Arrived in Barca following a super smooth fight with spectacular views over the alps. Swift baggage handling meant were in our taxi and enroute to the avendida palce hotel within 20mins of landing. Hotel based at top of la ramblas in l'eixample area - near the posh shops. Took in some of the sights including la sagrada familia and casa batllo. La pedera is covered for s refurb. So then it was dos san miguel per favour time, before a snack and back to the roo...

Well, after two amazing two weeks we arrived at our last day, a chance to wind down you might think. Hell no, not us! After the dissapointment of Lewis leaving his favoured cap on the transformer ride yesterday he was determined to take on Manta at seaworld, have opted out first time round.

After finishing off with a lig floom and a calm ride we came back and whilst lewis and steve ...

A quick visit to epcot to get our favourite test track ride in one more time, provided an opportunity to try a couple of educational rides - one about senses and one about storms. Lewis and Ethan also had a go on a ride whereby they created a virtual rollercoaster then experienced it in a simulator. Some people had quite violent manouveres whereas the boys looked a little more sedate. We then cam back to the pool to 'muck About' , top up the tan and have a milk...
