My last days in Barcelona were just as good as the first. Luey and I wandered from coffee shop to coffee shop, through the markets, and back again, before we decided a siesta was needed. We spoiled ourselves with the free dinner that we had won where we started talking to two Parisian girls and spent the evening eating ice cream and speaking in broken french. We then moved on to a backpackers pub crawl where we met many new people and experienced the crazy Spanish party scene. Friday was spent in a tired haze but we managed to drag ourselves out of bed to go to Parc Guell. Expecting a lush park where we could relax after a busy night, we got off the metro to the steepest street I had ever seen, numerous flights of stairs and a Parc which was made entirely of dusty hills. Of course the Gaudi architecture was amazing, but a little difficult to enjoy after 2 hours sleep. After another siesta, we ended up taking our two new french friends on a wild goose chase but were eventually able to find Paella for dinner. On Saturday we had breakfast with Lucy and I headed to Rome.
Today I wandered to the ancient area of Rome. It's bizarre to think I was walking the same streets as people who lived there over 2000 years ago. The Palatino and the Colosseum were just as impressive as I expected. I was lucky with the lines of tourists today but am worried about the 2 hour wait to get into the Vatican tomorrow!
Arrivederci
