Last night, Barcelona FC were playing, and although we didn’t have tickets, we decided to walk to the stadium anyway. There were many ‘oooo’ ‘ahhh’ moments coming from the stadium, which is funny to hear without seeing the game! 

The plan for today was to visit the beach! 
This, however, was not close! Luckily, it’s a nice walk to the beach, and in 15C temperature, it’s nice but not uncomfortable. 

We took a walk through the ports, across a bridge and to the marina, where there were many boats we cannot afford!

After a few hours just walking around, we came to the beach which was very busy! We decided we fancied a beer, so we purchased one each, took off our shoes and took a seat on the beach with a beer! 

Nice relaxing Sunday, as it should be! 

Tomorrow, the plan is to find out the name of the castle on the top of the hill and how to get there, and we want to get there before sunrise on Tuesday so we can see it from the hill, which would be amazing!

Relaxing walking was on the schedule today, as well as a look around the Art museum, as it’s free after 3pm on Saturdays! 

We left the room at about 12pm and stopped off in a cafe for a coffee, though it was good fun explaining what an Americano/Black Coffee was! 

After this, we decided to get lunch…found a place we know well! 

Once we ate, we headed off through town and just kept walking! There are a lot of large buildings here in Barcelona, and a lot of cool looking buildings! See a couple below and more on our Facebook page! 

We found an IKEA,but decided not to enter,  as it was Saturday so very busy! 

We turned back and walked through town, and then headed to the museum for our free entry! Turns out, art museums are not too interesting, so we left that and made our way home. 

Tonight we’ve got not much planned, but need to look into and potentially book our next place, which we will be moving on to Thursday! We have some ideas!

This morning, after a long night of traveling, we woke up and decided we needed to go for a shop! 

After finding a local supermarket, we did our should for what should be 3-4 days, costing just the equivalent of £12! 

We found some cheap croissants, €1 for 2, and ate those for breakfast. 
After breakfast, we went for a walk to find the Olympic park. Just the Olympic park…This soon changed! 

We walked past the Art Museum and found the Olympic park, which was awesome with great views of Barcelona. 

After the Olympic park we found another park which again had great views of the city, but also some nice areas within it. We kept seeing parrots in the area too, which was strange! 

We managed to… ‘borrow’… Some oranges from a nearby tree, too! 

Now we’re back making dinner in the apartment, planning what we will do tomorrow. We may go for a walk later, too! 
We’d also like to introduce a new feature which will take place on our Facebook page (Click ‘Social Media’ link at top of page) which will be called ‘Phrase of the Day’. This will be a phrase in the language of the country we are in! Be sure to check that out. 

Also, another notice to please remember to check out our photos on Facebook also. You can click the ‘Photos’ menu at the top of the page, which will take you there!
