**JUST A NOTE**
I kinda confused myself, I’m not completely sure but I think I may have missed out a day!
Oh well it’s gone :( so I have a few trains to catch over the next week so I’m sure I’ll have time to write then. I’m just going to write on as I think it goes. I probably missed bits and pieces.
Hopefully I’ll get myself up to date before I go home! :(
I’M DOING THE BEST I CAN!

Day 47 - Barcelona
Managed to get the bus tour today! And it was so wonderfully AMAZING!
First stop I got off at was the Gothic Quarter, which ended being what I had gone to see during my free walking tour, so I did a quick walk around, including going into this lovely marketplace before going back on the bus. My next stop was La Sangrada Familia. I queued up for so crazy long, but it was so worth it. I entered and got myself an audio-guide. I followed the instructions, learning about the meaning of the first entry I was going through, which was basically dedicated to the end of Jesus’ life. The man who designed it wasn’t Gauldi, but he was following his wishes. I entered the building and was stunned, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a building so beautiful, it’s weird but I could feel myself getting emotional. Just the amount of work and dedication which must have gone into creating such an amazing structure, the audio guide gave me a look into the thoughts behind all the choices. I stayed in the building as long as I could and then moved outside. I learnt about the choices of the decorations on the outside of that entrance too. It was dedicated to the birth and childhood of Jesus. I then moved onto the museum at the exit then the small school built just out of the entrance I’d originally gone into.
After leaving (saddly) Sangrada Familia behind I hopped on the bus and headed for Park Guiel, When I got there I worked out that the way from the stop to the park was all up hill. Half way I had to basically push myself up the hill. When I got to the top I found that the entire PARK is on a hill. Which drove me nuts!!!! Don’t get me wrong I was so incredibly fascinated by all the park had, the beautiful mosaics of the entry and the beautiful rock face archways throughout the park. I loved it, regardless of all the hills.
The view from the park out over the city was breathtaking.
I remained on the bus through the rest of the tour and it was really interesting! There was an audio tour through the entire ride and a booklet with additional information!!
When I got back to my hostel I got back with time to spare, I got myself all dressed up and jumped on the pub crawl wagon! I met some Aussies and Irish people on the actual tour and met some English people who basically crashed our pub crawl! It was really really fun to go out and have a great night. We started at an Irish bar, where we got free shots of Sambuca, and I had myself a nice cider, then moved onto the Aussie Bar where we had (what I think were) wet pussy shots, and I had myself a vodka redbull, and then moved onto the club, which was really really fun! It was so packed and I was going to get myself a drink but I soon found out that a beer was 10 euro, so I didn’t wait to find out what any other drinks would cost. I made my way to the dance floor with the other people on my pub crawl and we just danced all night, when I was dancing I met a guy and a girl from NZ and we danced together for a while, they were really fun!!! When I got home though the entire room was spinning but I managed to fall asleep easily.

Day 46 - Barcelona
My aim for the day had been to go to get my train ticket to Madrid and then go on the bus tour around Barcelona. However, that’s not how it ended up. Getting the train ticket ended up taking A LOT longer than I had planned. Once I finally got the ticket I grabbed some food and worked out how I wanted to spend my remaining hours.
I ended up getting a train to La Sangrada Familia, I walked around the beautiful structure, honestly had my breath taken away! I thought by this point I would have had all the breath taken out of me by all the beautiful things I’d seen and done. Honestly La Sangrada Familia has to be one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. After that I decided to take my mums recommendation to go and see Casa Mila, I tried to follow the map but managed to get myself lost. I ended up having to find myself some WiFi and google maps-ing it. I finally found my way there and queued up to go in. When I got in I took an Audio-guide. The building was amazing and the history behind it was so interesting! The tour started off at the roof, which was brilliant! It was so amazing that I didn’t even realise until I was about to walk down that I hadn’t even looked out over the view of Barcelona from the top of the building. The next stop was the attic space, which has now been turned into a museum of Gauldi, mainly of his work on Casa Mila but also a few other words about his other works. The final part was the top floor apartment, which has been frozen in the time the building was built so that people can get an idea of how this building was intended to be used and to look.
After I left the building I walked down the street and looked at the outside of Casa Batllo and then further down to Zara, where I spent a little bit of money on clothes there. After that I continued walking down to La Rambla, which I then walked down to find my way back to my hostel. By the time I got back to the hostel I missed out on the Pub Crawl so I went out for drinks with two girls from Paris who were staying in my hostel room. The eldest sister was 20 and the younger one was only 16, so we went and the older sister and I shared a Sangria and the younger girl had a really nice juice.
When I got back to my room I read my Game of Thrones book for a while before falling asleep.

Peoples church, gah so pretty!
