Disaster in France....and Barcelona!!

First thing first.....we had a bit of a disaster in Nice.  We checked out of the hotel and walked back to where our car was parked only to find that it wasn't there anymore! Luckily a lady walking her dogs saw what had happened and told us that some police had towed it! Apparently we were parked in a 'No Parking Zone' although there weren't any signs that actually said this!  She told us where to go and it cost us a long bus ride and a hefty fine to get the car back....but he is safely with us now!!

We set off the next day for Spain and have spent the night in a lovely little hotel in Castelldefels.  Today we journeyed into Barcelona where we shopped down 'La Rambla', which is the most famous street in Barcelona.  We also saw the 'Sagrada Familia' and a few other Gaudi buildings that where dotted around the city.  We enjoyed some Tapas and Paella by the docks, and a cheeky cocktail and ice cream.

Due to the unfortunate car incident, we have decided to head back to Italy a little sooner as we had a set budget for the trip.  We will be heading back tomorrow so there may not be much blog activity in the next week or so!
