Anniversary and Barcelona Day 2

Started off the morning with a pastry and a coffee/tea, then did a dry run to know where we needed to go to meet the cruise ship on Saturday.

We saw the Christopher Columbus statue, then we walked up La Rambla, the famous Barcelona street which, honestly, was quite touristy.

We strolled through Mercat de la Boqueria, a food market. It was then off to a vermouth bar (Vermut i a la Gàbia) for our noon snack of tomato bread (assemble your own) and cod fritters.

We then headed back over to the Arena. This arena was originally built for bull-fighting but is now a shopping mall. On the 4th floor, you can walk completely around the building on their outdoor terrace to get some wonderful views of the city.

We then walked to Jube for our 2:30 p.m. lunch, where we had the meal of the day. For our starter, we both picked the soup. We didn't know what kind of soup it was when we ordered it, but it was a potato soup. For the main dish, Karl had fried fish, and Lori had pork with sweet potatoes. For dessert, we both picked the fruit salad.

After lunch, we headed back to where the airport bus had dropped us off to wait for Ben and Lauren to arrive.Baca lagi
