Didn´t manage a blog yesterday as I wanted to get some more stuff done before I left. Went to Europe´s largest flea market in the morning which was absolutely mental but pretty fun. Then took Maia to the train station and headed into the centre of Paris for one last bit of touristyness. Went to visit the Musee D´Orangerie which was home to a huge collection of Monet´s water lillies. I realise this makes me an uncultural slob, but I was kind of underwhelmed by them. The impressionist art downstairs was far more interesting! Anyway, I then headed back to the hostel to pick up my stuff and off to the train station I went... 3 HOURS EARLY. I miss-remembered my train time grrr. At least it was in the right direction hey. Sat by the Seine for an hour or so which was nice i guess.

Just reached Barcelona. It. Is. So. Hot. Had a terrible nights sleep on the over night train, was prodded like a dog to be woken up and then spent about an hour trying to find my very well hidden hostel. Hurumph. Glad i´m finally here though. Weather is gorgeous and the area i´m in is buzzing. Can´t wait to go exploring... xx
