Today was my last Gaudi site. I headed up to Park Guell with its views out over Barcelona. After wandering around the park I gave myself a little reward. Next up was a visit to the Barcelona Cathedral. This couldn’t have been more different from Sagrada Familia and made an interesting contrast. I wandered around…

But not Barcelona, today was the town of Vic. There was not a really great start to the day. The plan was to take a metro to get to the train that takes you to Vic. Only problem is that the station that said online it would take you to Vic was not actually running…

Yet another day of walking till I’m ready to collapse. Today was the day of three Gaudi houses. The first house/apartment was La Pedrera – Casa Mila. I believe this building is still occupied by either businesses or people as you can really only see one floor and the roof. The next building was Casa…

Started this morning with a fun ride on the metro rather than a hour long hike to get to my big site of the day. The only location for the day was Sagrada Familia Basilica. This was the final project of Gaudi that he knew would not be completed in his lifetime. To date the…

This was supposed to be a birthday trip for my mother but due to a vicious attack by nature I am here on my own. There will be a lot of pictures of Gaudi buildings as that was the main thrust of the trip when originally planned. Really late flight led to arriving in Spain…

Final full day in England and I spent it in the home town of the Bard, Stratford-Upon-Avon. Fun side note, there are multiple river Avon in England! Found that out when I tried tracing one of them and realized it did not go through Stratford. I was able to get another combo ticket today. One…

Food market today! I had heard about a food festival happening in the town of Broadway before I flew out so I had added it to my list. The festival was not huge but was still fun to wander through. I also go to wander through the town itself! The afternoon was another castle, Sudeley…

I am now in the Cotswold, known the world over for its quaintness. This morning I was once more able to see Roman ruins at Chedworth Roman Villa. Thankfully, today is an English Heritage Day so the Villa was free to visit! Lunch was great! After lunch I ran into a farm shop called Jolly…

Almost wasn’t able to post today. Fun problems downloading my pictures this evening. Sadly, I left The Swan in Wedmore and head north to the city of Bath. I’ve been looking forward to this day pretty much the whole trip! I’ve never seen a Roman bath with water in it so this was going to…

This morning I headed to the town of Cheddar. Yes, this is where cheddar cheese was invented! However; I did not go for the cheese but for the caves. The town of Cheddar rests at the end of the Cheddar Gorge. A popular hiking area and the largest gorge in England, Cheddar Gorge was created…
