BARCELONAAAAA!!!!!

My favourite location thus far, even more so than the wonder and splendor of Paris!!

This might have been thanks to Oriol, who was the best tour guide we could have asked for :) He picked us up from the airport (in Girona, 45 minutes away from the city) showed us around his city, took us to meet his friends and out for dinner, and he organised for us to celebrated New Years with him at his friend Tashu's home...

We caught up with Jordi and Sarah outside our hostel; I was so happy to see Jordi, it was like a lovers reunion (I was told)... I screamed, dropped my suitcase and ran towards his open arms :P I think it was just the joy of seeing my best friend... Shit, imagine how the reunion will go after a few years, let alone a few days!!

We had a really great late lunch at the Harbour (all floating, they made like, 55ha of commercial space and stuff- even a Marina and an iMax!!) Anyway, this was an all you can eat, and it was FRESH!! I had this whole plate-load of salad- YUMMMM considering we'd had Pizza, Pasta, Pasta, Panini, etc etc for such a long time!

After eating all we could, we went for a lovely walk around the Old City, saw some cool break-dancing street performers, beautiful lights, got excited by all the shops, and the Market down La Rambla, the main street in Barcelona. There were even pet shops set up, selling all sorts of animals- Iguanas, ducklings, tortoises & turtles, gerbals-- the list goes on!!


(3:30pm, like i said, we worked on Spanish time!)
