Last week, me and my BFF went to Barcelona. Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain. We took easyjet plane and flew from London Gatwick. The journey took almost 2 hours to reach the destination. We took off at 6.55am and arrived at Barcelona Terminal 2 Airport at 9.55am. But my clock was showing 8.55am when the plane reaches the ground. I was kinda confused when the pilot said that we landed at 9.55am. This is because of the time zone has changed. Spain local time is advance 1 hour from UK time zone. The sun was shine brightly when I got out from the plane. I was very excited to see the sun because it has been cloudy for quite awhile at my place.
Then we took the train to our hostel at Numancia. Unfortunately, we got mix up with the direction that a fine lady gave when we were at the airport. The train went through the Barcelona terminals and we still haven't get off from the train. Luckily we noticed that something was wrong and we asked direction from one of the passenger. We had missed the station that we should get off so we got off at the next station. Then we take the train back to the Barcelona. Then we met an old guy in the train. He is English, but has been living in Barcelona for quite some time. He gave us the direction to our hostel. After got off the train, we had to take tram to go to our hostel. To be honest, this was my first time taking tram. So I kinda excited. Hihi. Then we reached our hostel at 1pm. Unfortunately, we only can check-in at 2pm. So we went to the nearest shopping mall which is only 2 minutes walking from my hostel.
Long story short, we checked-in at 2pm and went out again at 4pm. The first place that we visited in Barcelona was Sagrada Familia. To be honest, that was the only thing that I want to see in Barcelona. So I kinda excited when I saw it.
Then after took lots of photos in front of Sagrada Familia, we wandered around that area. After got bored with that area, we took the train to Catalunya. It was already night when we got there. After wandered around that area, we went back to our hostel.
THE SECOND DAY. Right after taking our breakfast, we went to Jaume. We don't have any plan exactly. We were thinking to go to any museum in that area since it was free for us to enter some of the museums. Then when we tried to find our way to the Museu d'Historia de Catalunya since that is the nearest museum from the station. While we were looking for the direction to the museum, there was one guy greeting us from the back. He is the guy that I saw when I was about to enter the plane to Barcelona. He asked whether he can join us. Since he has a goody face, I said yes. His name is Hannan. He is Brunei. He's studying at Uni of Sussex and staying at Brighton. Then we went all over the Barcelona town until night.
Hannan is the guy in the middle; wearing spec.

THE THIRD DAY. I cannot recall the station that I took but that station is near to one of the uni in Barcelona. That was the station that we promised to meet Hannan. He was already there when we reached that place. Poor him, he had to wait for us. Then we passed the entrance of the uni to go to one of the park there. I don't know what's that park called, but it was very beautiful. Then we went to Arc de Triompf. After taking photos there, we went to La Pedrera, Casa Battlo, Casa Amatler and there is one place that I cannot recall. Hihi. Then we decided to go to La Ramblas for dinner. After got off the train, I was feeling uneasy and feel like checking my purse. Unfortunately, it wasn't there. I was panic and I don't know what to do. I might drop it somewhere. Then we went to the police station to make a report. It took me 2 hours to make a report. This is because they don't understand English & I need to wait for a translator. Most of the people in Barcelona cannot speak English. They understand English, but they cannot reply back in English. So every time me & Azma asked for a direction, they replied back in Spanish. It was so funny. It was like a cat talking to a dog. Luckily I picked up some Spanish words like Hola : Hello, Gracias : Thank you, Aki : Here, Perdone : Excuse me, Si : Yes, Por Favor : Please, Entrada : Entrance, Sortida : Exit. Yet, I still don't get what they meant most of the time.

THE LAST DAY. We don't visit much in the last day. We went for souvenir shopping and wandered around the town before took our flight back to London.
Barcelona is a great place to visit. To whoever hasn't visit Barcelona yet, I recommend you to go. I also might be going to Barcelona again. :)
