23 th of July Barcelona and Hollywood stars
The last day. Tomorrow we're going home. One month has come to an end this is it.
Start the day with coffee, doughnuts and a sandwich. After that we take a look
at the El Corte inglés We also find this café in the El Barrio distict.
A piece of heaven again wow....in Barcelona...
The Gothic Barrio district, beautiful...
Then it's time for the Boqueria Market (a large public market, first mention of the Boqueria market dates to 1217 when tables were installed near the old door of the city to sell meat). At the market we get some fruit salad and my tummy gets full. We're doing a lot of walking and eating today. Later on we go back to the market and gets some nice juice. I have strawberry and orange juice my brother gets papaya juice. We also stop by at guess what YES it's right Starbucks our last one for a while. When we're going back to the hotel we pass a movie theatre and wow it's premiere for The dark Knight. We stand there waiting for I don't know it must be some stars. Yes it's Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart from the movie, and I forget to take a photo...Kind of cool to see some Hollywood stars. Goodnight Spain and good morning Sweden. Tomorrow evening I'm home again. Here I come Murre and Tippen...

22 of July Barcelona
Today we visit Parc the Monjuic and the Olympic stadium. The top of the hill (a height of 173 metres) was the site of several fortifications, the latest of which the Castell de Montjuïc remains today. On our way back through the park we have a great view of the city and the Mediterranean. We're spending the whole day in the park and on our way back to the hotel we get lost as usual. I get so tired why is't so hard to find the hotel. But eventually we find it again.
We end the evening with a stop at STARBUCKS.
View from Parc the Monjuic
The Olympic Stadium (1992)
At the Olympic stadium we eat a breakfast of coffee and chocolate croissants. My brother is happy he get an freshley squeezed orange juice. He's happy until I tell him the price....

"Dormir es la mejor meditacion"
"Sleep is the best meditaion"
Dalai Lama
On the pillows is small calling cards for the hotel we're you can read the saying above.
Today we're going to see the masterpiece of Antoni Gaudí, La Sagrada Familia. Parts of the unfinished church and Gaudí's models and workshop were destroyed during the war. The present design is based on reconstructed versions of the lost plans. It's interesting the unfinished and still constructed church it's still a working place as it was during Gaudí's time, what a tourist attraction.
Not an alien it's the ceiling of La Sagrada Familia
The exterior
After the visit to La Sagrada Familia we walk to Parc Guell designed by Gaudí. The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site. But only two houses were built neither of them designed by Gaudí.
The Park
Reminds me of Dr Seuss The Cat in the Hat
Somehow we manage to loose our map so we need to get another one at the tourist information. And then we end the day at Starbucks.
P.S Everytime we're going back to the hotel we get lost and we end up walking around for hours, before we find our way. All the streets look the same, and when it's dark it's even harder.
