BCN 3rd Day

On the 3rd day, we went to Temple de la Sagrada Familia, designed by Gaudi again. I'm telling you, its like this guy designed the whole of Barcelona or something! But before that...

Why can't they have such pretty flowers back home? I stole one and pressed it.


A tree full of hearts on its trunk. Aww, I heart ALWS!

None of our flashes went off after we set it the second time.

Our lousy attempt to spell Spain with our shadows

Look! A petrol station (near the right) in the middle of the street!


And here it is, 'The Temple of the Sacred Family', the world's most visited 'construction site' (coz its not completed yet, even though Gaudi's been dead for year and years). It was so big that I couldn't get even a half shot of it.


The ceiling

Its exterior is really intricate with carvings of everything! Look closely and you can see stories being told.


Honestly, it wasn't worth the Eur5 entrance fee. But since we were already there, we just decided to pay another Eur2 to take the elevator (again, they charge for an elevator ride!) up. Now THAT was worth every cent. It was like some kind of stair maze. I felt like Rapunzel or something! It was really like running around in a castle from tower to tower.

Narrow stairway (definitely not for fat people)


Touching the tip of another tower by Gaudi far, far away

It was 60m down. We had to take the spiral stairs all the way, but it was fun (and a little dizzy-dazzy).

Some silly pose

After that, me and Yixian went to do a bit of shopping (the only time during the whole trip!). It was an unsatisfyling 1.5 hrs but I bought some cheap clothes for only Eur15.

At night, we went to watch the Light and Musical Fountain, which was quite nice but again, no pictures coz it was too dark and our cameras weren't super enough.

And that was it for Day 3.
