Barca Tour

Took a guided tour to Montserat & the main sights of Barca. It didn't start too well. We had a 14 seat coach with 12 passengers. It was absolutely full, lardwise. I had 2 sitting next to me who needed 3 seats & we had 2 women in front, Badonka & Weeble who couldn't sit together - insufficient butt room. The monastry at Montserat was nice - they had the black Madonna who everyone wanted to touch, the queue of Catholics was huge. They had a gift room for her and some kind sole had left his prosthetic leg. We went and visited the Castle & 92 Olympic site at Monjuic Parc, very nice, except that the coach had some trouble with the door closing system. We had a little burning smell & sitting at the back Mum said grab the escape hammer on the window, we might have to bash Badonka on the head to keep the aisle clear. Sagrada Familiar & Park Guell are some places, I can't imagine what was going on in Gaudi's head. SagFam was started in 1884 & still not finished - avoid that building company for your extension.
