Madrid! What a city.. Dee lost her wallet at the train station so we had to go to the police station which turned into quite the situation. Dee, in a panic, was talking so fast that you couldn't understand her even if the police understood English. Whist waiting for dee we decided it was drink on time so tried to ask the officer if he could tell her we would be in the pub.. This didn't translate too well as he thought he were asking if they wanted to come drink with us. Soon after jonesy used his google translator to tell the officer what we meant and we set off to the bar.. But this bar was a strip bar! Giggling we went back to the police officers and using charades we explained jonesy was keen but Emma and weren't so were was a normal bar without nude women! The next couple of days was filled with great company from hostel folk! Lara, a lovely girl from Germany, located a salsa/samba bar where we were given free drinks pretty much all night! Or
if we did buy a drink it wad 2 euro! After starting off a robot swaying side from side I ended up.. In my mind.. Thinking u had the hang of it! Ah when in Madrid! After tasting chiros and locating a vegetarian restaurant my Madrid trip had come sadly to an end.. So off to the airport! Ah before you judge me. I'm stupid and have never done this on my own.. So in panic and follow some other guy with a giant backpack I went through the security check not realising you gotta check your luggage in first and not one! Not one, single worker, traveller, anyone at all told me this so they let me go through.. And only after I asked information where was my flight and where do I check this massive bag over 10kilos in did they correct me! A walk through two fricken terminals later I checked my bag in and went to my flight! I laugh now but "hablo engless?" can only get you so far! But safe and sound some lady said something in Italian on the plane.. Giggle and smile! Ah!

A little more Barcelona
After riding around this city and actually enjoying the beach we went for a siesta and went off to dinner at 11:00pm. We found a lovely little restaurant with funny waiters on the main square near our hostel! By mistake I ordered fried green tomatoes and skimmed past the ingredients as they were in Spanish.. But when my meal came out as beautiful as it looked there was fish hidden in the centre! Ha! Lucky I havent lost my sense of smell! So tradesies with dee and I was eating paella instead! When the waiter did bring out the sangria however he did say something about it being especially for us, little did we know this sangria was so strong that when jonesy arrived we were quite tipsy. After 2 jugs we ventured off into the night! Dee felt unwell and went back to the hostel. When dropping her off we asked the hostel guy who was from Peru where to go.. He suggested a place called tasty.. It was crap. They did give us all a mojito for 5 euro plus a free shot of wet pussy which basically taste like a French pussy shot.. So after an embarrassing moment of me yelling over Olivia newton John "this tastes like French pussy!! Yah!" and the bar man thinking I was a French carpet munched we left to meet Omar at 2:30am! Well most of this is cloudy from now and I woke up with bruises and cut allover my legs. But from what I remember we got into a club for free which had a huge line.. I found 5 euro.. We got free beers all night. Jonesy dropped his drink and they came along with sand, covered up the bottle and gave him a brand new drink! Well jonesy had to crash.. Had just got off the plane. Apparently we had went to two bars Emma just informed me. After all this somehow we ended up climbing a massive look out.. And climbing through a restricted area through prickly bushes and shrubs only to find a second look out where you could see over the port! We made it back to the hostel to find dee well awake and recovered informing us it was 8am! What a night. But after 4 hours sleep we got up walked the whole day around the city to see gaudi architecture! Magnificent!

Barcelona!!!
Hola Barcelona! We finally arrived after 2 flights and a long sleepy stop over in singpore airport aka Jurassic park! But now we are here in lovely Barcelona, it's such a strange place. Our hostel is down a little but long side street where all the town ladies of the night and day hang out or go to work so to speak. I'm hypnotised by this city it's just so beautiful! Everyone is beautiful and good looking! I always knew such a place existed where even the street garbage collectors were fine! For now I'm not sure what to do, sit back and watch and admire or go see everything? I can't decide but it's only the first day!
