Honeymoon: A little bit art…
Barvelona: It smells of drains! The trains are rubbish! Everywhere is being dug up! But we liked it anyway. The Metro was efficient and cheap, unlike the London Tube. The carriages had air conditioning but the platforms did not, which was weird. I lived on cheese and croissants as everything else was ham, so we ate at Pixxa Hut twice! I feel a bit dirty about that but it was actually nice and the chocolatey things were yummy! We went to arty buildings and fell asleep a lot… on separate beds! Yes, our married life began in a twin room, which is how it will inevitably end up, like all good couples. Damn you, Catholicism gone mad!
We do love a bit of Gaudi and even though it’s rather religious the Sagrada Familia is a pretty mentalist kind of building! I’s still not finished though…
How many more years until this is all neat and tidy? We had a bloody long walk up and down those ornate turrets, let me tell you! Miniature spiral staircases? In the Barcelona heat? Bah! When are they converting it into a shopping mall?
The glass is stained. Don’t look at me!
That stupid fucking lizard from the Rough Guide cover. Another Gaudi thing, in the Parc Guell. We got off the bus far too early on the way there and had a rather crippling walk. Boo hiss boo!
Gaudi’s arches. That man likes his organic shapes a bit too much. I look like we felt by then: hot and bothered plus rather knackered. We’re not getting any younger, you know.
