Inout is the name of the hostel we stayed at for two nights in Barcelona. The price was right. Right around 80 bucks for two nights, breakfast included. The hostel was nice and not to far from the downtown area. I have never slept in a hostel before, and that was a little different. The room we got has 5 bunkbeds with up to 10 people sleeping in one room and a shared shower and toilet. Every bunk has it´s own locker that is about 7 feet tall so our bags fit unpacked just fine. The first night, the room wasn´t full so it wasn´t too loud. Still people coming in after your asleep is very distracting. The room is very hot and Im on the top bunk, so probably hotter. Barcelona is hot in general.
The hostel is on protected forest land and the grounds are very beautiful. There is a resturant that serves all three meals, has a laundry facility, four computers with internet and more showers. The food, beer and wine is super cheep there. It´s nice to find some where cheeper than Denver to eat and drink. The staff are mostly all handicaped in some way, but it´s nice they have work in such a big city. The down side to the hostel, and I imagine most, is I´m kind of old to be here. There was some youth retreate of maybe 30 french teenagers running aruond. Teens are rude enough, but French teens are the worst. Baby frogs is what we started calling them. I guess my expectations were to meet other travelers that gave a shit about where they were and down for a conversation. Oh well... You get waht you pay for.
Barcelona has been one of the coolest citys I have ever seen. So beautiful, very cool people. I Had a realy great time there.
We decided to go to see the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres. So we rented a car in Barcelona and drove up there. The drive was nice and took about two hours. Oh yea... I forgot to say that the car is a brand new Fiat. Silver. Fast.
The Dalí museum was prety fantastic. It was everything I would have expected from Dalí. He has been one of my faveriot artists since I was a teen.
We left that night and hit the coast and begain to drive south. We are hopefully following the coast all the way to Cadiz. Now I am in Granada, at a cafe. Hopefully I will get some mor pictures up and or get a computer to play on for a while.
WOW, WOW, and another WOW!! I am so pleased that you get to have this experience! The pictures are wonderful!!
