Barcelona

Barcelona has been and gone.

We had two full days in Barcelona and it was HOT! It was over 30 degrees. We spent the first day at the beach and we visited Park Guell the next day - along with alot of walking.

Our accommodation was fine. A private room in an airbnb, it was a lovely wife and husband with a little girl. It's always a little awkward being in another person's home, but they were very welcoming and it seemed like Patricia really enjoyed being a host. They made us breakfast every morning too which was lovely.

We found that it was quite difficult in Barcelona with reading restaurant menu's and signs around the city as very few of them were translated into English .
Overall, we enjoyed Barcelona but it doesn't top Amsterdam!
Our plane to Paris was delayed by three hours at Barcelona airport so there was a lot of waiting around. We met a very nice family who were waiting for the same plane as us. They were American but had lived in Havelock North, NZ for a few years a couple of years ago. We gave their two children some cards to play with before they went crazy waiting around.
I will post an update of Paris soon!
