So here goes.
The taxis for Luton Aiport came at 2am. We left Sherfield and Mackinder Hall..and we reached early. Nice. Luton Airport reminds me a little like LCCT. For some odd reason. Flight at 6.25am, and we reached Barcelona airport at about 9.30am.
Took a taxi to the hotel, checked-in, rested for a bit..then went food hunting! =)
Our hotel, Confortel Barcelona, is situated in something like a residential area..so there was this long street just behind our hotel where there were cafes and restaurants and even a casino, which looked like it was from the 1930s or something..lol.
Went to a restaurant, ate pizzas and tapas. Then off to Llacuna station. (pronounced "yacuna"), which was 2 blocks straight, 2 blocks right. And seriously..their roads..are like so well organised. Like someone build the place up on a mathematics exercise book. lol!!
Visited Sagrada Familia! HOLY CRAP!! It was damn nice!! the architecture on the outside is very gothic..but the inside is absolutely stunning..and my pics on FB didn't do it justice. Next time I go back to Barcelona, I'm gonna pay that 3 Euros extra for the lift ride up to the top. Wanna see what the view is like. =D
After that, we went to see the magic fountain of Montjuic. NICE!!! =D
And it was pretty relaxing, just sitting down there watching the fountain, the lights, the music. After such a loooooong day with so little sleep.
Then we headed back to the street near our hotel for dinner, and everyone went back to sleep. Darren and I crashed...couldn't even hear the phone ringing. LOL!! Apparently Waen Yien called our room to ask Darren if he wants to have pizza with them for supper(?), so they called about 12am..but both of us didn't hear the phone ring at all..LOL!!!! And they called again at about 8 something in the morning..and again..neither of us heard it..XD
Thats how tired we were.
Day 2
Went to Las Ramblas. It's a long street, all the touristy stuff are there...lol.
And there is this drinking fountain..and some guy told us..if you drink this water..you'll come back to Barcelona again. Darren, Ikram and Shermaine drank it after watching some old dude drink the water to take with his medicine. lol..looks like they'll be coming back to Barcelona again..XD
I didn't dare..it just looked wrong..lol..and this drinking fountain sounds alot like a certain fountain I know in Rome...=P
After that, had Ferrero Rocher ice cream, lunch; tapas, paella and crema catalana. Then we headed off to Park Guell. The view was stunning! =D
Barcelona from up high looked amazing!
Then dinner time. Went to the port to look for a restaurant to eat. On the way..we saw a shop called Kualalumpur. HMMMM...it's probably some Malaysian dude's shop or something..lol..and the workers even asked us if we were from kuala lumpur..I'm sure they've had quite a few visitors from Malaysia already..LOL!!
Dinner at Toc De Mar. WHOA!!! Dam nice!! Food. nice. Service. nice. They even have a facebook group!! =P
It was a good 2nd day...=)
Alright..have to sleep now.
More to come on the 3rd (Camp Nou) and 4th day.
Ciao gente simpatico!!
