barcelona. barceLONA. barCELONA. BARCELONA! with the 3 day trip behind me, it felt like a dream. intense sightseeing, gorgeous atmosphere, inspiration, the walking, the listening, the culture, the language, gaudi, picasso, miro...its already faded in my memory and i can remembering it all happening like an old motion picture.

 

 

day 1. (sat, 14th april)

 

10am - showered and packed, waiting for miho to arrive and ready to go.

12 noon - arrive early for the flight, miho's bag was too suspicous for customs security so we had to wait ages for them to go through every single item in the bag.

13.50 - find out plan's and hour late... after standing in line for an hour by the gate. 

17.50 - barcelona time^^, finally arrive in girona, we lost an hour of time travelling over europe.

20.00 - waiting in front of our apartment building, home for the next 3 nights. noticed cute candy shop right next door, neighbouring a chinese internet cafe call 'yu zhou'. girl arrives on a vespa and hands over the keys and we climb into a small old fashioned lift to get to our shared apt.

20.30 - so excited about seeing the city, we leave our stuff in the room and venture outside in search of spanish food.

21.45 - after promenading down la ramblas and exploring into the depths of the gothic area, we find a uteservering by the catedral. i ordered v. expensive seafood paella and we filled out stomaches to our content.

22.35 - discovered the cutest little street full of cosy bars and colorful graffitti, walked down to the harbour

23.50 - so exhausted from walking, decided to head back up Via Laietana and back to the apartment
