Journal about Barcelona

I have been in Barcelona since New year by myself. Now Im back in Liverpool.
I love travelling round alone. I can daydream whole time and I see everything as much as I want.

1st January 2006

Woke up at 11am, feeling dizzy. I guess I had flu. It was great start.
Left home at 3 to John Lennon Liverpool airport.
checked-in.
left to Barcelona at 9pm. I was feeling really dizzy and had headache, but somehow I knew I would be okay when I got there.

so I arrived at barcelona airport, and took bus to Estacio Sants. (I was not so sure that I was on the right bus or not.)

got to a youth hostel at 11pm. and slept feeling really tired.

2rd January 2006

Woke up at 10:30am. I was feeling better so I followed my plan I had been making when I was in London.



First , went to Temple de la Sagrada Familia. I have been dreaming to see this for ages. Went up to the top. It was beautiful weather too. then I had to go down the spiral stairs. It was like this



I was soo scared. Im so scared of being high place. I was shaking whole time unable to see things. By the time I got on the ground, I felt alive.

then looked round the temple.





then I went to the main street called Las Ramblas. There were loads of street performers.



at the end of the street, I saw Monument a Colom (the tower of Columbus).



then saw beautiful sea. I stayed there for few hours



then walked back in to the street. went to the barcelona cathedral which was big, but not as big as liverpool cathedral. Then wandered around the main street.
I poped in to a random shop for dinner.
well, I tried to speak in Spanish when I order. I suck at spanish, Im gonna learn it for my third language.
I had snails (Escargo?). It was oily and tasty. When I thought that I used keep a snail as a pet in Japan when i was a kid, I felt a bit sick but it was nice. I liked it.




After dinner, I went to the hostel and slept at 11pm.

3rd January 2006

I was really looking forward this day because it was the day I was going to Dali Museum in Figueres, 2hours far from Estacio Sants by the train. Dali has been the most favourite artist for me since I was in primary school. I copied one of his work as a homework.

Well, I woke up at 7am, feeling much much better. and got on the train at 9:21am. I was studying Spanish til I got Figueres.

First I went to the museum of toys, it was really interesting too.
Then now, it was time to see what I have been dreaming about.




I was gobsmacked for few seconds. "Im finally here" I thought
then went in. It was more then I was expecting.

then I got on the train back to Estacio Sants at 7pm. got back at Hostel at 9pm.
I wasnt too tired, so I decided to pop in a local pub. I found a small local pub around the hostel. had a espanol beer. then I tried to speak to pepole works there in Spanish. hmm, I really wish I could speak in Spanish well. I defenately will study that. oh yeah it was true that "Spanish girls are hot."

anyway, third day in barcelona was finished.

4th January 2006

woke up at 9am.
went to Parc Guell. It was also Gaudi's Work. stayed there for a bit and enjoyed sun and atmospher.





then went to National Art Museum of Catalunya. It was enomous.




then went to Milo Museum.



It was time to go and see flamenco.



was great, actually. I would like to learn spanish guitar.

5th January 2006

woke up at 11am. still feeling a bit unwell.

went to see Casa Mila, one of other Gaudi's works






then Casa Batllo, the other Gaudi's works.







It was just amaging. Im sure that I will be quite a connoisseur.

then I went to 4 Gats(Cats), the famous cafe which piccaso and many artists used to go to. they put me at the edge of the room which was quite nice.



had wine, and paella. I didnt know how to eat a prawn so I had to leave it...



after lunch, I went to Piccaso Museum. I was also great. (everything was great in barcelona so I cannot describe it)

then I again went to see the tower of Columbus. I thought this was the place you would swear things for the adventures. so I wished "please no more going to a wrong airport or missing a plane."

at 9:50pm, I left bacelona. the plane was delayed as usual.

I guess it was the best trip by myself I ever had.

Now, I have to do loads of washing...

C for Crap
