Barcelona Photo Diary

About a month ago me and my boyfriend went on our first holiday just the two of us to Barcelona for 4 nights. At the time we booked everything through Monarch including hotel, transfers and flights. We went Sunday to Thursday, landing Sunday night and coming back early Thursday morning. I thought I'd do a photo diary of our trip.

Monday


Monday morning gave us the first opportunity to see what the view was like from our hotel room which was Hotel 4 Barcelona, luckily our room had a sea view which is more than we could ask for. We were within a 10 minute walk to the beach with the closest beach being Bogatell it was lovely.


Monday consisted of going on the hop on hop off tourist bus and a large part of our day was spent at the Nou Camp the home of Barcelona FC so we did the stadium tour of that and then the rest of the day was just spent exploring our surroundings. We had food by the beach for dinner which was really lovely.

Tuesday

The main thing was visiting the Sagrada Familia, it was absolutely amazing we went up the Passion Tower in the lift then walked down the very steep 400 steps back down but the views were incredibly, I loved it.


In the evening we decided to use the book of vouchers we had from the bus, so we went to the Aquarium which I actually really enjoyed it's a lot more immersive than the Sea Life Centre at home because most of it is in tunnels so you have fish swimming around you all the time. Then we had dinner with a view in at one of the restaurants in the shopping centre in the Marina and the food was the best of the holiday.



Wednesday

I had no plans so we just decided on the day what we wanted to do, again utilising the book of vouchers we had we decided to go to the Zoo and again I enjoyed the animals are a lot more free roaming even the lions they are not behind glass the only animals that were behind glass were the monkeys and obviously those in the reptile house and the birds. Others such as zebras, rhino, hippo were all in their own little patch. We also walked around the shops in Placa de Catalunya with lunch at the Hard Rock Café and a walk down La Rambla. We then spent an hour on the beach in the sun then went back out round the shops.


In the evening we went back to explore the shops and do some final shopping before we went home. We once again found ourselves at the Marina, it was one of our favourite places in Barcelona, so once again we had dinner there with a view once again and the food was lovely as it was the whole holiday. It was the perfect end to our holiday.



We really enjoyed our holiday there is so much we didn't do that really warrants another trip one day. I hope you enjoyed looking through some of our holiday photos, until next time.

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Carrie Hope Fletcher Book Signing

Hey Guys On Monday 12th September I attended Carrie Hope Fletcher's book signing for her fiction book On The Other Side at the Glee Club in Birmingham. This is the second time I have met Carrie and once again she was an absolute pleasure to listen too. I attended this event on my own, and I must stay that I think the Glee Club and the Waterstones team planned and hosted the event so well considering there was 350 people that turned up to this event and each one of those people had bought a ticket and a book. We were seated quite early as doors opened at 6 and I was in a seat by 6:30 with the event starting at 7, however there were people who turned up 10 minutes before the event and had to stand up because of all the seats that were taken which gives you an idea of how many people attended this event. Before the signing of the actual books, there was a 40 minute question and answer session with a representative from Waterstones asking Carrie questions about her book, being...

Review: Beauty and the Beast Musical

In March, me and two of my friends went to see Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney films and I was excited to see what this interpretation had in stall. The fairy-tale was first adapted into the much-loved Disney animated film in 1991 and became a Broadway production in 1993. The show opens with the familiar voice of Angela Lansbury and the enchanting music that we all recognise and with the help of the beautiful rose projection we are transported into the magic. Director Matt West leaves the story exactly how it is, only adding extra bits of comedy here and there which the audience engage with easily. The cast all suit their characters and portray them to perfection. Grace Swaby- Moore, understudy to Courtney Stapleton, was the embodiment of Belle, she captured the innocence of the character and belted the songs to perfection. Shaq Taylor portrayed the Beast will emotion and ferocity when needed. His voice ...
