Louise and Harry
A Barcelona Bus Tour, Catalonia, Spain - 25th October 2017
It's the last full day in Barcelona (for the boys, at least) so we do the hop-on/off bus tour. It's certainly epic and has many longeurs, but you do get to see quite a lot of the city. For a longer detour, we stop off at Gaudí's failed Garden City attempt of Parc Guëll for a look around, and dodge a bullet by not visiting La Sagrada Familia, which is utterly heaving, and instead drive right past the front for probably a better view than you could get on the ground.

Louise and Harry cram in to the tiny lift
Back on the streets
The three chimneys
More street art and trees
The Petro Gustá petrol station
We wait at the bus stop for the tourist bus
Some unusual three-wheelers roar around
View from the top of the bus
A Miro statue
Some bloke dangles from a crane
Cracked conrete building
The marina, and the Museu d'Historia
Barcelona's original water tower
Barcelona's railway station
Broken windows in the railway station
Striking early 20th-century architecture
Flags of Catalonia
A 1960s office block
Looking down the top of La Rambla
The Manteros - the 'blanket men' selling fake goods
A funky street light
A Gaudi building
A Gaudi-designed apartment block
Gaudi's last domestic apartment project
Dong Fang - extreme Orient
A cheese-and-meat delicatessen
The Sagrada Familiá
Architectural fruit
The ever-present cranes
Harry sticks his tongue out
Food at Cafeteria El Bravo
Fred does some leg stretches up a wall
Harry and Isobel come out of Cafeteria El Bravo
The boys choose postcards
That's one way to get around town on a bike
Some sort of derelict memorial
The entrance to Parc Guëll
The boys do some swinging
More borderline-bizarre Gaudi architecture
Scribed Aloa Vera leaves
Roaming amongst Gaudi's columns
A view of the city
The boys meet a headless man
More Parc Guëll randomness
Some music occurs
Harry and Isobel
Fred is impressed by some rock hard ancient tree
More Gaudi stuff
The boys walk down some steps
Back on the tour bus
The bus goes through a low tunnel
Freedom for Catalonia graffiti
Millions of abandoned bus-tour earphones
Fred and Isobel have the look of Ennui
One of Barcelona's 'hard' squares
The Arenas de Barcelona
The Plaça d'Espanya
Nice graffiti
Some sort of cinema multiplex
A camera on a stick films a skateboarder
Dudes in a square do some stunt skateboard filming
Da Wheeze, Evelyn and the boys outside Oh! Pisos
Isobel checks her bag in Da Gorls' apartment
Gilly and Noddy outside Zodiaco
Louise and Evelyn
Noddy and Da Wheeze
A tapas bar
The gang (or most of it)
Harry gets a cuddle
Dan holds up his pint of beer
The gang at the café
Carrer de Blai
Fred reads something
Harry is all tuckered out
A hillside cemetary on the way out to the airport
The boys on the airport floor
The boys build a fort out of luggage
El Prat airport
Harry and Fred hang around
El Prat's marble floors look like water
The boys play with Lego in our 'bag fort'
Harry is not that well hidden
Out on the hot tarmac
The 'Olympic torch' control tower
El Prat from the air
Another plane streaks past, not that far away
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
