we got to barca late at night, after melissa already sprained her ankle and caitlin almost got pick pocketed we finally figured out where to go. we checked in to our hotel and ate and drank at the nearest place we could find. after a few we decided we wanted to see la playa. so we started walking...quickly we realized that we werent in the nicest of areas...we stopped for one more drink at a cafe and then continued on our adventure. it was almost 130am but we had heard that barca doesnt sleep so we werent too worried. after a few blocks we ran into a couple from holland and they asked us where we were going (probably bc we stood out all dressed up in such a dodgey area). the were sooo nice. the couple enthusiastically told us to go to port olympica and even hailed a cab for us in the right direction. so nice. and so we went. and wow. still hoppin. at 2am. crazy....so we danced and danced from club to club then finally went home. already we loved this place.
the next day we were determined to get a tan. so we went to the beach. all day. amazing. we had some beach drinks and enjoyed the sun and the mediterranean. we made a friend from michigan on the beach and ate a lovely dinner at an expensive seafood place. we went back to hotel rhonda and showered to get ready for the night. as we were all getting ready with the music up loud and our bottles of wine we hear a knock on the door. we answer and there is a australian asking us what we were getting into that night. we start talking and he tells us he has a guitar, 2 friends and some beer so naturally we invite them in. we had a sing along to some great jams and then decided to head out to see what this crazy city had instore for us. we went to razzamataz bc we heard all the hype. we were kinda dissapointed at the turn out but we were feeling good so we danced and enjoyed it anyways. everyone kind of coupled off. then we all headed to the beach and went swimming in the sea at night. it was great. another life accomplishment. ha.
next day we beached it even more. and loved life. that night we got ready and went and saw the magic fountian. it was pretty neat. disney tunes and all to the lights and water. amazing. then we all split up into taxis to go out and it turned out to be a bad idea for lack of money and mobiles. getting split up caitlin, matt, mitchell and i headed to the beach and just hung out all night. we walked a lot trying to find the others but it was a lost cause and we just enjoyed the weather and the beach.
the following day was also spent laying out all day, and some cannonballing into the sea. then we rinsed off and made our way home. delirious from the weekend and smelling awful we made it back to london with out getting pick pocketed and a nice tan. barcelona was so great. my favorite trip yet id say.
