Barcelona Day 14:19th June 2010

we took up this trail tour with explore catalunya again.this time, our guide is different.. Super humourous and the whole group enjoyed his company.he said to us many singaporeans are coming to bcn. Well, perhaps is the sun and the party life which has attracted them to bcn!

we stopped by a town named Vic.has a very nostalagic feel.there's this local market which sells all sorts of items the locals will need. We found our fav strawberries of coz and decide to bring it up to pyrennees to eat!

our next stop was up up the mountains to pyrenees.we start to see ice capped mountains along the way n were excited.apparently,there was snowing few days ago though it was summer time. We stopped by a train stop n will be takin the mountain train up nearer to the peak.weather was very cold but with great scenery.our guide mentioned this was a famous place for skiing, trekking all year round!i didnt expect this haha

the mountain train came every half an hr.pyrenees is located at the borders between france n spain.very strategic location.we saw deep valleys,huge mountains,rapids and waterfalls.the sight of pple trekking in the mountains exemplified how small humans are to mother nature.

we took advices from the guide to go for the chairlift first before exploring further into e mountains.washed the strawberries whic we earlier bought with the mountain water and savoured the beautiful sight of the nature with the tasty strawberries..heaven!!

then,we climbed up high the mountains and encounter many cows grazing the field.they were very busy and docile, except for one.

water streams, rapids

as we went all the way up, trying to catch sight of mountain goat,the steepness kinda trembled me as i turned back to see how high up we were.den..the challenge begins.this cow blocks our way en route down the mountains.i was frantic and screamed.it got frightened by my scream but surged forward to us.it was den we realise how dangerous we were..practically fled off from the stares of that cow.

the view at pyrenees was fantastic and i still rmbed clearly even till now. Highly recommend this day tour out of bcn!

the remaining time left in bcn was spent exploring little shops of las ramblas,the forever crowded place be it day or night,before putting a fullstop to our adventure in spain.

spain...vibrant,party,sun,passion..that's e sensation i bring it back home ;)
