Who would have thought that the days we chose to go to Barcelona would be the eve of the Chelsea Barcelona game?

Every mad dog English man was in Barcelona with us!!!













Chelsea fan's gathered at La Ramblas at an Irish pub in the afternoon before the game.  Their singing/chanting could be heard all over La Ramblas...





Still it was magnificent, the weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time.

Below is the apartment that we rented.

It was very rustic, minimalistic, large and well priced and fitted us all in easily.
It was 5 min walk to anywhere where we needed to be.

We were quite scared pulling up to the apartment at 2:00 am given there was a lot of people still out and about, and some sleeping in doorways.
The taxi driver told my husband (we were in seperate cabs) that there were lots of vagrant's about.

We walked off down the dark alley until our very kind land lady waved over the balcony to us to let us know where we were.

These were taken during the day, but I am sure it will give you a taste of what it might have been like in the wee hours of the morning.





















Tired little babies the next day...




















The little loft bed that the children loved....

I think they thought they were in Little House on the Prairie.









The view from the bed....




















Anyway, stay tuned for more from Barcelona!
