Over the last two days we visited a couple of places that we just never really made it to while in Barcelona on the ship. The first was up on a hill…an amusement park by a church. It is called something like Tibudabo. I can’t remember exactly because Deanna and I took to calling it “beeboobahboh.” The church up there was very tall and we were able to climb up to the top for a great view. I think the only place taller is Montserat…a mountain with a monastery near the top. To get to Tibudabo we thought we would need to take a subway, to another subway, to a funicular. That estimate was close. This is when we found out that two different subway companies run in Barcelona. So, we took a subway one stop to transfer and found out we had to pay for new tickets on this other brand of subway. We took that subway to a trolley. We took that trolley to the funicular. Four forms of transportation to get up a hill to a church.
The next day we went to that other tall place…Monserat. Not only did we go from subway to subway to rack and pinion train to funicular, but we added a hike to the mix. It was a partly-cloudy day but this place is so high up that we were able to get some great views. I can’t really describe it. It was high up. As we were at a viewing area so high up at the end of the trail, the clouds started to come in. Our entire hike back, a hike that was filled with views on the way up, was obscured by clouds. Completely. As in, we were in the clouds.
That took up most of the day. You’ll have to go check out my pictures on flickr…when I get them up.
