Switching hostels and tour bus

We switched hostels today because I didn't book enough time at one place in Barcelona originally.

However, it worked out well because we got to see another part of the city. Urbany hostel sits along a main open road which intersects three main thoroughfares. City planners are engineering all three into one junction near us at the moment, which is a major piece of work.

Urbany hostel has definitely a younger vibe: I think I'm dampening my kids style. We had enough food to last us through the day after the cossol breakfast we (I) smuggled out of Sunotel. And found a supermarket to buy some ingredients for food tonight.

We boarded a sightseeing bus tour which took us past iconic places like Sagrada Familia the largest unfinished Roman Catholic Church designed by Francisca de Paula del Villa when he resigned Antonio Gaudi took over and made it into the elaborate gothic design.

We melted in the 4pm sun on the bus driving through streets, at one point the jasmine trees hung over the open top bus filling the air with its sweet perfume. We couldn't have attempted to see this on foot!

Back at the hostel we visited the rooftop bar (no pool this time but an amazing 13 floors up view of the setting sun light over the city. I enjoyed a Caiphrihna and felt I was in Brazil again.
Another busy day. Hopefully we will make it to the Gaudi Park tomorrow.もっと詳しく
