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!

We departed for our day trip on a boat from Otres Beach on Tuesday and that took us snorkelling around a couple of the surrounding islands. We visited elephant rock for some cliff diving..(Theo jumped but not I!) Spot the cliff diver! Then we headed for Koh Ta Kiev where the other people on the boat were just visiting for a few hours and then going back to the mainland, whereas we decided to stay. The tour guide spoke very little English so it was impossible explaining to him where we wanted to be dropped off (especially because we didn't know where it was exactly!) so he ended up stopping the boat and we had to get off right there. We had to carry our 18kg bags on our heads to get them on and off the boat dry Where are we??? !! We discovered that people br...

$1 Camper!

Hi all! Yesterday we picked up our $1 a day relocation camper from Las Vegas..we have four days in this lovely beast and we are driving it to Denver Colorado. There's a lot more room than our dodge caravan that's for sure! It's got a full sized shower, toilet, kitchen with fridge,oven , microwave. It even extends out once parked to make more room! We fly out of Denver on the 13th to Washington DC for a few days or so. We'll then head to New York. :-) Everything is swell!  Woohoo! Super excited! Breakfast this morning made by the fabulous Grace
