Is that a barbie I can smell - no just our burning flesh. Ok ok, so we got a little over zealous with the notion of our apparent olive Australian skin - Barcelona sun is a tad more efficient. We are not tomato red, rather a nice burgundy. But it is back to the rooftop pool tomorrow for more glorious sun - the lack of such in London gives one terrible cravings.

Today we did a bus tour round the city, indulged in some fabulous tappas, hit the (dirty) beach and saw Gaudi´s infamous unfinished work, Temple Sagrada Familia. This is such an amazing building, finished or not.

We better run - the dubbed TV programmes are calling, as is the continuous CNN coverage of the rioting soccer fans in Germany. Why can´t they simply have a drink, hit eachother then hug and make up, like rugby players. All this need for hooliganism (British media´s favourite word) and starting fires, is truly beyond us.
