After our day of park hopping we decided to make our way to Giron which is an hour train ride North of Barcelona. It was so cute and rustic looking
We explored the old town a bit then came back to the hostel where we met Silca a really nice German girl who we went out to dinner with.
Girona was even prettier at night which gave us the perfect opportunity for a bridge shot.
We woke up bright and early because the free breakfast ended at 9:30 and went to the Jewish museum. Girona has a really interesting medievil history and the museum was really cool and nell got really into this really over acted intense video and was sitting there for about half an hour
We then walked around in "the call" which is the Jewish Quarter
The night we decided to celebrate our 2 month travel anniversary with a big exciting splurge. we had a 3 course meal with bread and wine and we attempted to be posh and speak in vaguely english accents
Pretty sure that meal probably could have fed about 4 people plus a couple starving african children.
The only down side to all the food was the amount of effort it took getting up 3 flights of stairs at the end of the night.
The next day we decied to take a day trip to Figueres which is the home of Dali and has a massive Dali museum.We arrived at the train station and being the cheap geniuses we are, we ignored advice from train station guy and instead of taking a bus 2 stops we attempted to follow the bus to the Dali Museum.. who knew 2 bus stops could be so far away.
On the plus side we found variety store where we found some stylish glasses, bought some much needed superglue and a disposible camera for la tomatina
The museum was really intriguing and kind of trippy. Dali designed the actual museum itself. Even if you're not a fan of Dali, you cant deny the museum is entertaining.
We stopped back at Girona to get our bags, and had an exciting Spanish conversation at the hostel. After a lot of contradicting directions we were on the train in the direction of St Vincenc de Calders. Too bad we missed the last stop. We had a confusing conversation with the security guard later and stopped for half an hour in the middle of nowhere and finally the train started moving.
I wont go into detail about the few hours but about 2 hours later we found the hostel. It wasnt long until we realised that we had inadvertently crashed a summer camp. I think the fifty 12 year olds and chanting were the give away.
There were more photos but I got in trouble for taking photos of the children and was forced to deleted them...
Weirdest day ever
