Day 21 : Hola Barcelona

This morning we have to catch our flight to Barcelona. Christie and I got up extra early as we needed to mail our the postcards that we always seem to leave to the last minute to send. When we got back to the hostel the car was waiting to drive us to the airport. So nice to have a car come and get us instead of having to use various forms of transportation in order to get to where we need to go. Such luxury. but split 3 ways, it wasn't too bad!

The hostel in Barcelona was quite easy to find and rather nice, albeit rather small. They saw we are moving to a larger room tomorrow, as this one was originally only for 2 people. I tried as hard as I could to actually take a picture of the room from any angle… but it wasn't big enough to actually get a shot of the room. Sad, I know.

After we'd settled into the hostel it was almost dinner time so off we went in search of dinner. We ended up at a small pub right off the water (oh yeah, our hostel is in La Ramblas right on the sea). It was called Traveller's Pub and we enjoyed some traditional Spanish food, paella, lamb steak and a whiskey dessert with ice cream!

Since we were so close to the water we decided to head to the Barcelona Aquarium and take a look at some locals.

A Moray Eel

White Shark

Octopus

And a family of Penguins.

However, I must say that the best discovery of the trip to the Aquarium was definitely Sir Chomps. He's a dignified soul with 2 brothers, one named Judd and the other remains unnamed. A very helpful fellow, always willing to lend a hand.. or well, a CHOMP!

The night ended with a bottle of wine, a couple shark attack battles in our room and a lot of laughter.
