We arrived in Madrid a little past nine since we stayed on the beach in Barcelona for most of our day. Our map reading skills were not successful when we got off our metro line and spent more time than necessary looking for our hostel that was only a block away.

A Day at the Peak District
What a gorgeous day it was for us at Strines and The Peak District! The weather was glorious. We played with cows. We went to Chatsworth (where Pride and Prejudice was filmed) and drove through the Winett Pass, ate in Eyam (so good!) and had a great time with our tour guide Graham.

Our last night in Barcelona
On our last night in Barcelona we decided to not hang out at the hostel and find out what everyone else was doing, but rather go off ourselves at establishments that were more “local.”

We Made it to Manchester!
Hi everyone!
I know I’m behind on updating about Spain and Amsterdam, but I wanted to let everyone know that we made it safely to Manchester. I loved Spain and Amsterdam so much – that’s why I haven’t been updating because I’ve been too busy going out and doing things!
I don’t really get wifi in Lara’s abode, so my postings may be sparse (and probably won’t have photos either… sad) but I will try my best.
Yesterday we made a trip out to Liverpool, which is a very creatively stimulating town in my opinion (and where the Beatles first played) and today we are taking it easy and going to farm country: Strines!
Cheerio! ;)

Laying on the beach, one last time
On our final day in Barcelona, rather than jumping on a train early to Madrid as we had originally intended, the warm temperature and bright sun beckoned us to the beach one last time.

The Flamenco Show
Right next door to our hostel in Plaza Real was a small place where they had multiple flamenco shows per night. Luckily we also received a discount price since we booked the hostel next door.

Electric Bikes to Montjuic
Our walking tour guide was so wonderful that we decided to take his electric bike tour to Montjuic. It was SO MUCH FUN. For anyone going to Barcelona, you need to do this tour and request JB. We Heard about it originally through our hostel, Kabul.

Barcelona Day 3
This was my favorite day in Barcelona! We started the day out right with some churros con chocolate for breakfast.
