Yesterday we hopped on and off the hop-on-hop-off bus. Unfortunately, we had to wake up earlier than I wanted to, which at least gave me insight into how great sleeping is. Anyway, like every morning so far, we found a cafe and ate our usual breakfasts. I had a chocolate croissant and a cup of hot chocolate. Baba had a coffee. My croissant was subpar compared to the others I've had in the past few days, and the hot chocolate fulfilled its job of being both hot and chocolaty. We waited around for a few more minutes, then boarded the bus.
The first of the three stops was Park Guell, a public park designed by Gaudi. We purchased a new pair of sunglasses for me to replace the ones I'd lost (sorry Mom!). Recently, they changed the park to make the tile lizard in a place you have to pay to get into, and we could see the lizard from afar, so we decided to just leave the park and return to the bus.
The second and by far the most interesting stop was the Barcelona science museum. Due to a severe lack of signs, we wandered around for a almost a half an hour, attempting to find the museum. Once we arrived, the museum was fairly good, right until the end (when it became great!). First off we walked down a giant spiraling ramp around the above tree. Then we walked through an exhibit on the on the nearby Mediterranean Sea. That exhibit was not the most enjoyable. From there we walked into the main museum, with many physics-related exhibits, all of which were interactive. The level of interactivity made the museum really fun. But at the end, they had an amazon-like forest with ponds containing very large fish of all sorts, various tall trees, and this, a capybara:
Here's what it looked like:
Our final stop was Mont Juic, a nearby hill that took a funicular ride to reach. Baba did not want to go, so I went up, took some pictures, and went down. Here's one of the pictures:
