And the 3rd day starts here!!!
*well..actually at the Metro near our hotel, which is Llacuna station..but..who cares...=P
WAAHAAA!!!Camp Nou baby!!!
It was bloody amazing! Seeing signs along the way from Collblanc that says.."Camp Nou"
=D
So we went in. Bought our tickets. And we went to the shop 1st..lol! XD
But damn..was it awesome!! =D
Now if only I had loads of money..then I can buy the stuff I want!
Didn't buy anything...but I still got something. ;)
Ikram and Elisa got a jersey. =D
*sorry Ikram..but don't think i'll be getting a Chelsea one if we visit Stamford Bridge..=P
Then we headed into the museum. whooooaaaa....history of an amazing club!
See how the new interactive thing in the museum works....SOOOOO AWESOME!!!
*The video is taking forever to upload..will do it at another time..=S
*or check it out on youtube..i uploaded it there..way faster..=P
Then slowly as we made our way through the museum...there they were...the 6 cups! And then the jersey, the 2008-2009 one..the one I was wearing as well!! =D
Then we headed off to the field, the stands, then to the press room, to the away team changing room, the commentators' box and then to more interactive media..and there it was..the video showing the road to the Champions League final..and the goals during the final itself...aahh...what joy. =))
After that we left the Camp Nou...*I'll be back*...and headed to Casa Milla and Casa Batllo. More of Gaudi's work.
After that..snacking time at Cafe De L'Opera. CHURROS!!
OMG! OMG! OMG!
1) pick up the churros.
2) dunk it in Spanish hot chocolate.
3) eat it.
4) dies and goes to Heaven...XD
IT WAS THAT GOOD!!!
Tastes like yau char kwai with Milo...but much more sinful and heavenly at the same time!!..*oxymoron..I know..*
After snacking..went to the Barcelona Cathedral.
It was nice..can't beat the Vatican..=P
After a tiring day..we went back to the hotel first to freshen up..then we went for dinner at a restaurant nearby.
Day 4
Our last day in Barcelona.
Darren, Shermaine, Nicol and I went to a nearby cafe to get our breakfast. It was not bad..and the morning atmosphere..just sitting and chilling while waiting for our food..very relaxing. =)
After that, we headed to the beach/port and took a cable car across the port. VERY nice view. =D
Then we headed to Las Ramblas again..lol..to see the La Boqueria Market. SOOOO colourful!
And they have this weird looking fruit. It's like something our of Avatar. It's called kiwano. Doesn't have much taste. Just very juicy capsules. =P
Walked along Las Ramblas, ate a pizza cone and had meatballs at Cafe De L'Opera..no churros this time though...slight regret now that I think about it..=P
Then we headed back to the hotel to grab our bags.
hehe..and we thought the adventure had ended..XD
Ikram, Elisa, Shermaine and Nicol took a cab to the airport.
Waen Yien, Susan, Amethyst, Wai Teng, Darren and I decided to take the Metro to the airport since we still had our 2 day pass. So we went.
Took the Metro to one of the stations..then changed for the direct train to the airport. Little did we know there were TWO trains that leave from that platform. 1 to the airport and another to Vincenze something...
We didn't know that..so the 1st train that came in..we hopped on.
The next stop on the map was Sant Barcelona, and the train duly arrived at that stop. So I thought..we're gonna be early at the airport...and that was one good decision we made..to leave early. =P
Then after about 30 minutes into the journey..Darren and Wai Teng were dozing off, I did too for a bit, I looked out the window..saw the ocean to my left and huge bungalows to my right..what I was thinking at this point was.."wow..nice scenery"...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
5 minutes later..the conductor came in to check our tickets. The other 3 girls were seated a few rows in front of us..then I saw a bit of a situation going on..Waen Yien then came over to us and said.."this train isn't going to the airport"..
That woke Darren up! XD
So we tried to communicate with the conductor (he didn't speak a word of english) about where..the next thing that came to my mind.."shit..are we gonna miss our flight"
The somehow or another..we understood the conductor as saying that get off the next stop in 15 minutes, then take the train back to Barcelona. It'll be about an hour!! We would miss our flight if we did that.
The we asked what about taking taxi at the next stop..and he said it's about 30 minutes by taxi..so thats the option we're gonna take.
And the taxi cost us 100 euros. Thank god there was an MPV there and not those small cars that fit only 4 people.
I was pretty calm the whole way..surprisingly. =)
We reached the airport with time to spare. =)
The others that went by taxi were pretty worried I think..wondering where we were..XD
That reminds me..I want to know how far we went by train..XD
*checks google earth*
Yeap..then we took our flight back to Luton, and then taxi back to Reading..and that was it..pretty eventful eh? =D
Would love to go back!
But first...to other parts of Europe!!
Ciao!!!
