I was absolutely knackered and slept till at 12oclock and went around places at 1.
I've got to admit that public transports in Spain are brilliant, NZ needs to work on it's public transports big time. It costed about 6.5 Euro for 10 rides of bus or metro which I thought was really cheap for Euro.
Firstly my sister and I went to see one of Spain's most famous architects, Antoni Gaudi's unfinished cathedral, Sagrada Familia. Its construction began in 1882, and a year later he was appointed Project Director and worked on the project over 40 years until his death in 1926. It's absolutely massive and I think each and every part of the cathedral is crafted to its best. Antoni Gaudi's project didn't stop after his death, the cathedral is still under construction.
Here are some pictures I've taken at the cathedral. CLICK THE IMAGES TO ENLARGE.
After the visit to cathedral, it was time for me to buy new clothes because I didnt have any spare clothes in my backpack. Remember to take a set of clothes when you travel, it helps. Trust me :)
We went to a clothing shop Zara which is a well-known Spanish brand. It's inexpensive and fashionable enough to go out on European streets. Sweeet. And went to H&P and bought a hat. Those clothes will appear later.
Barcelona Cathedral was the next destination. "Barcelona Cathedral is one of the most striking and representative examplese of Catalan and Spanish Gothic architecture. It stands in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, close to Mons Taber, the original site of the Roman settlement of Barcino, the origin of the city" - The Cathedral Chapter
I didnt take any good pictures of this building as it didn't really fascinate me so if you are interested search "Barcelona Cathedral" on Google.
For dinner, we went to a restaurant called "Be Happy". It sounded like a happy place so we decided to eat here. We had one of the Spanish traditional foods, Paella. My sister had "Sea delicacies" and I had "Mixed" paella. It was quite oily (the rice) but overall it was good. IT wasn't brilliant though.
I thought I was eating chicken in paella but in fact I was eating a rabbit meat, which tasted like crunchy chicken.
