Barcelona - Day two

Monday
Today we started off by taking the Blue route bus (yesterday we completed the Red route) as far as Anella Olimpica where we saw the Palau Sant Jordi (basketball stadium) and the Olympic Stadium. Unlike Camp Nou yesterday we were able to walk in freely and take photos, and I think even the museum (which we didn't go to) was free! This stadium is home to Espanyol so I guess they'll let anyone in to view the ground (they probably do that and count it in their attendance figures... no no wait that's Hindmarsh that used to do that when Adelaide City played there.
Back on the bus we went and it took us down to the coast. The green bus starts and finishes there so we hopped off one and on another. There is no need to get off the green route unless you are thinking of hitting the beach, we had no time for that so we continued around. The tan I was getting from just being on top of an open roofed bus was enough for me. It was back on the blue route as it continued its way into the city. As the time was approaching 2pm it was now lunchtime in Spain. Love that they have lunch from 2-4. We headed down La Rambla and it wasn't until 3:30 that we actually found a place that we agreed upon eating at. This was right down by the coast (we should have just stayed on the tour bus and got there a lot quicker).
After lunch we jumped back on the bus to get us in to the city. We just seemed to wander around for the rest of the day. I managed to find a store with the Nomination link to add Spain to my chain. We walked up the other end of La Rambla where we found a restaurant (tapas of course) that was recommended on Trip Advisor. I must say it was 1000 times better than what we ate the day before. Big tip though if they say the wait Will be 30 mins hang around as we were seated in about 5 mins. The place was called Cerveseria Catalana if anyone is in this neck of the woods and wants good tapas.
Tuesday
As I sit here writing Jane is sitting, arms crossed, waiting for her clothes to dry so we can check out and make our way to the airport. Barcelona has been fantastic or as the locals say "Fantastico" At this stage we are heading to Zurich, home of....... mmmmm...... could be a small blog entry next time.
Adios!
