Barcelona

We arrived in Barcelona. Thanks to a smooth flight on British Airways. (Much smoother and more comfortable than (sl)easyJet on last weekend´s trip to Belfast - Big hello to John and his family for having us stay and showing us such a great time!)

We´re staying at a cheap hotel/pension just off Las Ramblas. There´s a stack of prostitues outside who work day and night trying to drum up business (we don´t have a view of them from our room though...) And we haven´t been hassled at all and the hotel is incredibly clean and comfortable - especially for the price!

We spend a bit of time at the beach today and saw a few of the sites.

I went to Barcelona a few years back and it´s really nice to see that the construction on the Sagrada Familia is progressing. It´s even more amazing than when I saw it before.

There´s no photos to put up here just yet - but stay tuned.
