Viv & Linton made the most of their final morning of their trip by catching the metro out to the suburbs for some last minute shopping but had to settle just for a coffee with the shops closed.
Self and Kim took in Gaudi's wonderpiece and like the guys yesterday were gobsmacked by the design and scale of this cathedral called by some to be the 8th wonder of the world.

| Gaudi's masterpiece ! |
Our time as a group had come to an end and we sadly farewelled Viv & Linton as they departed to the airport for their long journey home by way of London and Hong Kong - so many great memories to add to our collection of joint holidays - thx for your fab company and for being great friends!
Kim, Kev and self spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the side alleys of Barcelona in parts narrow enough to be mugged by someone who wouldnt have to leave their front door.
This place has so many unique bars that a pub crawl would see you incapable of getting out of a street let alone an area!
Our last night was spent searching for the music as every street was set up with a stage you kind of figured that a party was about to happen but no we had no luck and thought maybe the
rain had put a halt to the festivities ( how wrong were as revellers were still going home at 730am when we were getting up!)
We settled instead for a spectacular light show in the city's constitution square that had thousands jammed packed watching a homage to arcade games and visual effects done exactly to the shape of building that the light was projected upon giving the impression that the building itself had come alive!
What a great way to finish our time in Barcelona - its time to move on for our final leg cycling the Italian lakes and heading over the Alps into Switzerland by bike !
