18 February
Out about 8:30am to the Casa Batllo, which is under restoration work,
scaffold on the fascade & in some of the internal rooms, but still,
what an amazing building, as the pictures show. Unfortunately the front
of the building, on the roof, was heavily covered with scaffold.
Then onto La Pedrera, simply outstanding building and particularly the
rooftop, covered with chimneys bizarrely shaped, arches highlighting the
Sagrada Familia and the other major churches in Barcelona. Thanks so much to my sister, Sally, Mark, Jack, Aimee & Sam Richardson for the birthday tickets, it was awesome!!!
Grabbed a cab to Parc Guell but the queue, again, was long with a 2
hour wait, so decided on lunch back near the hotel. Cracking little cafe
just around the corner from us where the Asian proprietors did up some
fantastic tapas and then some paella, great meal. Mandy had a snooze
while I drew some floor plans for South America and currently repacking
suitcases in preparation for Italy & Naples tomorrow.
