Hen weekend in Barcelona

Delayed at Stansted..yes we hit the bar at 9.30 am!!

Some of the wierd architecture around Barcelona

Had an absolutely fantastic weekend with Zoe and her friends in Barcelona. It is such a great city with so much to see and do. Of course, being a hen weekend, quite a lot of sight seeing was revolved around the night life of the city.

After a 7 hour delay at Stansted thanks to good old Easyjet, we got going to our destination. We stayed at Hotel Lleo which was right next to Las Ramblas. The others met Zoe, Anna and myself off the plane and had sorted everything out back at the hotel, so when we arrived it was a quick change, glass of bubbly and off for an exciting evening of celebrations down at the Olympic village area by the marina. Say no more about that night ;-)

Sunday was spent recovering from the excitement of the night before and the open top bus tour was the best way to see Barcelona. Fantastic sunbathing potential too so everyone happy. Lots of tapas and more sangria followed in the evening, although a little less rowdy than Saturday night.

We couldn't pass the opportunity for a day on the beach and so before flying home Monday night, we sunned ourselves and swam in the med.

It was a great girly weekend and a perfect city which I would love to go back to and be a proper tourist in!

It was just all too much for some people!
