At the half way point of our cruise we leave the ship for a tour of Barcelona. ARRIVED IN BARCELONA THIS MORNING. GLORIOUS WEATHER. IT WAS EARLY AND THE STREETS WERE EMPTY AS IT IS A HOLIDAY. BY 11 AM THE STREETS WERE FULL OF PEOPLE. WE TOOK A CITY TOUR AND SAW SOME GAUDI BUILDINGS INCLUDING HIS FAMILIA CHURCH THAT IS UNFINISHED AFTER 120 YEARS OF WORKING ON IT - HE DIED IN 1929. THEN GOT A VIEW OF THE CITY AT THE TOP OF A HILL WHERE MANY OF THE 1992 OLYMPIC VENUES WERE HELD. WE GOT OFF THE BUS EARLY AND HAVE BEEN STROLLING DOWN LA RAMBLA WHICH IS A BOULEVARD FULL OF PEOPLE, MIMES AND STORES. SLOWLY WORKING OUR WAY BACK TO THE SHIP AT 5 PM BOUND FOR CARTEGENA, SPAIN.
