Let's go on a journey together

to Barcelona

We're at Nice Airport now, where we're just going in

we're gonna go check in for our flight

so we can go to Barcelona

I'm so excited!

From Nice to Barcelona, it only takes 1 hour 20 minutes by flight.

When we arrived at Barcelona,

we caught an Aerobus from outside the airport

to Placa Catalunya

This took roughly 35 minutes

A: This place is beautiful in such a different way!

From Placa Catalunya we caught the FGC

to the station where our hotel was located.

From there it was a short 10 minute walk to our hotel.

I think we arrived during siesta time

because there weren't many people on the streets.

A: It's just left and then right W: Yeah

Here we are!

For our stay in Barcelona

we booked a triple room

at a place called "Hostal El Ninot"

This place was recently expanded

so, fortunately, we got to pick a room

on the newer side of the building.

One down side

was that our room was a bit too far from where the modem was

so our WI-FI wasn't very strong...

...but, we got a courtyard!

After checking in

we went to join a free walking tour

with a local company called "Runner Bean Tours"

We joined the "Old City Tour"

which takes you around the Gothic Quarter.

Look how beautiful the facade on some of these buildings are.

Look! It's the Barcelona City Hall!

Welcome to Paradise!

At the end of this street

you will find the ruins of the Temple of Augustus

This is one of Barcelona's heritage sites.

Our tour eventually lead us to the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia

which is also known as the Barcelona Cathedral.

So we just finished our free walking tour with "Runner Bean Tours"

they're highly recommended on TripAdvisor.

We chose to go straight to the tour after getting off the plane

so we were really tired

and a lot of the information we couldn't really absorb it.

But!

If you're unlike us

and you have a bit more energy

it would be recommended

because then you learn a lot about the history...

After the tour, it was time to explore the city on our own.

For dinner, we found a place to eat pintxos.

A: Cheers!

W: How's the sangria?

A: Yours is like fruity light wine

mine is like a heavy red

with lemonade.

W: Do you want to try your pintxo

A: yeh, so this is a capsicum or bell pepper

with a sardine

and it's got some salmon

and then inside's like a coleslaw

and obviously on the bottom you can see the piece of bread there as well.

mmm...

it's good!

Pintxos are similar to tapas

except they are held together using cocktail sticks

At the end of your meal, your waiter will come around and count how many cocktail sticks are on your plate

and that will determine how much you pay.

At this particular restaurant,

it was 1.70 euro per pintxo

Here you will see a selection of cold pintxos that we picked out...

and here are some hot ones.

W: Pork loin..

A: Pork loin, but inside it there's this special sort of mince as well

W: This one was squid ink croquette

A: Squid ink croquette yep!

W: and um... A: This is codfish with cheese

W: I think this one's a breaded eggplant.

and what's this one? who ordered that one?

A: I think it was me...

W: Do you remember what it was? A: ...but I can't remember what it was.

all I know is it looks tasty!

Black pudding!

A: Get the M&M out of the way!

W: *laughing* J: Alright! Don't discriminate the M&M!

So, we just came out from dinner...

and look at the sky!

it's BLUE!

A: Looks like paint.

W: Like WTH how blue is this!

and it's night time

it's like a painting...

Time to get back home!

A: It's an old key!

W: Fail!

J: It's like a locket!

W: Fail!

A: But, it's not turning guys... ohhh...it's already open...

it's a push guys, there's no handle

it's like welded together.

Look how old school our elevator was!

isn't it charming?

We really liked how homey our hostel felt

walking into our side of the building

we had a communal living room

as well as a kitchen.

After a long day, it's time to go to bed.

Good night!
