Today was one of the bestest days ever! Hired a big old bike from Fat Tire Bike Tours and hit the road, Jack. Barcelona is a fairly flat city so biking is probably the best way to go. Headed down the Diagonal Mar and past some beautiful parks with crazy sculptures in them. (I actually passed a Mammoth - let´s call him Manny) At the end of the Diagonal Mar there was this huge open area where they have displays like the Easter Show or whatever there. On top of this area they had a solar panel array the size of a football field. The Spanish are great at having big areas and tend to harness the resources here really well. If they can do it, why can´t Australia? (Let´s not go down the road of their economy, thank you sceptics...)
It was a real blast just sitting in some of these parks and caring not a jot about the rest of the world. Financial meltdown? Care factor zero. Nuclear threat on Defcon 4...yeah, am I bothered? Meteorite about to strike the planet...yawn....ooooh, tapas!
So, to surmise, cool day, chilling on a rum and coke as we speak, about
to head out with my hostel owner, Luis, for some brewskis.
Tomorrow I´m heading off to spend a night at this Castle Monserrat with some funky monkeys. I´ll try and educate them about the Flying Spaghetti Monster....
Talk later.
