Barcelona (as sung by Bree)

Spent the morning wandering around the Gothic Quarter and La Ramblas. - found some great shops. Found a store that sells caganers, which is basically a gnome type figurine bent over with its pants down doing a poo. Apparently they are a symbol of good luck, good joy and good fortune in a home. My house should have an abundance of luck, joy and fortune.
In the afternoon we had a 3 hour segway tour booked. Bonnie had never been on a segway before and her two minute lesson was was pretty much lean forward to go, lean back to stop, and now we are heading out onto the streets with all the traffic. Luckily she was a quick learner.
I couldn't understand why I kept dropping off the back of the pack. After an hour or so I mentioned it to the tour guide, who realised my segway was delimited to 15kpm. Thanks mate. Saw a lot of Barcelona then headed up to Montjuic hill. There is a cable car that goes up there so some of it was quite steep.
The boys were all up front with the tour guide and it was every man for himself. A bit of fun for us girls up the back. Bree had a dog run out at her. Bonnie hadn't been shown how to get up a steep hill and her segway started going backwards, which is not good. I jumped off my segway after I nearly lost it on a steep hairpin downhill and it took off with me hanging on behind it. Luckily Brett was there to save me. And Brett's segway threw him off the back and he landed in the dirt. It was quite and adventure, but we all survived.
Had the best meal of the holiday last night, so a great way to end a huge day. Yesterday we did 13,000 steps but in the heat it felt like 33,000.Read more
