chubba chubs and Barcelona

We arrived in Barcelon early in the morning ready to crash on a bed or a beach or really anything solid. But of coarse this was not possible because we chose the cheapest hostel with the most complicated direction situated on a massive hill. After alot of confusion, some help from train staff and a very sweaty walk up a very large hill we arrived at our hostel with a really cool view of barcelona city. 

On the plus side of were we were staying there were a riduculous amount of supermarkets so we called it the supermarket district... So we stocked up on food and were off the the pasa de gracia where we followed the guidebooks "must do list " in barcelona and did alot of shopping and got very excited but cheap clothes. And by the end of the day we not only got new clothes but there was hope that me and shanelle would occationally not be matching and people wont think that we are trying to be twins which is really money well spent. 

We then moved on to Boqueria Market where we got overly excited by fruit, crepes and vegtarian tapas and pretty much planned what we were going to eat from there for the next few days.

We then had our much missed staple dish of spagetti with tomato sauce sadly i didnt realise that the spagetti packet was already open so it all fell on the floor so i embarresed myself infront of our new swiss friend and we had pasta with a dirty floor taste twist? 

The next day we went to La Rambla, walked though some cute ally ways,

 saw the concert hall

 and then decided that we were going to be frluent in spanish by then end of our two weeks and so we headed to the port and took out the phrase book we are really bueno!

 We then went to a Gaudi tour around Barcelona we first went to his first commision which was a lamp post and then Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, Palue Guel and  his most famous building segrada fimiliar. 

 Fun Fact of the day:  DID YOU KNOW that Dali designed the chubba chub logo! I got a free chubba chub for guessing :)

 The next day we decided the explore the socalled "beautiful parks of Barcelona" we had some issues finding these parks..

 The map lead us astray..

But what we did find was a really cool graffiti park and we met a graffiti artist from Brazil
