Woke up today at 1215pm thanks to staying out last night till spanish closing time... 6am. Not the greatest idea in hindsight as today was supposed to be our sightseeing day. We ended up cabbing to the sagrada familia to save time, and I'm glad we did. The guy who designed it was obviously on drugs. Why they decided to build it is beyond me (maybe that's in the walking tour, it was closed today), but wow what a structure. The highlight though had to be jess throwing up in front of hundreds of people in a public trash can...lol.
Once we finished there we met misha and went to camp nou. After much walking and sweating we bought tickets off a scalper for 3x face :( I wasn't sure if public scalping was illegal because there were so few people doing it, but it turns out it just really is that popular. It was incredible being in a stadium of 90000 people all chanting and singing at the sametime, and an unexpected bonus was the great views of the barca hills from our ' as bad as you could possibly get' nosebleed seats. Hope the pics do it some justice.
Tomorow it's off to barcelona sants to activate our eurail tickets and head to madrid. Happy mothers day! I think there is something in the mail!
