Here it is Tuesday already. Tomorrow we board the Magic!! Can´t wait! Of course then the serious eating begins. We haven´t really overindulged in cuisine the past few days, only having 2 meals a day with a healthy snack while on the Bus Turista. The weather has been gorgeous...80 degrees, sunny, breezy, low humidity, couldn´t ask for anything nicer. Just perfect for riding on the top deck of a double decker open top bus.

Today the Bus Turista was a bit more crowded as the route included more of the sites where Antonio Gaudi´s works were displayed. The Sagrada Famailiar was too crowded so we didn´t get off, but we did go to Park Guell to see
his works. I just loved all the mosaics.




















Another stop we got off at was Tibadabo, an amusement park. In order to get to the actual amusement park we had to take a 100 year old tram and a funicular. The park is located at the highest point in Barcelona.
















What a unique amusement park Tibadabo was...there was this huge cathredral up at the top of the mountain, a couple of hotels, the amusement park and a wonderful overlook from which to view Barcelona. After descending the mountain, we finished the blue route and ended up at this internet cafe so we could bring you all up to date on our happenings.

Signing off for now.
