Barcelona Day One

Or I love Spain!

Well it was another early start to get to Heathrow for our 7:30am flight. Jules, Peter, Suzie (Jules' sister), Scooter and Andrea (Scooter's girlfriend) were all on the flight for Barcelona.

After checking in we grabbed breakfast and met up with Scooter and Andrea. The plane boarded on time and after an uneventful trip we landed in Barcelona. We caught the train into town and wandered down Las Ramblas to our hostel. It seemed that the hostel was perfectly situated, overlooking a square called Placa Reial (or the royal square).

We had some lunch at a restaurant on the square before walking through the centre of the city. Scooter's bags were "misplaced" by the airline, so he wanted to buy some clothes to tide him over before they found and delivered them.

We headed back to the hostel cause we were all stuffed. Considering people dont start eating dinner until around 10pm we decided to have a bit of a nap before heading out again.

After waking up (not at all refreshed) we headed out for some Tapas. After stopping for some coffee (where I had some hot chocolate the consistency of pudding) we headed back to the hostel for some rest.
