Barcelona

Arrived in Barcelona this morning just before 10am. It seemed like a long trip as we left Corsica at 4pm yesterday.

We had breakfast outside while the ship was cruising slowly up the harbour then took our time disembarking. We bought tickets for the shuttle which took us to the World Trade Centre at the bottom of the famous Los Ramblos. It did not seem like a long way as you could see the ship from where they dropped us off, but walking would have involved quite a hike over an uphill then downhill bridge as well as negotiating the traffic! 

We took our time walking up La Ramble as it is signposted and stopped to buy water then found a lovely cafe where we got a wonderful cheese sandwich made with home made bread rolls fresh from the oven, still warm, with freshly squeezed orange juice. 

Took some detours and found some interesting places and shops. One was a fabric shop with patchwork and other stuff. Found an apron with elephants on it for Max to wear when he helps his mum with baking. 


All the shops seem to be having sales here. Lots of bargains to be had at big name shops too! 

Found a Disney shop...


We made our way back to the top of La Ramble and a couple of department stores. Bought a gelato and sat eating it by the main square. 


Lots of comings and goings including buses to and from the airport. 

We walked back down to the World Trade Centre to where the shuttle was waiting to take us back to the ship. 

Completed my walking ring on my watch today, nearly 12,000 steps and still counting as you do a lot of walking around the ship each day too!
