Dodging the early morning rain we made our way on the metro to the Barcelona Magic Elevator. We walked up La Rambla to Lo Boquerria, the market place. We took a few pictures of the different stalls. Our only purchase being CHOCOLATES. Which never made it to the ship.
As the weather was still not cooperative we made our way to the city of Barcelona history museum. Here we had audio tours of excavation sites of the first century Barcelona. Some of the places were laundry, a fish processing factory, and a wine making shop. Best thing about the museum is that it was DRY and WARM. When we emerged from the excavation site the sun had broke through the rain clouds.
After a quick metro ride we arrived at the park Monjuic. Here we took the ride on the Funicular up to the top where we took another cable car up to the very top of the mountain. Located on the top was a fort. The views of Barcelona were pretty spectacular.
Scott protecting the Fort.
View from the top where the Sangrada Familia can be seen.Now quite a bit of time had passed since breakfast and it was effecting our brains. As we rode the cable car back down towards the Funicular, but scott wanted to ride on the “Frushetta.” That being the laugh for the day.
After finding a subway for supper headed to the Monjuic magic fountain. This was a light music and water show.
By this time our feet were complaining so we took a taxi back to our hotel.
-Chiao till next time.
