Torres Girona

... and down the main road to the beach! This was where we stopped for some lunch and a well earned rest! We got chatting to a kiwi couple Megan and Grant who were lovely, and we decided to go out for a drink after we got back to the bike shop. The boys didn’t care where as long as they got beer, so an Irish pub it was!

We then headed back to the hostel, I had a quick shower and change and headed back into the city to meet back up with Megan and Grant and go to watch a ...

... story you would understand why) Busting out the ipod. The pilot is attempting to speak english ha anyone will have to ask me for an imitation haha trying not to laugh. (obv im spanish and I know people have accents but this is so ridiculous....dont understand one single thing so why do it?) then again thats probably what english speaking pilots would sound like if speaking spanish...will have to try it sometime, haha! Someone smells bad and I dont think its me...lol I think! Excited to ...

We travelled up the coast on a Renfe train, It took us about 4 hours. We were running 1 hour late. But that was OK, I got to watch more of 'Over the Hedge' in Spanish, I had no idea of what they were saying, but it was still funny. Barcelona was really touristy, there was heaps to do there. We caught a tourist bus for a day so we could see all the attraction like Gaudi park, Nou Camp (for AC), Olympic park, and a view over Barcelona.

From Nice, I took the train to Barcelona, so I´m back in Spain, the country I started in, and I´m getting close to the end. Barcelona was okay at best...definitely not the best place I´ve been. It´s really just another big city. I´m definitely finding that I like the smaller towns better, as they are less crowded and people are generally happier to see you. Like most big cities I´ve been to, Barcelona has it´s main street where ...

Hola, We have been practicing our Spanish, Jake is getting really good, however it doesn't help us all that much here in Barcelona AKA Catalunya because they have their own dialect, which appears to be an mix of Spanish and french wee wee!!! Luckily for us the majority of the population speaks Spanish, Catalunya and English!! The population seems to speak more English than Madrid did, they also appear ...

... historic town, split by a river. tucked behind a high mountain, we thought we´d never lay eyes on it. because of its´tuck behind the mountain, the temperature dropped sevërely. we found a nice campspot over a bridge, along the river, behind a fence, and behind a hospitaloe helicopter landing pad. no emergencies in the middle of the night though- so no helicopter action. in the morning, the sounds of a hot air baloon overhead woke us up. it was lovely. the tent was frozen and frosty.

... It made me miss cooking with my roommate Ann Marie. She taught me two of my favorite Japanese dishes... We then decided to make our way over to La Sagrada Familia. This is basically a 120 year old construction site. It was impressive and I guess I am glad I saw what we did now, instead of say 60 years ago, when it was still just a pile of rubble, but come on. In this day and age why is it taking so long to build a church? It is massive and extremely ...

So the other day, apparently we were feeling brave, we decided to try out the metros. Basically you can get anywhere you want all over barcelona for really cheap. We bought a ten ride pass for 6 euros! anyways, we decided that we'd try to get to sagrada familia by Antoni Gaudi. With our maps in hand, we hit the road. Took a few trams to get there, but crazily enough, didn't get lost going there, and ended up right next to sagrada. we walked out of the metro and ...

Escribo desde este crazy hostel, desde el bar/internet/restaurant/circo que es este ambiente con mesa de pool, mesas de comer y de tomar y mucho turista joven borracho, unos aca al lado entonan cantos desconocidos en idiomas que no entiendo, mientras otros hacen la vertical por varios minutos y piruetas dignas de bailarines negros, pero creo que son franceses, lo que hacen un par de cervezas... Como nuesta habitacion de 8 camitas esta ocupada ...

I arrived in Roma, Italia about an hour ago, throat burning, stomach roiling, sleep deprived and missing Spain with my entire little tapas-loving heart. My flight was delayed due to the severe thunderstorms currently passing through Italy. In Barcelona I left behind perfect beach weather. Cool. The last couple of days have been chill but a lot of fun. Riding around on the scooter with Alex, stopping to have coffee at random sidewalk cafes. Walking up Passeig de Gracia ...
