What to do what to do.



The minute we got back, I started to make a list of things that we hadn’t done and things that I wanted to do again. When I looked down my list, there wasn’t actually a lot left that I hadn’t done already. I can safely say (as I am writing this at the airport on my journey home – rubbish I know but I was too busy for laptops!!!) that I have done most things that I wanted to do during my stay in Barcelona. There is only one thing that I wasn’t able to complete, and that was not because I didn’t try, it was simply because it was too expensive. All my friends suggested a visit to Camp Nou to watch a game whilst being over there and also by my dad.  The only remaining home game within the month was the one against Real Madrid (THE BIGGEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE GAME OF THE WHOLE YEAR!!!!) The tickets for right up at the top, according to my friend Bal are rubbish seats, were going to cost us no less than 100€ per ticket. If I had managed to not spend quite so much money on dresses and cocktails, then I definitely could have gone, but with the week I had planned ahead, it just wasn’t going to happen. I have been a very lucky girly to be able to go on this trip, and have been entirely funded by the used to be unlimited bank account of dad that is now very much bankrupt and I have almost run the river dry! I didn’t think it would be very appropriate of me to ask for another amount of money for a football game! However, at least if I come again, I can do something that I haven’t already done. If I had done everything it wouldn’t be fun to come back! That’s my excuse anyway!
