Arrival in Barcelona




At last we have arrived in Barcelona! The weather is beautiful and it doesn´t look like we will be needing all those heavy jumpers afterall. Most of us got at least some sleep on the flight and enjoyed the shopping in Bahrain and Istanbul. After we checked into our hotel and unpacked, we walked to the Sagrada Familia which is a huge ediface began by the architect Gaudi and is actually still under construction today! It was extremely impressive with many fantastical images both traditional and modern and everyone enjoyed the fast lift to the top of one of the towers to enjoy a view over Barcelona - we could even pick out our hotel! We walked back to the bottom down narrow medieval steps.




After such an exhausting journey and all the excitement of getting ready we are glad to have an early night in preparation for another great day tomorrow.
