barcelona

barcelona!  my first independent travel!  me and eleven of my friends went to barcelona on the weekend of the 20th of november and it was excellent if i do say so myself.

we took a train to geneva and then a plane to barcelona.  when we arrived it was pretty late, and there was no time for sightseeing of any kind, so we got a very very late dinner and walked around for a while.

the next day, we went for a quick lunch then took a double decker bus tour of the city (my theory on taking a double decker bus tour is DO IT if you can because it's not very expensive, you see all of the sights, and you can get on and off at any point, using your ticket for the whole day.  this is especially ideal if you only have a few days wherever you're staying) we saw a lot of Gaudi's architecture which is AMAZING.  we got off at Gaudi park aka a Dr. Seuss book, and walked around there and took pictures for probably two hours.  we got back on the bus and walked back to our hotel and went out for the night.

the next day we went to the aquarium (you know how i feel about sea life, this was very exciting for me) which i do have to say, was a teensy bit disappointing considering the first aquarium i ever went to was the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago- the most amazing aquarium in the world. ANYWAYS. there was this huge huge tank at the end with billions of sand tiger sharks and this one huge really really really strange looking fish (i wasn't able to take photos because my camera ran out of batteries) and you could walk under and look up and that was cool.

and then i bought a shark t shit.

yeah.

i know.

one of my life goals completed.

it was really nice weather so we went out on the long stretch of grass in front of the aquarium and hung out there for a while and pretended we didn't have to go back to neuchatel anytime soon.

i would call that trip a success, considering i had to be responsible for everything by myself.

that's all for now! byeeeeee

ps: i unfortunately didn't have my nice camera with me which explains why the pictures are not very high quality
