It only took 5 weeks but summer finally reared her 38c head. Boy oh boy, did i get some sweat going, but i couldnt think of a more appropriate place to raise it than Barca. From the mesmerising Gaudi architecture and ancient narrow walkways of the gothic quarter.

Ahhh... the comforts of a nice B & B to recharge the batteries, have some nice pampering and feel the warm flow of a tender bidet. Just what I needed after 4.5 days of loving Krakow.
