Te Amo!


Little Lucy decided not to change her clock when we arrived in Barcelona... So we woke up an hour late today and completely missed our bicycle tour!
After finally getting ourselves together we made it to Sagrada Familia. Possibly one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. Im sure everyone has heard of Gaudi, a man who changed the world and then died from being hit by a tram (as we learned from the bicycle tour we went on)! The sun rises over the nativity facade on the east side where there are sculptures of the nativity scene and symbols based around Christ's birth. The sun then sets over the west side where it has The Last Supper, The Crucifiction and other sculptures based upon Christ's death. I sat outside for an hour in the rain drinking a delicous hot cholate. Ah the serenity!
We worked our way around the city and made it to the greatest place on earth... the CHOCOLATE MUSEUM. SO amazingly good! We sat in the cafe after and shared a rich hot chocolate between the 9 of us (we joined up with Lucy's Aunty and the family).
After leaving the museum (in the pouring rain) we walked through the backstreets of Barcelona to the Modern Museum. We got slightly lost and arrived so fashionably late that it was closed! So we went for a walk through the beautiful streets of Barcelona and slowly made our way back to the Gothic Quarters. We found an incredible Italian restaurant where we got so fat that we rolled the two doors up to our hotel afterwards.
Adios Amigos!


Such an incredible creation!





The East side.. Christs birth!
