Good weather, great nightlife and awesome shopping.
That's how I would describe Barcelona in one sentence.
Today we hit the shopping circuit in the Ramblas. There are lots of cool little stores here on the main drag and in the alleyways.
Last night we went to a few bars in Ramblas, not too far from our hostel. We started out at a fairy bar, then headed to an Irish Bar, shot bar and a dodgy bar down the road from where we're staying.
The shot bar was sweet- 2€ shots, 300 of them! We tried a cartoon, a B52 and another shot that the barman lit on fire.
There was one called a Gemma (yes with a G) but the bartender said they were shite so we didn't try one!
The last bar was pretty scummy, but we got to flip a coin for each beer. If you got it right you got it for free, wrong and it cost you 4€! Happy to say I had two free beers!
Tonight we are heading out to the Irish bar for happy hour (beers are 1€ until 8, and cocktails 3€ each from 8pm-10pm.
Tomorrow we are doing a free walking tour of the city, plan to head down to the docks and a pub crawl!
Having much fun here... only three days until I leave though :(
Hope you have been enjoying the posts, don't forget to comment!

PS - I'm going to Police Media (bahaha!) and so is Shaun (!!!!!).
BTW - THE FRICKEN XMAS PARTY IS AT THE....
LEXUS CENTRE!!!!!
And apparently the Collingwood players are going to be the WAITERS on the night! You'll love that.
Joke about the players, but the party is seriously at Maggies HQ.
Damnit. i miss out again.
Glen I think I going to cry!
I thought Shaun was leaving (read it thru facebook) and I am getting depressed already as I only have three more nights in this amazing city!
I can believe you are both going to Police media. Funny thing is I saw a job for PM on Seek, but didn't go for it as I knew the interviews would be going on while I was overseas.
Don't think I will be able to make it to Racers on Friday night, but I sure we will catch up soon after I return.
Great news about the Christmas party- I suppose that's one thing I can be excited about.
Say hello to all at Star (whoever is left anyway).
Oh, and I hate both you and Shaun!
Hi Mel
Yeah, I'm leaving too. Glen pretty much summed it up.
I'm leaving on 22 October, so I'll still be here when you get back.
I'll miss out on the xmas party, though, which is a shame! Although given the black and white theme, this is the year to miss ;-)
Hope you've had a ripper time overseas
Iguana
Well itś gonna be a lonely pod after you leave Iguana!
Seriously though, congrats to you both on your new jobs.
Glen, I am a bit concerned about my new portfolio- do we have any replacements yet?
Hopefully nobody else will quit before I get back.
Can wait for the xmas party, sucks to be you guys! Maybe one of you can come as my date- I'll take the highest bidder!
Take care, see you both soon!
Hey stinky, love your blogs, abd photos! Hey 1 thing aren't you ment to be celebrating Jem's 22nd birthday?
Octoberfest looked awsome! Good to see some photos, do you get back to on the 6th?

That last comment was from Bel. Don't know why it says its from Tom. Love you long time Bel
Hey Bel,
Itś Saturday night here and I'm packing up my belongings so I am ready to leave at 4.30am. Got to get to Frankfurt, where I will stay until 2am the next day when I catch a bus to the airport to fly home. Then 4hr stop over in London!! This is going to be the worst 48hrs of my life. So in short, to answer your question I arrive in Melbourne about 11.50pm this Tuesday night so I will be ready to play on the weeekend!
See you then
