A short trip to Barcelona
Oct 19th, 2007 by Kevin Holler
So last week we headed off to Barcelona with the school for a few days. I’ll give a short detailed explanation of what we done every day. I’ll keep it short and sweet so as not to bore you to death.
Day 1 - Friday
I stayed up all night and watched Disturbia. Left the house at about 2:45am and headed over to Jamie’s house (a friend of mine, who was also going on the trip). Then we headed up and collected Declan who had to be woken up. We arrived in town at about 3:30am, where everyone was meeting up. One of the guys had just come from the nightclub (which we had intended to do) which was quite funny. So we headed off to the airport, checked in and headed to the cafe for some breakfast. Then got onto the plane and headed for Barcelona.
After we arrived in Barcelona we had a full day trip on the bus awaiting us. As tired as we were, it was night to see some sun for a change. We then headed off to New Camp for a tour, which was quite interesting. Aside from the fact that i have no interest in watching soccer at all.
The rest of the day we just toured around. I think i fell asleep. Finally we arrived at the hotel, slightly exhausted and headed for our rooms. Then headed downstairs for some food. And the rest of the night we spent wandering around the hotel keeping the teachers awake and chatting on the balcony.
Day 2 - Saturday
We had to get up pretty early so we showered and then headed down for breakfast. The breakfast which was uhh.. lets say, much to be desired. So we got on the bus and headed for Mount Montserrat, which was about an hour or so outside of Barcelona. The view from up there was amazing.
After a few hours of exploring and viewing various buildings we went for some lunch. And then headed back towards the bus. Then we headed back to the hotel and got some dinner. In the evening we headed out to play crazy golf and bowling which was a good laugh.
Day 3 - Sunday (final day)�
On the last day we headed to� Port Aventura theme park. The drive up was about 2 and a half hours. The theme park was brilliant fun, excellent roller coasters there. I didn’t take any pictures that day tho. We then headed back to the hotel after a 3 and a half hour drive due to traffic, where we played some arcade games, people got drunk and nobody went to bed.
We then left the hotel at about 6am and headed to the airport and back we went to Ireland. I have to say i had never been so sleep deprived after a holiday, but i enjoyed it. If anybody is wondering why i told you about all of this, well i don’t know :P�
