So on the 2nd day at Barcelona, we went to the Cathedral. It was free! I think Europe has a reputation for having beautiful cathedrals. This is one of 'em. Its designed by Gaudi.

Samsung did a spoiler with this board thing (they sponsored the restoration or something)
Pictures of the interior weren't very good because it was rather dark and I didn't wanna use the flash on my camera in such a holy place. But it was quite grand, I tell you!
Geese in the cathedral!
Uncover the secret message if you can
Then we decided to pay Eur2.20 to take the elevator up to the top. It was SO worth it! It had such a great view of Barcelona.
And on the way to our next destination, we saw a demonstration on the streets. Didn't know what it was about though. There was just a bunch of people on the streets making loud noises. They even had police escorting them.
And at this point, the memory was filled up to max capacity.
We went to the Chocolate Museum (yup, chocolate!) but didn't go in coz it was the place was small and it was quite expensive. And besides, I think the museum was only about how chocolates were made and no free testing or anything.
So after that, we visited the Picasso museum. This guy is a great artist and all but I got kinda bored after looking at about a million of his paintings and work. Er, no pictures coz they didn't allow it.
After that, we went to the park and just sat and enjoyed the sun (gawd, I sound like an ang-moh!). It was such a nice relaxing atmosphere and there, I wrote my postcards. And then a French lady came along selling two types of Spanish food; some spinach puff thing and a vegetable pie thing. Both were 70cents each so bought a couple. Tasted alright, but weird.
So on the way back, we took the route along the beach. It was quite cold and windy but there were still people playing around. No swimming though, and we saw two brave girls in bikini tops!
We spent a good 15 minutes just sitting on their concrete beach chairs and enjoying the peace and quiet (kind of).
Along the way, we saw this spider web thing and decided to act like a bunch of kids and climbed it. We met this English kid and I said to him that he was like a monkey coz he climbed up and down it so fast and he said, "Well, my last name IS Gibbons"!! Haha. I laughed so hard!
Us and monkey-boy Gibbons. Haha!
And after that, for dinner, we went to this place and ordered four types of rice (we're in Spain, and we're STILL eating rice!) but they were all flavoured and one of them was black rice! Yikes! But not a bad meal and in the end we split the cost and it was only about Eur5 each.
P.S. (unrelated) I'm SO addicted to Grey's Anatomy! Anyone has the VCD/DVDs of all the seasons to lend me?!
