Waking up in Barcelona...

Waking up in Barcelona smack bang in the middle of the Barri Gotic (gothic quarter) there was no shortage of action to be had! Stepping out of our hostel, we were washed away in the throng of bustling people and blinded by the beautiful sunshine that we'd been waiting for for days.

After spending 4 days in the car on our road trip, we wanted to stretch our legs and soak up as much sunshine as we could- so we spent the day wandering the narrow antique streets checking out Gaudi's work, breathing in the fresh air of the Mediterranean, gawking at russian oil barons' luxurious yachts, and trying to get our heads around the fact that the 2000 year old Roman constructions dotted around the city were still standing.

We finished the day at our favourite buffet, 'Fresc Co', feasting on vegetarian goodies and home grown wine, 3 euros per bottle- nice!
