MSC Seaview Postcard #8 - Barcelona before flying back to UK

After freshening up from our days walking we headed back out to walk La Rambla and find somewhere to eat. We walked the full length and back and eventually stopped close to our accommodation along the Rambla de Catalunya for our second lot of Tapas of the day, both sittings being absolutely delicious. It worked really well for Nicole because she was able to pick and choose items that worked with her diet.
The lower and more commercial end of La Rambla was extremely busy and being a Friday night it was packed with tourists. We felt much more at ease along Rambla de Catalunya where the crowds had thinned out and the people around seemed to be predominantly locals. We made it back to the hotel just after 10:00 and crashed out more or less straight away.

After a good night's sleep we both came to at around 8:00 and lazed for a while in another comfortable bed, our fourth different one this week.

Breakfast was included so we made use of that before heading off to find Barcelona Cathedral. First though we headed away from the centre to the top of Rambla de Catalunya so we could experience the full length of it.





The cathedral was every bit as impressive as we had read and for €3 we were able to take the elevator up to the rooftop for a panoramic view of Barcelona.















After all that excitement it was Tapas time again, we again found a great little place on the Rambla de Catalunya not far from our digs. With time starting to fly we made our way back to Anakena House to collect our luggage and pick up a taxi to the airport. A fabulous ending to an even more fabulous week.
