getting on the internet at the hotel is easy... i doubt it will be so easy on the ship. which we get on tomorrow.
it was a long and eventful day. we are all impressed by how nice the people are here - even the locals. while we were mapping out a game plan on a metro (subway) map, a man told us he was from Barcelona and asked us if we needed any help. and we weren´t even confused! all over, people have been welcoming and friendly. good place.
here is what we did today:
- breakfast outside at a cafe on the street in the Placa Catalunya
- metro ride (a sort of big deal for some in the party!) to La Sagrada Familia, lift to the top of the church for some stunning views
- back on the metro to Parc Guell - the Gaudi park, totally amazing and beautiful. we had lunch on the way at our fist place where no one spoke any english. we had no idea what were ordering, but it ended up being great.
- a cathedral and a really cool church (Cathedral de Barcelona and St. Maria del Mar)
- snack at the waterfront
- walk up the bottom part of La Rambla - the part we didn´t get to yesterday.
tomorrow, we will check out and store our luggage. then off to breakfast and seeing some more sights. then we will go back to our hotel to collect our luggage, take a taxi to the ship, and go to our rooms. then, we will have a coupld more hours to play in Barcelona before the ship leaves at 9pm. looking forward to another great day!
buenas noches,
sheila
