Our last day in Spain
March 20, 2016

I guess I’ve been putting off writing the last day because it’s almost felt like reliving the trip.  Anyway here goes.  We pack our bags for a picnic and take the metro down to Park Guell.  We walked uphill the entire way and entered the park.  If you go you should absolutely pay to get into the ticketed part.  The free part of the park is beautiful but it doesn’t compare to the colours and exploration you can do in the ticketed part. We walked around, had our snacks, named a lizard Harry and just took in the sunshine on our final day. We went back, took a siesta, Sabine did squats in the elevator and shopped a bit.

Our stomachs started to grumble and we were DETERMINED to get to La Paradeta so we walked halfway there, to the general area and then we took a CAB!  Which brought us right to the door of the restaurant.   We realized that we were so close the first time, we just couldn’t figure out the right street.  Anyway we ordered the seafood fresh at the counter and they grilled it right there for us.  We had a massive portion of : tuna, calamari, mussels, clams, shrimp and oysters.

After we ate what was approximately our combined weight in seafood we walked back to our suite and Sophie and Sabine did some acro  yoga.   And once again we had a knock on our door, a hopefully young guy asking for a hair dryer and once again was disappointed that 4 girls didn’t have one between them.

We went to bed that night, unsettled by the thoughts that we would be abandoning this fantastically slow and sweet lifestyle tomorrow and back to our reality.  Ciao Spain- you were amazing.

Cheers
