so then he stared at my friend sitting on the other side of the train ...

... Australia - is either). Gaudi's park: cool. Can really see how he based his designs on nature. Just don't try drive there. It's surrounded by 1 way streets that all lead away from the place. I recon there's a car factory behind the park, cos as soon as a resident drives their car out of the 'hood, there's no way they'll ever get it back in unless they break it down into manageable pieces and re-assemble it in front of ...

... by a famed architect and that construction began in the 1880s with completion expected sometime in the 2020s. The architecture has a lot traditional basis, but is completely unique at the same time. The main pillars inside branch at the top like trees into the ceiling. The outside will consist of 12 enormous pillars representing the 12 apostles. There are very carefully crafted stone sculptures on the front depicting the various stages of Jesus' life ...

... directions to the hostel, so not a happy camper! First impressions of Valencia weren't good, but I decided to take a tour bus around the city (this is after I eventually found the hostel thanks to fellow backpackers!) Probably not one of my best ideas. Rain was still pouring down torrentially, the bus got stuck in peak hour traffic and to cap it all off, the bus was a double decker with a cover on the top level ...

... world are really fun and have made our short time here very memorable. We strolled down the las rambles after a nice supper looked at a clock and realised that we had a good hour before our train then the british penchant for messing with the worlds time dawned on us and we had to leg it for our train. Just a short note we took the train to nice and arrived to find that the french are on strike tommorow so we have to make a fast run for the italian border.will let you know how we get on

Hola I know that a lot of you probably thought I had died and were happy about it, but no! I am still alive and still kicking it. Sorry to disappoint. Its just the last couple places I went to, did not have Internet access and it was too expensive to go to a cafe. So let me recap: When in Rome, do as the romans and avoid the freaking Asian tourists. They go there in flocks and take pictures of EVERYTHING. Seriously. I went to the Coliseum and the Forum in the ...
