Barcelona

As per my good mate Lauren Dunphy would say: Barcelona is just devine! We were so lucky that the weather was so warm that we were able to enjoy the beaches surrounding Barcelona. Some of our trips highlights were:
1) Gaudi's Park Guell - I cant believe that I finally saw that freak'n mosaic lizard. I took about 50 shots of the lizard.
2) Las Rambla - Walking through Las Rambla felt like walking through Newtown Festival (yes there were plenty of hippies!). There were so many people pretending to be statues and expecting you to pay them money for being still (this is an ideal job for CAS's finished artist Ian). Like Portugal people kept offering us "hashish". Scott and I also saw lots of thieves snatching bags.
3) The internet cafe - While we were checking our emails someone crawled under our table and tried to snatch Scott's bag. Luckily he spotted the thief and yelled "Are you ok there" and the crim backed away and mumbled something in Spanish.
4) The pastries - We gained a few kilos trying out all the wonderful cakes and pastries during our morning, afternoon and late evening snack breaks. (see Scott's pic below when he decided to be a good boy and not have any pastry for a day).
5) Siesta time - There were people asleep everywhere you look (see pics).
