taking into consideration the crazy meat-fest at la paca vaca, we decided to head onto parc guell- on foot, to ease our fat-laden souls of guilt. but damn, it was a one and half hour walk! U-P-H-I-L-L.. the both of us became so grumpy along the way- though luckily we managed to keep away from each other's necks.. the funny thing was how anti-climaxal parc guell was. after the physically- challenging climb, we were like, 'where's the lizard... hurry up.. take a picture of the lizard.. quick stand in front of the lizard, yang'..
and there were many many who felt the same way and i took the above picture to show how overly-hyped and tourist-covered the silly lizard was.. well at least yang got the lizard to herself for two minutes.
our hostel was actually next to the casa batllo..
la sagrada familia was right smack in the middle of the surbans... imagine living your life next to a revered work of art.. to be honest, la sagrada is so eccentrically-designed.. without the skyfoldings, i doubt most would know its uncompleted.. haha.. we created another tourist fuax pas at la sangrada familia. instead of oohing and aahing over the unfisnished masterpiece, i took a few pictures.. yang didn' even bother with her camera here, before heading downtown for dinner.
down la rambla, yang and i played up our 'beachness' by taking a relaxing stroll along the port. there seemed to be a huge fuss in front of one of the buildings but we totally ignored it.. realising later that it was the wolrd trade center. haha.. whooppss
bubo: an incredibly chic food boutique where they serve carefully-crafted tapas and dessert treats that will have you fumbling for your camera and wallet. i don't quite remeber its specific location, only that it is in barri gothic.. should visit if you can!
