La Ramblas

On our last full day in this wonderful Spanish city called Barcelona the jury is still out on today's activities , with the list as long as my arm of destinations still not visited this will be a tough decision on today's activities. With the sun well and truly up there is still no sign of the retail warriors ,one big day pounding the pavement seems to have cured the need to shop till you drop (maybe) . Las Ramblas wins the vote for the first activity of the day, Las Ramblas is a very wide tree lined avenue some 1.5 ks long running form the city to the waterfront, can you imagine a farmers market this long. We meander all the way down to the waterfront, wow this place is something else and on arrival at the big retail outlet I spot a bloke selling a self drive experience in the latest F430 Ferrari. Wadda is so excited at this offer he cannot refuse, I stumble to the counter like a slobbering wreck to book this bad boy offer. My slobber soon turns tears when they ask me for my current license, the rules require you to show it before they let you loose on the streets of Barcelona,and it's a long way back to Australia to get it. Plan B is to be driven through the streets of Barcelona by a pro,which I finally agree to. As I slide into the finest leather wrap around seats 20 year old Migual is parked behind the wheel with a cheeky grin from ear to ear, as he slowly caresses the accelerator of this beast I begin to worry This beast looks fast just standing still , the only thing that was gentle was the takeoff and parking at the end . The thrill of speeding around the streets of Barcelona was something I'll never forget this as long as I live ,more retail therapy . Arriving home to an empty apartment we grab a cab and head to the Barcelona casino where there were winners and losers, our last night in this wonderful city will be spent cleaning out the fridge . Some will have strawberries and cream other will have tomatoes on toast and hopefully all the beer is gone, we have a 1220 flight to Croatia for the next leg of this fantastic holiday.
