Barcelona

Bar-they-loyna…as they say it, blew us both away. It was awesome to arrive in a city neither of us had been before and take it all in for the first time. Our five days here were super, from the tapas, sangria and Spanish doughnuts, fair to say if we didn’t walk so much during the day we would have put on 10kg I reckon. The sun was out every day, and even though it was only 12 degrees, it felt like 30 for us after the weather we’ve had so far. Highlights for us and probably for anyone who has been to Barcelona is clearly Gaudi’s works. The Sagrada Familia is clearly one of the greatest things ever ‘being’ built, and we made a pledge to travel there 10 years from now when hopefully its finished. We took a journey to the zoo which was also very cool, I spent 3 months in Africa and never saw a Leopard up close like I did in this Zoo, it must have been feeding time cause it was snarling and prowling around its pen, awesome animal and awesome sight, number 3 on the ‘coolest animal in the kingdom’ awards. We stumbled upon an amazing street art gallery called ‘Montana’ which blew us away, but some of the street art we got photos of in town were ace. Overall though, I must say it was a huge contrast going from France to Spain and seeing the atmosphere’s change. We felt really relaxed and content in Barcelona strolling the streets, and sitting in bars, it reminded us a lot of home and the outlook we have on our lives. Anyhew, enough philospihisationing……
