(10 May)
My flight was at 2150hrs to Bangkok first, transit for an hour then it another 10hrs to Helsinki, capital of Finland. Touchdown at Helsinki about 11:45am (Singapore time) and it's 6:45am(local time). Just on a small note, whenever plane took off, I got sweaty palm. Yes,I'm afraid....in fact it's very afraid of plane taking off.
(11 May)
Clear immigration in Finland first as she is under E.U so once cleared, we can travel anywhere within E.U countries without any immigration checking anymore. Cool, ya.
Kanina, took another airplane again to Barcelona at 1pm (Singapore time) and here come my sweaty palm once again and finally reach at 4:45pm (Singapore time)
I was cursing all the time, you do your math how much time I spend on the plane. From 2150hrs to next day 4:45pm finally reached. Oh boy....talk about jet-lag. Also on the plane I was sucking my nicotine smoke inhaler all the time like a baby sucking pacifier.
However in Barcelona, it's only 11am and after getting our luggage we headed for lunch at this place.
Yes, it a Chinese restaurant and lunch was under the travel company account and food suck! By the way, there were about 25 persons in this tour. There were no pretty girls in our group! What a disappointment.
(Me waiting at bus-stop for the rest of the group after lunch)
After lunch, the city tour guide brought us to Sagrada Familia. Of the places I visited for the next 10 days, there were 2 places I was really impressed. Sagrada Familia was one of them. As I cannot post all the pictures you can do a google search on Sagrada Familia and you will see how beautiful this structure really was.
The Sagrada FamÃlia was planned in the late 19th century and construction work, under the supervision of Antoni Gaudà (great architect and artist) commenced in the 1880s. Until now this day, it is still under construction! Yes, more than hundred year and still not completed.
(Inside of the building)
This building simply breathe taking!
Next stop was this Monjich Hill where you can see the whole of Barcelona.
See....our group was crowding taking pictures. What's so nice about his bloody hill? I don't get it. By the way, it quite cold....about 20 degree or below.
(Had to reduce pixel thus not clear)
(Finally I found something that cheer me up. They sell beer on hill top. Hahaha)
(Look at me, is this handsome or what. Hehehe)
Back to the coach for some city tour.
(Christopher Columbus’ Monument)
(How come as I get older and I get so photogenic?)
Next stop was Gothic Quarter, an old district Barcelona
(Mum & sister....I was following closely behind like I was afraid of getting lost)
(This old district of Barcelona, everything is old as the name suggested)
(So cool. If I'm a girl I fell in love myself...haha)
Next was we headed for our dinner somewhere near the sea. Took some pictures around the place.
We went to the beach, there a vendor selling ice-cream. Guess how much for a cornetto? Cost 4.80 Euro that about freaking SGD9.60. A magna ice-cream costs 5 Euro (SGD10.00) and a can of coke cost 2 Euro (SGD4.00). My goodness!
We had our Spanish dinner, yuck again.
Oh, sunset only 9pm here in Europe and our hotel is located at some country side area. Nanbei, how am I going venture out at night to see some strip dance..see some neh neh? Nevermind, sleep early for the night as the week still young.
Should have opportunity I thought....as I dozed off.
