Barcelona baby!

So, a good start to the day on Tuesday, when we started our mission over to Barcelona. We caught the easybus from Baker Street in London and it was supposed to take us to London Luton. There was only me, Tink and Mogs on the bus, so we were having a drink and a chat, literally 10 minutes into the journey, the driver was cruising down the bus lanes on Finchley Road and smashed straight into a little yellow MG, crushing the left hand side and flipping it round 90 degrees.

The poor little car which was being taken for a test drive by the local garage, probably in there for a little service was most likely a write off. My laptop took a beating, but the big beauty is still working, and we were just a little shook up, but luckily nobody was hurt.

We made it to London Luton in the end, after we were put on another coach which didnt have any air-con (hot and sticky) and the rest of the journey was plain sailing. We arrived in Barcelona about 10pm, then after a quick settling into our sweet little apartment in the centre of town, we headed out to explore, naturally the beer started flowing (i dont usually drink beer) when we headed over to the ramblas for a bite to eat. We even had our own live entertainment while we were eating, which consisted of three prostitutes bitch slapping some poor guy with sticks, i guess because he didnt pay or something, classic.

Then we explored the side-streets and ended up in some local Spaniard bar for more beer. We met two American girls and a guy from Canada, guess where in Canada? Edmonton, he he… i was shocked, ive been to Edmonton for Grant Skinners wedding, and obviously Grant is pretty well known around those parts i hear. Anyways, he turned out to be a bit of a nutta, and decided that we should go to the beach at 5am and go skinny-dipping, he was straight in there, swimming away, got out and was shaking away because it was pretty cold :)

All in all a great night, we didnt go to bed until 8am, so slept until 4 in the afternoon. Lastnight was a great night too, it was Tink’s birthday, which ill blog about later. As for OFFF, we didnt make it to the conference today, since we didnt wake up until 6pm.
