Our day today was spent being ordinary tourists in ordinary clothes. Up early to get in the queue to see La Sagrada Família. A giant church designed by gaudi and still incomplete. A work in progress for more than a century. Look like a giant melting wax structure.
I guess once a walking pilgrim always a walker. The rest of the day was spent literally walking all over the place and getting lost in some of the most beautiful tiny streets and alleys in this city.
In the afternoon we found the sprawling Park Guell, another Gaudi innovation. Barcelona is his city.
This place is gated, fantasy park created for barcelonas rich to play. My favourite part was the Banc de Trencadis which was a wide open space with a georgeous curving bench covered in broken tiles and crockery, fabulous
As I write this blog I am sitting out on the deck of our hotel, have a couple of very nice rum and cokes, another treasure we found in our bag. The duty free rum!
This will be our last post as tomorrow we will begin the journey home. It's been an extraordinary holiday/ adventure, I hope at some stage we will be able to put into perspective what we have done.
Can't wait to see you all, you know who you are.
Adios
