It is 2009!! December 08' was jajah's first vacation in UK. Holiday can never be the same without Amadah, Bapa and Babu. However, we did enjoy our vacation to Barcelona, Spain. Thanks to all your taughts, advises and prayers.
Alhamdulillah, we are all safe back in UK to study and prepare for our EXAMS this month. Hopefully, everyone will do well. Anyway, I will summarise our 4 nights schedule in Barcelona. I planned the places to visit the night before we fly. (22nd. December, 2008) Membali jua buku Top 10 places in Barcelona.

On our way to the apartment, which was around 20 mins. The taxi driver did tour guiding for us. "PARC, COLON, LA RAMBLA, PORT VELL, BARCELONETA" paham jua lah sikit2 :P
- While waiting for Zarina at 28 Ginebra, semua orang kabak-kabak kaliaah..wondering whats the condition of the apartment. Larap bah usulnya diluar ah. Mimah pun ijap. Tesubuk-subuk jendela ah. Mana pantainya? Skali sudah masuk nah! It was awesome!! Entrace to a dining room + kitchen + Tv! then.. Downstairs, the basement....
Exactly outside our apartment door
After everyone settled! BAH JALAN!! CARI SEAFOOD! but then we end up going to BARCELONETA BEACH! then jalan-jalan around Port Olympic..
Perut lapar, cari makan! TARGET SEAFOOD! El Rebujito at Port Olympic was our first restaurant in Barcelona. Had Paellas (Paeyas), Mussels and seafood set. Price..We shared among 10, so it was worth it
PAELLA (2 portions)
TAPAS
Lapas makan, some had ice-cream then walk again to the 'Arch d Triomph' *spelling*. We did not want to waste our time in Barcelona.
Balik! some rest but Nawi, Zaim, Jajah and I jalan - jalan lagi around Barceloneta.
Day 2
- Outside the house by 10am. Walked to L'Aquarium!!!!!
Quote by them "If you haven't been here, You haven't been to Barcelona"
Next! had lunch at some shopping place nearby then crossed the bridge at Port Vell to 'Drassanes' the metro stop located at La Rambla. Took the metro to 'Parallel' then get on to the funicular (macam train tapi this one goes uphill) to 'MONJUIC PARC!'. Naik lagi cable car to the Castle!! KONONYA.. castle c Zaim and Jajah! Very nice view!!!
Enjoying the sights we then, ride the cable car back down to walk around the Park! Art gallery, Gardens and stadiums - NOT CAMP NOU-.
The indoor stadium -Palau Sant Jordi- Above
Below: The MNAC
Malamnya..Dinner at Barceloneta... Tried Paellas Noodle and the Negro Paellas then went to La Rambla to walk around and requested a spray painting. We knew there were lots of Bruneians in Barcelona at that time but did not expect to bump into them that night. Apparently, its Mira currently studying in Belfast! Jajah's tution fren and Vovvy's cousin.
After Camp Nou we split up. Keri, Azam, Zul and Rina went together and the rest of us in another group.
Sagrada Familia
Here, at Sagrada Familia be extra careful with the children that ask for donations and signatures. While you're busy signing their sheets they will sneak their hands into your bags or pockets for more money!
Christmas Day 5 (everything tutup)
Dua orang pakai kacamata hitam BARU di spain!
In front of Picasso Museum. Jaume 1 metro stop. Lucky ada CROISSANT NYAAAMAAAN and we get to see a performance depan the Cathedral.
We enjoyed the night lights of Barcelona from MNAC.
Makan Waffle then Haagen-Dazs *spelling* ice cream..lapas atu PAELLAS lagi for the last time!!
Love from,
Mimah and Jajah

The plan was to naik that 'Torre De Collserola' tapi tutup.. Urang atu cakap "Come tommorow!" apa tommorow ah..
Information from the internet says the Magic fountain will be playing on Thursday! However, I think Christmas jua punya pasal its OFF :(:( anyway while waiting for 7pm we had dinner at La Rambla, Rajah, an Indian Restaurant.
