Barcelona Day 3 Monday 28th April

Barcelona Day 3

 

 

Good morning Amy – rise and shine shutters open :o)

 

 

Amy’s thirsty ha ha!!  She’s got the 6litre of water that we got from the

supermarket for 60 cents, bargain!

 

Amy’s biggest fan ha ha!!  I promised Amy I would buy her a proper fan when

we were in Barcelona and I did!

 

Stopping for lunchtime pudding before we head out for the day, yummy!

 

We were waiting for Colin coming out of the baker and Amy started laughing

her head off and then showed me what she was pointing at!!!!

 

Happy faces all round :O))))

 

 

Our first point of call today - Font Magica Monjuic

 

 

 

Closer view without the ugly mugs!!

 

 

Which way???

Really good, but really weird seeing escalators outside and at a historic building

but certainly saved us climbing ALL the stairs!!

 

We made it to the top of the hill!!

 

 

On your marks, get set, GO!!

The Olympic stadium for 1992 Olympics - Estadi Olimpic

 

The javelin throwing!

 

The Anderson team, think the dude at the back is still winning though ha ha!!

 

The view over Barcelona but also the view we had

when we stopped for our picnic lunch, absolutely gorgeous!

 

Yummy sandwiches xx

 

 

We then walked to the Castell De Montjuic Cable Car,

this was on Amy's wishlist - tick complete

 

 

 

Amy fascinated with the cable cars climbing up to the Castle and the view over the city below

 

The top of the cable car ride

 

The moat of the Castle!!

 

Big boys and their toys is all I can say!!

 

 

OK now it is medium-ish girl and massive cannon!!  Ha ha!!

 

Busy port - loads of boats, cruise ships, aeroplane in shot just away to land and helicopter just

landing out of shot!

 

Overlooking the port and up towards the beaches

 

Going down now!

 

Here is the tourist guide with commentary hee hee!!

 

Colin's favourite view of the tree lined roads in amongst the buildings

 

On our way down from the cable car, cheeky Amy ha ha!!

 

So the photo starts off with Amy go and sit as if your sitting on her knee!

 

Then Colin says we could pretend it is Mummy and I could go into the photo for a cuddle!

WOOPS Colin where is your hand!!

 

As I am asking Colin to remove his hand from the female statue an American couple walk by and say let us take a photo of you guys in the same pose but with me covering Amy's eyes, hilarious!!!

 

Colin took this photo of the birds and thinks it would be a prize winning photo!!

 

We stopped for snack on the side of the Marina, beautiful yachts and plenty of them!

 

Watch out he's 'Armless' ha ha!!!

 

Oh hello Missy xx

 

We've made it down to Barceloneta Beach, shoes off!!

 

Paddling duo, water bit nippy!

 

So Colin saw this guy on the beach and reckons he might look like him either after 3 months of travelling or maybe being unemployed for 6 months!!! Heaven help us hee hee!! 

 

We walked to the Hop on Hop off bus stop to get a lift home!

 

So Amy and I head home as it is tea time and the girls are hungry!  Colin stayed on the hop on hop off bus and completed the line which we didn't manage to see yesterday.

Funny Colin took a photo of us leaving the bus and I took a photo of him still on the bus!

 

 

 These are Colin's photos from the remainder of the tour xx

 

 

The train station, we've flown in and flying out so don't need train station tomorrow!

 

Camp Nou for FC Barcelona

 

Colin said we didn't miss much at all by getting off the bus, thank goodness for that :o)

 

We've really struggled to find a Barcelona sticker but Colin managed to find one when he got off the bus tour, clever Daddy XXX

 

So here we are another city completed, we have travelled through 4 different countries and 4 different languages!  Here we go again tomorrow Berlin Ja Ja!!!
