Hola!

Back and tired!!!

My 2 nights stay in Barcelona was a fun and tiring one!! walked non-stop to as many places as possible in a single day!!!

We managed to go many famous places in Barcelona like the beach and some of the famous architectures. We first went to this place called the Park Güell. It is a 18 ha wide garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of el Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. Most of the designs are like mosaic tiles, so very colourful and vibrant. According to wikipedia, its part of UNESCO's world heritage site!

Plaza Catalunya was one of the first place we went cuz it was the centre of everything. we arrived at night and it was the place where we had our first dinner...althought it was McD's it was a total different experience cuz everything is in Spanish! and the Big Mac is so tiny! no wonder Spanish girls are so thin and sexy! anyway...it was a place where all the high fashion designer brands were, like gucci and things like that...too expensive for me so all we did was window shop! walked around before heading to our hostel!

The next day, we went to a few other places like the Parc De L'espanya Industrial, FC Barcelona (which was closed cuz we didnt get to go in), Magic fountain(which was not magical at all),La Catedral, Monument A Colom and other which the names are just a pain to remember! the architecture there are very nice and makes you feel that it is a very beautiful country eventhough it is a little dirty. With dog shits everywhere, it is a little difficult to walk freely and to be in the moment where you think you are back in time in history!!

We also went to the beach, Barceloneta. Being the winter, no one dared to go near the water so we just took pictures by the beach and it was fun and COLD! the wind was so windy that people were surfing!!! FREAKS i'd say being that the water is SOOO COLD!!!!! it would have been fun if it was the summer and having a sun-bathing session on the beach...or just lying there looking at all the HOT AMAZINGLY GOOD LOOKING GUYS!! DRooollllssss

We too the Metro train everywhere we went because most of the attractions were all metro-assessible! which makes things a lot easier...but i dont think that i have gone on the the metro so many times in a day!!! in and out of the metro like 10 times?? madness....and some thing bad happened in the train!!! I was almost pick-pocketed.... i guess I was picked pocketed but my friend manage to snatch the wallet back from that B***H!! yes..it was a girl and her guy friends who tried to distract me!! they said i stepped on one of the guys shoe and he made a big deal out of it! and while i was being distracted, the girl put her hands into my bag and picked my wallet out!! it all happened so fast, even when my friend took tried to tell me that what was really happening, it didnt register!! DAMN!! After the whole incident, i really was so shocked that I couldn't do or say anything!! You'd always think that this kinda thing will only happen to others but not you. and when it happens to you, it is all unexpected and you are really caught in the moment!!! Thanks Lenz, for acting quickly!! if not...my wallet with MONEy all GONE!!!! GRATEFUL!!

Overall it was a good holiday despite something bad almost happened. It was really a lot of fun being with friends and being a crazy bunch it made it all so much more memorable! I would love to go back there again to go see more things that i didnt manage to see this time, just have to remember to keep things safe and beware of pick-pockets!! Start saving now to go on more holidays!!!

Till then Cheers!
