October 2011 - London and Barcelona -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To use the most of our two day bus pass we hopped back on the bus and headed back into the centre of the city.

October 2011 - London and Barcelona -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This morning we woke up, looked out the window and onto Balceloneta Beach and saw… RAIN… Lots and lots of rain.

October 2011 - London and Barcelona -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don’t know what we were thinking this morning… Why oh why did we both wake up before 5am this morning?

October 2011 - London and Barcelona -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Queen was so kind to give us an extra hour of sleep this morning (daylight saving ending), it’s a shame I didn’t make good use of it at all. I was up at 5am. Great for blogging, not so great »
October 2011 - London and Barcelona -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m glad I checked last night… Houses of Parliament Tour is only run on a Saturday.
