Barcelona Ho

Dont mention ze flight...

To juxtapose Bankok and Barceona - well see for yourselves. This is from outside our hotel in Bangkok

and this outside the hotel in Barcelona...

Barcelona is a beautiful city, in the same league as Paris I think. Full of narrow alleys, fascinating shops and flowers overflowing from wrought iron balconies into the street.

Bars every 20 metres selling coffee, beer, wine and mouthwatering tapas...and us with 2 boys that dont sit for long at all. So we walked past them all...ouch. Back to zoo's and beaches (a little disappointing on this front) and looking at ice cream menus, which has become Angus' favourite occupation. We did however manage to get out into the paseo each evening when all of Barcleona emerges into the streets - couples young and old holding hands and the single and very fashion conscious parading their wares....and all along the street table full of people enjoying their pre dinner drinks and tapas. For those not in the know dinner here doesn't start until 9 or 10pm. Anyway it is people watching at its best.

Oh and I should mention that my first drive of our manual RHD car on the narrow roads at Barcelona peak hour wasn't me at my calmest! What a nightmare.
