Yesterday I shared the first part of our Barcelona adventure with TravelSupermarket. Today, I am back with the second instalment sharing the fun activities that TravelSupermarket arranged for us.
Saturday
We woke up on Saturday morning and after a quick Google we headed to Federal, hailed as the best place in Barcelona for breakfast. We weren’t disappointed. Run by hipsters, we did wonder if we were cool enough to eat there, but it was great and really reasonably priced too.
Then we headed across town to Barcelona Zoo, passing that most fabulous human statues as we walked.
I think Barcelona is definitely much more of a fun place than, for example, London; well it’s not every city that has a giant lobster statue is it?!
Barcelona is breathtakingly beautiful. Everywhere you look there was another perfect photo opportunity.
Once we were in the Zoo, Baby began taking pictures of EVERYTHING on her new toy camera.
We were so excited to see a baby Zebra! Such a treat.
Of course as soon as Baby spotted the ponies she wanted to ride. It was around $3 for a couple of times round the paddock.
Baby also got to ride a Zebra (a statue)!
Ah Flamingos are so beautiful!
After spending a few hours in the Zoo we headed across the Parc De La Ciutadella to see the Cascada Monumental. Wow it was so stunning!
When we returned to the hotel and Baby and I retired to bed, Mr Hubby went up to the terrace for a drink and to admire the night time view.
Sunday
We decided to eat in the hotel first thing, which costed around $15 euro each for a buffet style breakfast. We then set off on another walk, this time to the Aquarium (which was a little closer to our hotel than the Zoo). We passed the stunning Port De Barcelona and the amazing shopping complex, which was over the dock from the World Trade Centre. We were so lucky with the weather, it was scorching!
It wasn’t long before we arrived at the aquarium and I was thrilled to see the Seahorses, I think they look amazing. Baby quite liked them too!
The underwater tunnel through the shark tank was really cool.
There was a massive shark above our heads, we don’t always look like this!
Baby’s new friend!
After leaving the Aquarium we stumbled across this lovely market, full of wonderful crafters and makers. I even managed to pick up some lovely earrings too!
Then sadly it was time to head back to the hotel to grab our bags, before making our way to the hotel to catch our flight. Although returning from holiday is always a little sad, we headed to the airport with our heads so full of memories from a holiday we will never forget.
Here is a little video I made our our weekend, I hope you enjoy!
Thanks to TravelSupermarket for giving us this wonderful opportunity.
