Barcelona has been a great change from Swizerland.
It is so hot here that I feel as though I am melting! I have gone swimming on most days either at our pool or at the desert-like Barceloneta Beach. It is lively here in a way that is definately lacking in other western european cities.The streets (particularly Las Rambles) are packed with bewildered tourists, hippy types, street performers, elaborately dressed mimes,etc. Its noisy and a bit chaotic and some of the buildings look rather bizarre particularly Gaudi´s artitectural monstrocities like Sagrada Familiara and Casa Mila.

It´s my last day here in Barcelona. I can´t believe I have been here for 5 days already! I fly to Frankfurt tomorrow and Athens the day after. Greece is apparently ablaze....mmm that should be interesting.
I am used to the fires every summer in Sydney but I cant say I want to tour around a country when its on fire!

    Hi Eve,

    Long time reader, first time poster :)
    I have been loving reading all of your journal entries, please keep them coming... and thank you for all the postcards, they're all so beautiful!

    You have no idea how much you have inspired me to travel. So much that I have decided to even visit a few cold places during my trip OS next year.... the hot springs of Iceland here I come!

    Keep up the fun times...

    Miss you heaps,
    Nancy
