Photos need to accompany this post so that´ll be a separate entry when I get back to Italy. One night in Barcelona has officially blown away 10 days in Roma. Maybe its because its more metropolitan but the people! the buildings! the things to do! There´s so much to keep my head spinning. And the hostel I´m currently staying in is the first I´ve ever been in but I have a feeling every one I will be at thus after has big shoes to fill. Free internet, neat beds, nutella for breakfast and ... the nightlife is fantastic beyond words.
This guy at my hostel took my entire group and met up with another hostel to hustle us into taxis like a herd of sheep and sent us to a nightclub on a BEACH. Entrance was free for us and these stairs on the boardwalk and first drink was on the house too. It was a swanky place with a 10,000 euro bottle Dom Perignon on the menu O_o and the audience was dressed to the nines. One guy barely got in since he was sporting a sweatshirt and a lot of sharper dressed Spaniards couldn´t get in past the bouncer later. The Mediterranean Sea was crashing waves right in the back porch of the club (Carpe Diem, which means ¨seize the day¨ in Latin). What a way to start a weekend in Barcelona out right.
And today? Drove around a mini motorcycle-go cart hybrid all around the city for 3 hours, getting lost, pulling in the sights and getting stares and waves from everyone who gawped at the bright yellow vehicle and the obvious tourists (moi) within. I must have circled the entire city and am still in shock I could even navigate the roads of a major European city. But it´s time for a ¨siesta¨now, a slang term to take a nap while everyone else takes breaks from work all around.
