Restless in Barcelona

Two weekends in Barcelona since the trip to Rome: one a deliberate break, the other brought about by apathy towards travelling 24 hours to just get to Austria, and on the same ol' route through France and Italy.

But time's a-running out... I've in store a ten-day trip through Austria, Germany and maybe Scandinavia before the exams and possibly one final fling - a ski-trip to the Pyrenees in Andorra - after the exams.

Restless but not idle

Nov 18th - A visit to Barcelona's beaches, finally, and late by about a month for its sunny glory

Nov 19th - A failed attempt to scale Tibidabo, Barca's highest point, but made up with hot chocolate, watching Ronaldinho and co. thrash Real Madrid 3-0 at Santiago Bernabéu.

Nov 23rd - A Indian dinner for an international twelve at Moti Mahal, Sant Pau.

Nov 25th - This time, an international dinner: The International Gastronomic Festival 2005 at ESADE, with stalls set up be students from about 20 countries!

Nov 26th - Harry Potter y el Cáliz de Fuego, 2120 show at Icaria, Port Olimpic - in English with Spanish subtitles

Nov 27th - An evening walk through the heart of Barcelona - Arc de Triompf, Parc de la Ciutadella, Urquinaona, Las Ramblas - minus the camera, accompanied by just myself.

...and setting the stage for Vienna with the brilliant pair of Before Sunrise, Before Sunset (the guy was travelling with a Eurail pass!) and Salzburg with The Sound of Music!
