Ah Barcelona

Cruising with Cyn
Collection of useless information circuitous to the OPERATION: Poisson Rouge Adventure.


Barcelona the first taste of our European adventure. And a small taste it is. We have a bit of time buffer if our flight is delayed (see Karen's weather reports for more info on that possibility). But logistically we have to make it from the Barcelona airport, there should be someone from RC there to direct us to the pier, we will need to secure our luggage go t the pier. We've been told that we will be allowed to board the boat (oh no my mom says it a ship appparently boats are small and the Voyager of the Seas aint small), I digress (have you seen that commercial?), drop our luggage, relax a bit (but do realize I believe staff will still be tidying our rooms and the boat, I mean ship) and then we may leave the ship if we are back by 5PM (I need to double check the time). So what does one do with a limited amount and undetermined amount of time in a foreign city?

Here is a short description of items to do in Barcelona taken from the RC web site.  Just make sure you are back in time.   

While you're in Barcelona, don't miss the Picasso Gallery. Several adjoining 15th-century palaces house a huge collection (over 2,000 pieces) of Picasso's work.

- Other Fun Things to Do Stroll along Las Ramblas, a wonderfully vibrant part of the city where street vendors and performers vie for your attention.

- Explore the many churches and cathedrals of Barcelona and discover the city's modernist architecture along Paseo de Gracia.

- Visit Antoni Gaudí's unfinished Segrada Familia. With eight soaring spires and a spectacular main façade, this cathedral is a true architectural masterpiece.

Onto the crux of this posting...please put some thought into what you will like to do in Barcelona and take the survey below.  I will then post the results in a subsequent posting. 



See ya in Barcelona
