Day 18 I'm happy to repeat yesterday's efforts and spend the majority of he day on the beach but the weather has turned and it's pretty miserable outside, plus Ryan had a late one and isn't feeling fantastic. It's sounds slack but we didn't leave the apartment until 1pm both us lacking energy and motivation. Fatigue is starting to set in and I'm dwelling the long trip home. Ryan's also pretty anxious about travelling solo by himself for the last week of his tr...

Day 18 Woke up this morning feeling energised at the thought of spending some on the beach swimming in the surf. We made out way from the apartment around 10am and walked the bay to get some perspective of the town and foreshore. The weather is overcast, the sun breaks through in patches and is quite intense so I know sunscreen is a must when we head to the beach. We walked around 5km before working up a sweat and deciding to go for a swim. On our way we passe...

Day 17 I'm leaving Barcelona without seeing as much as I would have liked.

The bus trip to San Sebastián is 7 hours but I'm so exhausted that the majority of it is spent dozing away. The landscape is dry with the...

We decided it was a good idea to organise transport to San Sebastián for tomorrow so we headed off to Barcelona Sants which in the largest station in the city. Looking forward to drinking w...

Day 15 Woke up this morning feeling a little groggy. We seem to have this pattern of over doing it on the first night of somewhere new, buts that's okay we're having fun. We decided to take it very easy today and didn't leave the apartment until midday. The apartment has a lounge, two bathrooms and a washing machine. It is a luxury having clean clothes so Ive taken advantage of having a washing machine at my disposal. You need a map in Barcelona, it's a big p...
