La Sagrada FamiliaLa Sagrada FamiliaLa Sagrada Familia

One of my favourite Cathedrals
Unfortunately we had a slow trip in because just after we crossed the border we found out a Petrol Tanker had rolled and we were stuck in an enormous queue of traffic for 4 hours. Luckily it's not so boring when you've got 50 other people with you so we just mucked around on the side of the road.

We didn't arrive at camp until midnight so the next day we got up and explored the place.

I really loved the vibrant and easy-going atmosphere of Barcelona and particularly loved 'The Sagrada Familia' - a Cathedral that Gaudi spent 30 years of his life working on and died before he'd finished it. In the evening we went to watch some Flamenco dancing then had a 'walkabout dinner' (you find your own place to eat, not in a huge group) on Port Olympic (the waterfront) before spending the night on the town.

We arrived back to camp when it was light and it was just our luck that it started pouring with rain as we got out of the taxi. We got back to our Cabin after running about 200 metres it was just like we had showered in
