More Barcelona - 29 - 31 October

 We spent Sunday afternoon with Diego, walking from Gracia into the centre of town, getting lost and finding our way again, stopping for a drink (over 10 km by the time we got back to our apartment).  It was a beautiful day to be alive! 



I was the tour guide - looks like I was on a mission!


Fabulous little bar, Andurina. In tourist area so low expectations. The Grilled calamari was superb!
We stopped outside Barcelona Cathedral to watch some performers (there must have been 300-400 people watching. I stood behind Peter & one of the guys pointed our way. I looked behind because I thought 'no way he means me'. Not sure why he called me out but had a quick chat & back to Peter & Diego I went. Fun though.

Today, Tuesday, we did a guided tour of the Palau de la Musica, a beautiful concert venue. Antoni Gaudi was actually taught by the architect who designed the building. We have attended two concerts here but have never been on a tour. It was really interesting & worth the 16 Euro (senior's discount Ha, Ha).

The Catalan Flag is represented a lot throughout the building. 




Tomorrow is All Saints Day and a public holiday in Spain. Albert & Diana are closing their cafe for three days and taking us on a magical mystery tour to the Mountains north of Barcelona. They tell us that we will be sleeping under the stars and will provide warm sleeping bags. We have no idea if they're serious so watch this space!

Hello Europe

Image
  We arrived in Frankfurt at 6.30 am Saturing after an eight hr stopover in Saigon. A wonderful foot massage helped pass a little of the time. Frankfurt Airport is massive. We sailed through Customs in no time & thought, this is a breeze! Three hours later we were boarding the train to Cologne. After having difficulty (with the rest of the plane) finding the correct baggage collection, it looked like my bag didn't arrive as it wasn't on the carousel. We were reporting this when  Peter saw it standing on its lonesome on the floor next to the carousel. I just beat a Security Guard to it and confirmed it was mine.  What a relief!  Surprisingly, the German train system has a reputation for running late and they didn't disappoint. We left on time but took 'the tourist route' to Cologne with the one hour trip taking three hours.  Possibly Rhine Reisling vines? Cruising down the Rhine After checking into our hotel, to help with jet lag we hit the streets of Cologne...

Solo Train Trip to Tarragona - 10-12th Nov

Image
  I caught the train to Tarragona on Fri 10th for the weekend. Tarragona is just over an hour south of Barcelona and was a very pleasant trip by the Mediterranean. Tarragona is best known for its Roman ruins but is also a very pretty city, particularly with the lovely weather I experienced.  I booked an apartment close to the centre and the host left a bottle of red wine and a pkt of yummy chocolate wafer biscuits.   First stop was the Tourist Info Centre, followed by a visit to the Mercat Central where I had a light lunch at the counter of a bar.  So simple but the combo was delicious, with slices of quince paste giving it a real lift.  I visited the Praetorium & Roman Circus Fri night. Compared to 4 pm, the streets were packed at 8/9 pm (it's what happens in Spain).  Saturday morning was Cathedral time - very impressive! Consecrated in 1331.  My favourite part of any cathedral, as Helen & Iain know, is the cloister. I do love a good cloi...

Athens - 17-20 October

Image
  We arrived a little overdressed (20 deg C) at our apartment in Athens, ‘We Saw Athens’ at 10.30 pm and were met by our host, Penny. It was a spacious studio; apartment located just five minutes’ walk from the main metro station, Syntagma.   After Cologne, we agreed that Athens had a lovely vibe. Penny recommended some places for a late dinner and we enjoyed a light dinner and wine before bed at 1.00 pm (good practice for Spain!).    I had downloaded a travel app called Rick Steves Audio Europe before leaving home. It includes audio tours of different cities. The two I downloaded was a one-hr Athens – City Walk and a 50 min Acropolis tours . We used one Bluetooth ear pod each and found both tours to be very informative and easy to follow. I would highly recommend checking this option out.  Kapnikarea Church – a Greek Orthodox church built in the 12th & 13 th centuries.   I call the scarf I’m wearing, Barb’s scarf. When admiring the scarf a year...
