Today we rode the Barcelona Hop on off Buses all day. Visited all parts of the city on the excellent buses which run from 10am to 8pm. Photo shows us on the last bus of the night which we caught from Parc Guell- Gaudi's park- at 9pm. In between we saw the city and its many wonderfully architected buildings from the top deck, hopped off for the cable car over the harbor and back, had drinks in the hot sunshine on the mountain, walked around the amazing Sagrada Familia which has enthralled Jeannie so we are going back on Sunday, and travelled on to Parc Guell - equally amazing. The climb to the top of the park and then the clamber up the Monument was reminiscent of climbing one of the hilltop edifices in Siem Reap adjacent to Angkor Wat, but worth it. Steep street climb to the Parc though but a must-see. Walking back down we thought we had missed the last bus, but there it was so we got to finish the route in the deepening twilight at 10pm. Had a sidewalk "dinner" at Ottos, then strolled home. Interesting to watch the waiter standing tray in hand waiting for the traffic light to cross from the restaurant.
