Barcelona

Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain and Canary Islands
Arrived BCN T 10 AM, seamless trip thru customs, luggage was there on time, got cab to Hotel Barcelona Universal, checked oh. Everyone worked as planned. Wow!

Bought tickets on Hop On Hop Off bus to get big picture of Barcelona . Got off at Nou Camp, the stadium for the Barcelona fur ball team. Cost was 46 Euros for both including an audio guide.
Ouch! I didn't think I would pay 46 Euros to see a soccer game. Actually I probably would. It was a great tour. We got to see the bowels of the stadium and go almost to the pitch (artificial turf), plus we learned much of the history of the team.

On the bus we drove past many of the places we will go thru Fri - Sun

Ate supper at Cafe Del Mar, located of course on the Mediterranean Sea. We had seafood paella .
It was seasoned rice with mussels, prawn, and something smaller than a lobster but had eyes looking back at me. Tasted better than it looked.
On walk back to hotel stopped for coffee and donut at a sidewalk cafe.

We both went over our 10,0000 step quota.
