Just sitting here in the hostel - which isn't really our hostel any more as we checked out this morning but left our bags in the lockers - eating one last mildly rushed meal before heading towards the airport and off to London. Thought I should do one more post before we head out as I don't know when we'll get such good internet access again, or time. Its pretty hectic for a while from here. London tonight, Paris tomorrow, Amsterdam the next day and Maastricht the day after that.
So before we fly I must tell you about last nights dinner. We had funds for a nice meal provided by my padre. We went off in search of somewhere to eat at around 8, but do you think we could find any where open before 9? Not a chance. I just about decided to pack it in, but we managed to hold out till 9 and head back to a place that we'd seen that looked quite good. The waiter seemed mildly annoyed with us English speaking people, but he spoke english and they had a menu in english. We both ordered a meal of hake with garlic sauce and grilled vegetables, which I thought was good, Soph thought was amazing. I also ordered us a bottle of wine, I tried to order a Catalunyan wine but the waiter told me I should get another one, so I did. Best decision ever. It was the nicest wine I have ever had. So good in fact that Sophie and I finished it between us, even drinking it while eating our lemon sorbet, not such a good mix but I couldn't help it. While selecting our food tonight in the one place that was open, I saw they had little bottles of it, so I've bought one, and am going to try and bring it home so you can try it parentals.
Today we took it a little slower, we headed up to the gondola which took us up to Montjueic castle. By the way family who have been there, we WALKED up the hill to the gondola. We then killed a couple of hours just lying around reading books in the castle grounds, it was incredibly relaxing.
Thats it for now. I better stop so I can scoff the rest of my food and we can leg it to the airport. Hope everyone back home is good. Type to you soon.
