Barcelona baby!

Another early day and many kilometers on the road. 
Today we would cross the border to Spain. Off to Barcelona ( as I like to say in the Spanish lisp). We stopped in Carcossone to explore an amazing medieval castle. Inside was riddled with cafes and shops. There were many side streets you could go down and see beautiful surrounding views of the town. On arrival in Barcelona in the evening we were shocked that our tour bus couldn't drop us outside our hotel. We used to the porters lugging our growing suitcases. Too many narrow streets. Unluckily we were staying the same time as a school tour groups. After midnight it was spent putting the pillow over my head trying to block the sound of running kiddies and slamming doors above. 

Before slumber I took a few ladies up to a great lookout point at Gaudi's Park. It was great to return after 6 years. Beautiful artwork to admire, even at dusk.
