I somehow appear to be in Barcelona... Not sure how that happened really, its a little surreal (as is the city).
I had planned on posting a follow up blog about returning to halls but I'm not ready to do that yet. Orignally there was only going to be one blog while I was here but it appears I am required to write a diary on this trip, so why not blog?
So, I can't speak a word of spanish :/ . We landed in barcelona at 4:35 pm - it was uneventful though the baggage area smelt of vanilla.
After getting to the hotel and having a meeting we were then set loose in the city.
-The cultural differances between the UK and contenental europe is huge - on a sunday night you wouldn't expect shops to still be open until 10 pm-
We found somewhere to eat (and we could even read the menu!). Ordering was a little complicated but we managed - the food was okay. And who can complain when ypou accidentally get a bottle of sparkiling wine free?
I can't forget to mention the guy we saw in the shop who was pretending his bottle of water was a baby (we woke it up - and it cried)
