Highs and lows of Gaudi

Our day was to focus on two Gaudi creations in Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. Attempts to get tickets were frustrated last night and again this morning when tickets were booked and then found to be invalid. All we could do was to see the outside of Sagrada without going into the Cathedral. Still an incredible sight to see the old part completed by Gaudi and the new sections trying to realise his unique vision.
We then opted to walk to the former bullfighting ring (now a market or performance arena) and the Arc del Triomf before meeting the Langfords for another nice Pinxos lunch down the road from our apartment. Gail had a little shopping afternoon, buying a bag and some clothes while I wandered through our neighbourhood.
We had a farewell dinner with Robert at a local tapas restaurant that I had researched before leaving Oz. While it was a little more expensive than most meals in Spain, we were very impressed by the quality of the food and the passion of the staff. One of our better meals.
