Sup! Today is our first full day of cultural encounters and do we have some tales! Well. Yes, we do. We had free pancakes for breakfast with strawberry and apple (yes apple) marmalade which was interesting. Good pancakes though. Anyway to start off our day we walked to Plaza de Catalunya and spent about an hour trying to find the right bloomin bus to get to Parc Guéll - which is a park full o culture mate! Of Antoni Gaudi. arty farty. The bus was really busy and we had to stand squished at the doors for quite a while - in the meantime foreign bus users kept saying things to Anna and giving her funny looks.
This was because she was actually being mugged.
The whole thing is quite funny really, because, Anna who is one to not be mugged quietly jumped off the bus and shouted "Heeeyyyyy! You´ve got my stuff! You´ve got my stuff, give it back!" and frantically grabbed the blokes bag.
To which he did! So phew, the day was saved, and Anna had her purse, and now we´re even more aware of people nicking. And people, in general.
So we got to the park (by which point we decided we deserved an ice cream after all the excitement), and took lots of photos of all the pretty mosaics. We also did some band-dancing (to the bands). We have lots of photos which will be uploaded at some point. Then we came back to have a siesta (not fiesta - quote: "isnt that a car!?") and had ravioli and tomato sauce and synthetic cheese for lunch. Yum in my Tum.
After our nap, we went to the Arc de Triomf and looked at it for a bit. More photos. Then we walked to the main park where anna was so tired she had to have a little nap. Then we contemplated doing some rowing on the lake but the water was too green, a little off putting, so thats one activity for manyana. And now we are at the hostel. Til tomorrow! Or the day after.
The end. Love B and Anna xx
