Day 17 - Spain

Sooo, this morning I got up bright and early and caught the full bus to Barcelona, or as dad would say Barthelona.

The bus ride was pretty so-so as usual, nothing special there.

Once we arrived in Barcelona, our guide tried to take us to the drop off hostel, and got us lost. Was kind of ironic really. I wasn't staying there, so Nick and I made our way to my hostel, which is an awesome place, roomy with lockers. Unfortunately Nick hadn't booked a room, but the lady offered him the couch for 15 Euro lol.

After settling in (bottom bunk, yay!), Nick, myself and an American girl called Camilla walked down the main party street La Rambla, and went to meet up with everyone else (Mel, Maria and Maxine) to go to dinner. We walked around the Gothic quarter for AGES before settling down somewhere and getting some Tapas and Sangria.

(La Rambla, there were all these guys with annoying sound makers in their mouth that made them sound like a duck? Very noisy)

I have to say, I paid 10 euro for a bunch of Tapas. I didn't get even CLOSE to full, and It wasn't even that tasty...I'm convinced it was the place we went to though.... The Sangria was AMAZING though. Soooooo good.

We then wandered around for AGES just looking for something to do, we all dwindled off one by one, Until it was just Nick, Maria, Mel and I.

Maria had some absinthe, so we mixed it with apple juice and drank on the 'beach' which took us about an hour to find. No one would listen to my directions... lol.

I had a waffle covered in caramel. Sound's amazing right?? was about a 3/10.... Too dry?? needed ice cream lol.

Anyway, overall good day.

Things that mad me happy today; Sangria, Barcelona's buildings, good company.

Things that made me sad today; The disappointing food so far,sSeeing so many things that remind me of Paul;
