From Riches to Rags...(Barcelona,Spain)

First of all, Thank you Stephen Coade for putting us up in the AB SKIPPER for two nights, it was absolutly amazing, such a delight. But now i write to you from Saint Jordi..A youth hostel...here are some comparisons of the two.

(Our bathroom at the AB skipper, we have no photo of the other one saldy, but think of a cardboard box, then stamp on it, thats where we shower now)

(ahh the beach, nice fresh air)

(ahh a giant laundry shoot nest to our kitchen)

Well....enough said?

over and out

Ps its not that bad

So on a different note, i have not talked about barcelona, first of all it is pretty dam big, it has seven beachs, all of which are fake, the sand was brought in from egypt, for the olympics all those years ago. So the sand is very dust but all in all they are beautiful beachs. small point - it has a starbucks on every corner, which i was not expecting. It is pretty bad for pit pockets ect...for instace the first thing kris and i saw was a girl getting her bagged snatched..(but fear not..her boyfriend ran after the guy and got it, what a dreamboat)...then i told kris i would do that for her if it happened and she just said....´thats sweet...but you cant run or defend yourself´....hmmm...another thing i forgot to mention about san sebastion...it is the home of tapas, which they call pinxos, so there were tapas bars everywhere...actually too many, you could never find a actual restaurant..it seems all the spanish do is eat tiny portions, party, siesta, eat pinoxs, siesta.

Ps - there is another blog below which you may not have read yet
