Barcelona, Day 1

What a fantastic day. The sun was shinning, clear skies, with temperatures in the mid 60's. We decided to do the Hop-on Hop-off bus here, and caught the first one from the dock area at 9am. There are three routes available in Barcelona, the Blue, Red, and Green. The Blue one is the one that comes by the dock where we are so that's the one we took first. It takes about 2 hours to go completely around, and it hit's most of the major tourist things. We opted to get off by the Olympic Stadium area because nearby was the Botanical Gardens.

Very interesting to see the stadium and other facilities in the area that were used for the 1992 Olympics. We could even go inside the track and field stadium, and ate lunch there.

After looking around there, we went behind the stadium to the Botanical Gardens. That was quite interesting for us, and they had plant life from several different area's of the world, including the Canary Islands, South Africa, Australia, and even California.

Tomorrow we will head out to see the Goudi Familia and will most likely spend most of the day there until the ship leaves at 5pm.

I haven't downloaded our pictures yet so I don't have one for tonight, but will get one (maybe even two) up tomorrow when I finish out Barcelona.

More to come tomorrow, Cheers!!
