I woke up on my first day in Barcelona at 10am, still on Moroccan time and having arrived at the hostel at 2am last night, not the best start.I managed to find the Arc de Triomf and La Ramba, before deciding that I had worn the wrong shoes and needed to go back to the hostel and change, of course I got a little lost on the way, but nothing like in Marrakech of course. I think I could handle any getting lost situation after that.My s***ty little camera had also run out of battery, so I spent quite a lot of the day on the net here which is free. I did however, take care of one order of business and got a good feed at Maccas !

I managed to get out again at 4pm, and went directly to La Rambla, marvelling at all the shops, exotic pets, here you can buy Iguanas as well as Chameleons. There were lots of flower selleers including one lady selling blue roses.I walked right down to the dock and then on the way back I went in the church of the Holy Cross, which was the most spectacular church I think I´ve ever seen. I then went back to the hotel to research flamenco dancing on the net.

I found one that was quite close and got the metro to Placa Rial, it only cost 6 Euro and I got to see a real Spanish band as well. The dancer was very good and it was wonderful to see Flamenco, dancing in Spain.Another thing to cross off the list, as well as the cobras, although ever so slightly less dangerous.
