Terry and i went over to Barcelona for a few days! We arrived late on the Wednesday night after flying from Gatwick and went straight to our fantastic hotel, the Grand Marina hotel and then went out to La Ramblas and had some tapas!

In the morning, I had a jacuzzi then we went over to the Marina for some more tapas before we went to the port to get on the cruise! The queue was massive but once we got on the ship, it seemed nice! The ship ended up leaving 2 hours late and we went out for dinner which we didn’t really enjoy then went out to the night club and the casino! Drank far too much and couldn’t get out of bed until very late the next day and missed our day in port!

That night was formal night and we went out to the nicer Italian restaurant which we really enjoyed with a lovely view out to sea!

On the final day, we went to play golf and had a look at the rock climbing wall (!). I also went to see the ice show where they skated to the Moulin Rouge version of the Show Must Go On and the We Will Rock You version of Play the Game!!!!!

We went out for the casual dinner and watched the sun set!

The next morning we got off the ship about 9am to bright sunshine!

We managed to check into our next hotel in Barcelona at 10am - the Hotel Jazz!

Had a sleep then got up and went to the Hard Rock Cafe for a late lunch and found some Queen stuff!

The doors to the hotel rooms had the numbers in HUGE writing!

The next day it was bright sunshine and we went out to see a few sights!

We saw La Sagrada Familia - Gaudi’s Church and the bull ring:

and then we went to the zoo!

On the way back we wamdered through the Gothic Quarter then went out for our usual tapas in the evening!

The next day was our last day and we went to the aquarium and the marina to look around then wandered through the Gothic Quarter again before flying home!
