FIRST OF ALL:
SUM SUM and SNOW came for a visit!
i showed them around town and we bought a bunch of stuff for Snow.
and then they had to catch their plane
then i realised that we didn't take any pictures together
ARGH

oh well
there's always next time.

SO
The boyfriend and i are in BARCELONA~!
with 2 of our other friends

the trip strarted off pretty badly
i got really stressed with packing
and when we got to the airport we couldn't print our ticket
because there was something wrong with the reference number
eventually we did manage to get on the plane
we got to barcelona in less than 2 hours
and another stupid thing happened
when we asked the information counter on how we could get to our hotel
they told us that it was BLOODY far from barcelona
it's not even technically IN barcelona
it's like in the neighbouring small town
but the address says BARCELONA

we were pissed but determined not to let it spoil our day
so we waited for the MONBUS
which would take 45 minuted of traveling
because a cab would cost 70 bucks

and then
the bus drove right past all the people waiting
and the next one would come in an hour.
great.

so we took a cab
the driver
who ONLY spoke spanish
took us to the middle of barcelona
and THEN we realised that
he had no idea where the freaking hotel was

he finally called the hotel
and started driving BACK towards the airport
by then we were already charged 20 euros

SO we finally got to our mother FAR hotel
the price was now 80 euros.

we consoled ourselved by saying that we're sharing it amongst 4 people
and that it was cheap by swiss standard
considering how long we have travelled

but once we were in the hotel
we were deeply CONSOLED

for 240 euros for 2 person and 3 nights
we get
a bedroom:
with a small living area:
and a freaking KITCHEN

FULLY EQUIPED
with minifridge, stove, pots and pans, coffee cups, expresso cups, coffee maker and cutleries.

and of course a toilet.

and this is our view
see that behind the building?
yes that's THE BEACH


which has a small shop
volleyball courts
backetball court
and those beach chairs which you can get for 13 euros
no limit for how many people
and for a whole day

they also have a street of little restaurants
one claiming to be "singaporean food"

we had pizza the first night with beer
it was SO GOOD

and it's quiet like at a resort

i thought sepia made it look and feel old...
which is exactly how it feels like

Boyfriend and I are HAPPY
oh
and i saw the largest pineapple in the world
