Tuesday the 19th -> Monday the 25th of August, 2008 – Barcelona is a party town with little regret.

Our time spent in Barcelona was surely the most relaxing of our entire trip.

Picture unabashed sleep-ins, a lot cheap sangria and supermarket-bought tortilla, going out ‘on the town’, taking advantage of the free internets at our lovely hostel, meeting people, getting drunk at the zoo, and days literally spent wandering aimlessly and unguided around the streets of the city.

Because of this, I’m going to do a wrap-up of our time in Barcelona in just one blog post.

A skeptic could say that I found the city to be worth so little that I could wrap up the place in its entirety in just the one post (and I dedicated a whole post just to traveling there! Sucks to be you, Barcelona, you douche!).

This, however, would not be true. I loved that city.

The real truth is that (a) I am writing this almost three weeks into the future,
(b) I have very little motivation to account for every day, but mostly because
(c) there were a lot of really great, incidental happenings that aren’t worth writing lengthy prose about.

You know the saying “a picture’s worth a thousand words”? Well, I have one hundred and one great photos from our stay in Barcelona already uploaded to my beloved Flickr photostream. Many of them with highly amusing titles, fabulous captions and witty retorts.

we love zoo!

If you honestly expected me to write up my Barcelona trip in full, it would work out as something like this:
111 photos x 1000 words = 111, 000 words.

Fuck you for expecting me to write you 111, 000 words on Barcelona.
Who do you think I am - George Orwell?

Actually, now I don’t even want to write any more on the subject.
For you see, here in the future, I am sitting on my bed back in London, nursing a spot of the flu that I seemed to have picked up somewhere, self-medicating with coffee and biscuits I brought back from the Haage, and I honestly just can’t be bothered.

That being said, please check out my completely awesome photos from our great time spent in Barcelona. You’ll love it.
