Barcelona - Nice

Yesterday...
Left the very stylish Barcelona with many ideas on how to furnish our beachside 4 story mansion with butler.

Visited the imposing and stunning La Sagrada Familia. Grand, modern, based on natural designs like trees and natural shapes and curves. No matter what your religion, it is a great building. It is due for completion in 2020 but the budget and timeline are forever extending. The architect only lived long enough to see the first tower erected.

The main shopping strip is out of this world- Spanish shoe stores everywhere you look, only outnumbered by tapas bars and perhaps Zara. Rach could not resist the Spanish shoes.

Only just survived our carpark at our hotel. It took 30 minutes to park initially, and 30 plus a near crash experience to get out.

A big day of driving to our host in Nice. The ferris wheel is the view from our room, and our host is just as nice. All the roads were blocked for the local Carnival. Rachel's French lasts a little longer in to the night that Trav's, but our host Nicole est tres patient.
