Barcelona - home of Guadi

---

So we got out of Pamplona in one piece, had to hire a car cos all the trains to Barcelona were full for the next few days but it worked out well. We met up with Dani, a good friend of mine who I met in Argentina last year, and also Debs and Anna-Marie turned up from Vigo so all of sudden we had a pretty big group, boosting around the streets of Barcelona on rented bicycles checking out a few of Guadi's famous buildings, and trying to take out pigeones along the way (Tim was the only one who connected). We've also had plenty of beach time, I cuaght up with Silvia who i met at the same time as Dani last year, and now we're all off up to Cadaquez where she's got a weekend house, to chill out for a couple of days and have a bit of a birthday party for me. Barcelona is cool, heaps of cool old buildings and churches and obviously Guadi's work, but it smells a bit wierd and there a few too many tourists so it'll be nice to get a bit further up the coast to smell a bit of fresh country air.

La Sagrada Familia - Barcelona
this one of Guadis' buildings, that has been under constuction for over 80years, and won't be finish for years to come.

Thats Dani on the left, my Argentinian friend who lives in Barcelona and put me up for a week, and Debs and Anna-Marie on the right the day they got into town.

and look what we found...
homegrown Kiwi-fruit at about NZ$6 a kilo. and they tasted just as good as if we'd picked them off the neighbours tree

Love the pictures of Gaudi's work
I'm so glad to see the pictures of Gaudi's work again. We went several years ago but of course we took different angles than you did! It's amazing how much one forgets. I was just looking for some pictures for research for a story I'm writing on Gaudi and I'm glad I was sent here. If it's alright I might put up a link to here so that people reading the story can see Gaudi's buildings. Thanks again! http://www.thehomefiles.blogspot.com

Barcelona
You guys were in ushuaia, I think I stayed at the same hostel, did the room at the top of the hostel have windows on every face so you could see the morning sunrise?. Barca is great too - happy travels
