Getting up after only 6hrs sleep is difficult but we managed and off we headed to the bus station for our bus to Granada. Again, we had booked our seats before we left and had allocated seats. Getting on the bus, they had free bottles of water for people and ear phones which we were soon to find out was for the individual tv screens at our seats. I like travelling in Spain. Slept for a couple of hours before putting on one of the few english movies they had. We s...

I had purchased the tickets back home and bought Tourist Preferente which meant 1st class sort of. Took our seats and not long into the ride they came along with OJ or water with some crackers. Not long after we were given a drinks menu which included wine, beer and spirits. With these drinks we were given 2 types of ½ sand...

So after a bit of a sleep in we decided to have a lazy morning and wait until this afternoon to head out. Spent a few hours by the pool, mum not brave enough to get in but I love the water and get in any moment I can.

Such a mix of food, colour and noise. Continued down La Rambla, past all the bea...

Jet lag getting better. Awake at 6am this morning. We had tickets for Sagrada Familia today for 9am so off we headed to attempt the Metro for the first time, which is pretty easy. The metro pops you right outside the church so as you come out, there it is, although surrounded by fences as the building work is going strong. Will be interesting to look at my photos from 10 years ago and see the differences. Stopped in a local cafe for breakfast, practiced some of ...
