Are we finally here?

Hola from Barcelona!

After a long 30 hours of "travel" Serena, Helen and I are finally in Barcelona. We took a train on Saturday morning from York to the London Stanstead Airport where we had a 3:30 flight to Zarzoga, Spain. We thought we coud just catch a train into Barcelona when we arrived in Zarzoga but, sadly, we were wrong. After finally figuring out how to get to the train station there were no trains until 10am today. We ended up walking around Zarzoga for 3 hours looking for a hotel. When we finally found a hotel and were settled for the night around 10:30 I was exhausted. Today was not as bad. We caught our 10:10 train to Barcelona and then took the metro to the staion that is about 7 minutes from the hostel. The only problem is that the 7 minute walk up hill sucks with a heavy pack on.

After we got settled into the hostel around 2pm we decided to wander into Barcelona. We got something to eat since we hadn't had anything yet. After that we were just walking down the street and we saw the Gaudi Appartments, La Pedrera. We walked down Las Ramblas and ended up near a statur of Christopher Columbus who is pointing to America. He is actually pointing in the wrong direction though. It started raining while we were walking along the marina so we started off towards a metro station.

I am exhausted, ready for a shower and a little snack, then bed!

Tomorrow is going to be amazing!!!
