Hola from Barcelona

Well, itś been ages since our last post, the wifi here is non existent and we get the computers in 15 min blocks, so here it goes anyway! You will also have to excuse bad typing as the keyboards are different here and sometimes I just can't make it work, no matter how hard I swear at it!

On Monday we did the Gaudi tour (2 actually), both 3hrs. In the AM it was a tour round 3 of the houses in the city that he designed then out of the city to Park Guell, which had 4 more houses he designed along with a big wall/seat and a giant lizard. When we get to the new hostel, Iĺl add some pictures, but it was fantastic to see and out tour guides were lovely and very accomodating. In the PM we did the Gaudi out of the city tour, with a visit to some fences - sounds very silly, but they were great fences! We then went up to a small village that Gaudi was building a church in (which he never finished - apparently he took too long, so they asked him to stop work), so the town now uses donations and money from tourist visits to continue working on the church. There was lots of stained glass and beautiful mosaics, looking at it from the entrance you wouldn't think it would still be standing, with lots of curves and uneven angles. My explanations don't really do it justice, so will have to add some photos.

We've arrived at the new hostel and the wifi works perfectly - it's apparently not that hard. It will be a lot easier to blog now which is good. Just for Julie Sy - here's are a couple of photos that we've taken just for you...





Prada & Louis Vuitton! - we did consider worshipping at the doorsteps, but thought that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to disturb the peace when there were special police guards 2 metres away, I'm thinking that jail in Italy isn't all mars bars and work out room ala Prison Break, on the plus side the boys in uniform here are very pretty.

Anyway, I'm going to finally post this as it's been a few days in the making, more to come soon.
