KatarinasTravels : Barcelona

We arrived in Barcelona on April 10th.

We got off the ship and took a taxi to our apartment. There was a marathon and the taxi could not take us all the way to the apartment so we had to walk with all our luggage. The apartment was on the top floor and there were 119 stairs.

There was a really nice dog at the apartment named Stevie Wonder.

After we got all checked in we went to meet my friend Josh. He is 10 and lives in England. I met him at the Notre Dame playground in Paris last year (actually I first saw him at Sorza, one of my favorite restaurants in Paris). We met Josh and his parents, Brett and Clara at one of my favorite restaurants Elsa y Fred.

After lunch, we went to the playground in Barcelona that I loved when we stayed there 2 years ago,

Then we walked to Cuitidella Parc and watched the ducks and climbed the elephant. It was really hard to get a turn to take a picture on the elephant because there were so many people and they all kept running in front of us.

After that we walked to my favorite gelato place - Vioko. I had my favorite flavor - banana split. We went to Vioko every day while we were in Barcelona and every time I had banana split!

Clara, Brett and Josh were only in Barcelona with us for 1 day, it was the end of their trip and the begiining of ours.We wanted to spend as much time with them as possible, so we met them for dinner too. We went to Sagardi which makes the best steak ever!

Josh gave me a present from Smiggle - some really cool art supplies. Since it has taken me so long to write this blog post, I can tell you that I use it almost every day.

We said goodbye to Josh and Clara and Brett, but we will see them again in Paris in August.

The rest of our time in Barcelona was spent visiting some of our favorite places from 2 years ago and spending time with Stevie Wonder.
