Norman Foster Tower
People watched


The one piece of architecture I missed on this trip was the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao by Gehry. A piece we planned a day around and a flight to and from. We missed the airplane, the scale on the metro map for Barcelona was not to scale and we misjudged the time it would take to get to the airport. I have a feeling though if we would have made this flight we would have missed the one to Paris the following day.

So, at 7 in the morning we had to go back into Barcelona and find a hostel. Definitely NOT the one we stayed at the previous nights. We went right for the spot where it would not be to far away from the city center. We found one and it was 30 euros, worth it though. I took quite a long nap once there. Then we went out to the Norman Foster tower and I walked around and watched tourists the rest of the day. That night I went next door to the bar and had some Swedish people start talking to me because they thought I was Swedish. Had a few beers and called it a night, excited for Paris in the morning
