So after the struggle to stay awake long enough to battle jet lag we managed to get a solid 12hrs sleep! Sharing a room with a friendly guy from istanbul, who we thought was French, but he's just living in Paris yet we can't remember or understand his name! So Istanbul guy is what we will refer to him as. So we got up around 8.30 got some breakfast at the hostel, yeah I did get paid out for wearing my collingwood singlet but who cares we thrashed freo! Lol. Reling Heavily in google maps we set out to find la rambla, and we did about a 15min walk from the hostel. There stood a massive Christopher Colombo statue taking one pic with paige's SLR before it died, damn who thought a battery might need charge! We opted for my digi then wandered down the marina to the beach ah leather and spedos everywhere let's just say were glad some Aussie men take pride in boardies. We
Walked by the casion before heading back towards the city yep we might have been lost until we found the arch thing yet i'm great with my land marks, but were no too fussed as were coming back to Barcelona. We came across a cathedral had a walk around before heading back to la rambla. Mainly because we both needed to go the toilet note, you need to get ur toilet paper before heading into the loo! After that adventure we wandered up la rambla looking at the market stalls before hitting a food market fresh produce and meat at every turn. Here's one fore you the even sell tripe, pigs heads and some cat looking thing yuck! We grabbed some fruit salad And made our way out to the side walk for some alfresco dining Aka parking our buts on the path near some other backpackers to eat our fruit salad, some fruit was pretty underwelming like the melon but amazing strawberries and kiwi fruit. Next paige was on a mission H&M which we found with out google maps! Zara and top shop followed but we didn't buy anything we still have plenty of time. By now havianas weren't the best choice of foot wear but we learn from our mistakes( we hope). more wandering and we were over it! A quick stop back at the market for froZen yogurt and we draged our sore feet back to the hostel for a Arvo on the deck! By about 8 we decided best to figure our moves for the next day to Valencia, and food! Yep we ventured to get some authentic cuisine paella And sangria yum! We ate then jet lag hit again or maybe it was the 8hrs in havianas. But we made our way back to the hostel had some more sangria before deciding bed was the best move. Just as we were dozing off we gained a new roomie a irish guy, ah the accent so nice! But oh well sleep was actually more interesting, interrupted again by a call from mum which was ok, i suppose. Lol then I was finally asleep!
