Barcelona

   Over the weekend just gone myself and eight other people went to Barcelona for my Mum's 50th birthday. We had a fabulous time we staid in the Hoteles Catalonia Catedral which is a very posh hotel. The hotel was right in the centre of the Gothic quarter of Barcelona. My favourite bit of the holiday was seeing the Sagrada Familia for the first time. We arrived at the Sagrada Familia via taxi as we looked at where it was on the map and where we were and as it looked as though it was a bit of a trek to get there (which it was) so we decided to get a couple of taxis. The taxis in Barcelona all sport the colours black and yellow looking like a wasp. When we arrived at the Sagrada Familia half of us were dropped off at Gaudi's entrance and the other half were dropped at Subrach's entrance both sides look almost identical except Gaudi's entrance is more intricate and pretty Subrach's entrance is more futuristic and robotic (not that Subrach's entrance isn't pretty). We all had quite a few laughs while in Barcelona while one of the lifts in the hotel had two doors and two of our party fell out of it which was pretty funny.
