Barcelona – Coral City I (Pilgrimage)

And this is what I woke up to…

barcelonasea

… spot the Nouvel and Foster towers.

We got off the seaport and tried to catch taxis. But EVERY single one of them just stopped and took off when we showed them the address. Am I going to a really seedy part of town?

Later a local explained that we arrived at 2PM sharp, which means lunchtime for them. NO ONE works during lunch time. From 2PM to 4PM, absolute standstill. The whole city just shuts down for two hours.

Our Hostel – Gat Xino Hostal

Really funky place. Feels queasy waking up in the morning, crawl your way to the toilet that’s totally GREEN.

The Famous La Rambla of Barcelona

rambla01

Extremely lively street, feels like a carnival. Apparently the Rambla started off more than a main street, it’s also the main “drain” of the Old Historical centre.

So it was designed so that all branching streets will dump their water there.

This street performer made a full outfit just from plastic bottles. Very ecological …

There’s more of Barcelona coming!! But we won’t arrive at the Killer Squirrels one for a while, maybe Slide Night will arrive first?!

Lin’s excitement stems from Nuno Bettencourt’s “Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee”.
