The highlight of any city in Europe seems to be the cathedral in the middle of the city. I will give them something, they are damn impressive. Something we don´t really have in Oz, but if I have to visit another one .....
And who can go to Barcelona without visiting the Gaudi works. Apparently when he graduated from University they said he was either a genius or madman. He was definitely a bit of both. The following was an apartment block he did.
And of course the Cathedral which he spent the last twelve years of his life working on. It still isnt finished. Now that is slow.
And finally one picture of yours truly on top of the Gaudi building, just to keep a few people happy that I am eating well. Although, if you read the last post, you would see that I havent been holding back.
This is a good photo of some of the bits and pieces on the rooptop.
Ok, now I have seen the architecture of Spain, it is time to head back to the hills. Rob and I left Barcelona and are currently in Foix where we will be for the best part of a week while prepares for one of the legs of the tour de france. Every year, they pick one leg that they allow anybody to ride on a particular day .

Hi Tony
It's good to see you and Rob have caught up with eachother. I love the photos and running narration of your trip through europe. Hopefully the beers and tapas won't slow Rob down in his race. Give him a hug from me.

Yes ... eating too well I suspect. Why dont you ride the open Tour D'France leg with Rob, just think of all those Hills. Have fun.
Cheers, DK
