Hola from Barcelona on 2 July

What a day. Train to Catalunya ( Bercelona central). Tourist bus for 1hour 40. Back to Familia, the Gaudi Cathedral. Told I would have to wit for 3 hours and got lucky straight in. Huge experience. Hard to describe the impression it makes. After orthodox Cathedrals in UK and France this leaves one just dumbstruck. I admired the workmanship of what was achieved 1000 years ago but this is simply astonishing. After a couple of hours with my mouth open I was pretty thirsty I can promise ! Walked up the Gaudi Avenue to another of his buildings and that is a spellbinder as well. Returned to find the "other bus route", the red route and it was even more unbelievable. Frankly I have not ever been to a city that leaves me so struck in wonder and almost disbelief. They seem to have many things sorted around a spectacular site with history climate and people. Perhaps 4 or 5 huge tourist liners in the port may give a clue. Great day. Amazing place. Sad to leave but this is part of a tour not the destination. Selecting pictures that present a plausible image will be difficult, but I like buildings and history, so will do my best but I could show 6 of Familia and still leave parts missing. So my best 3 of Familia and I ended up with all Gaudi so Barcelona next......
