Viva la Barcelona - December 2009

I thoroughly enjoyed nightlife in Barcelona!  We went bar hopping on our first night there.  First stop was a forrest themed bar complete with fake trees inside (or they could have been real for all I knew LOL)! They served good sangria!

Second stop was at Chuppitos...a 10x10 shooters bar with over 100 shots to choose from for a ridiculous 2 euros!!! it would have been ludicrous not to take advantage of it so went crazy on the shots. All I remembered from that bar was the fiery orange vodka shot we had where the bartender lit up the whole bar...and some willy wonka shots which was sooo delicious!

Afterwards we headed to a club strip where we hopped from one club to the next.  It was a good thing none of the clubs had a cover charge!

I met & made out with sexy Spanish guys with their sexy accents. (OK I lied.  Not all of them were sexy as I've been told! LOL) They kept speaking to me in their native tongue to which I kept nodding and smilling to in response, pretending I was understanding wtf they were saying! Yup it truly was a crazy night but hey I was on vacation...

The next day was spent sightseeing even though I was hungover like mad.  We checked out the famous La Sagrada de Familia Cathedral which continues to be under construction since its errection in 1882.  It had a very intricate gothic facade and inside was equally as amazing.  I even popped into a confessional booth which I had been wanting to do since God knows how long! unfotunately the priest inside couldn't speak english so in the end I had to apologise to him and leave as we couldn't understand each other.

We visited other famous sights, I don't really remember what or where - as mentioned above I was hungover - but it was enjoyable nonetheless.  We then went on a quest to find the perfect tapas restaurant.  It took us an hour to finally settle on a restaurant & what a disappointment! Oh well I guess that came with the 10euro price tag.  That evening, we once again went searching  for the perfect tapas and paella.  I was expecting a gastronomic experience but what a huge FAIL it turned out to me.  Ironically the Spanish food in Australia tasted ALOT better than the one in Spain!

  1. Dear Raine,

    I love how your writing always has such a poetic feel to it, as opposed to my entries which are filled with profanity and bitch fits, lol.

    With love,

    Your friend, Ella.
