Spain trip - Day 1 Barcelona
Ahh ... It seems like only yesterday that I was blogging from some tiny Internet cafe in Sri Lanka with an extremely slow internet connection paying by the minute. Now I am writing in a hostel with free broadband!
We have been here for just under 6 hours and I love it. There is something special about the warmth, tiny streets and amazing buildings. We looked inside the Barri Gothic cathedral in the center of the Gothic Quarter. It was similar to other churches we have seen except it had a lovely cloister and you could take a lift to the roof where you are afforded an expansive view of the city.
Outside the cathedral is a bustling, wide mall with a shoe shop every few meters (all of which Lou had to look through). We took a roundabout route back to the hostel and took in some beautiful architecture and lovely little paved side streets. There are many brasseries and bars that would fit 10 people at most with their regulars at the bar.
That's all for today. Tomorrow we are on the train to Seville!
