MONTE CARLO TO BARCELONA

BARCELONA (Spain) – As it was Sunday, most of the city was closed but we enjoyed a city bus tour with the wildly different architecture of Goudi very noticeable and fascinating. We got off half way and walked down La Rambla which was filled with market stalls, street gamblers (which pea is under the pod), and buskers etc….. had lunch al fresco and watched the locals stroll by as we were continually being reminded by café staff about thieves and to keep an eye on our bags!! Hopped on the bus again and got off at the Museum where we had a great view of the city before returning back to the port where we strolled around more markets.
Photos above are: the start of Las Ramblas; McDonalds sign showing what you can buy for 1Euro (AUD 1.5); sweet treats in La Rambla; Colin looking like a real tourist; quaint architecture; the Palace Museum; view from the Palace Museum; more views of the city; and may not look exciting but these mobile gangways are great – move along on runners.
