Barcelona

Our luck is still holding with the weather. Apparently it was pouring in Barcelona for most of last week but we have again had a lovely day. We decided to book our tickets to Parc Guell last night and boy were we glad when we turned up with our tickets at 11.00 to find the first available entry for people with no tickets was 5.30. It was fun entering the Parc with Peter because he had no idea what to expect. We were both impressed even though some areas are under repair.

We caught a bus back down to the old part of the city and wandered down La Rambla to the Old Market. There were lots of interesting things to eat and we finished with strawberries dipped in chocolate.

There are lots of small alleyways to explore and we spent some time a little lost but it was worth it.

The good thing about a transport card is being able to change between buses and the Metro without having to worry about buying tickets every time. We caught the Metro down to the Olympic Port and walked along the coast. We found a bar which had beer for Peter and ice cream for me.

I dipped my toes in the Mediterranean Sea.
