In years gone by, the Christmas do at my work has involved hotel accommodation, as people live quite a way from the office (most of us just can't afford to buy homes near to work.) So this year we worked out we could spend the hotel money of Flights, and go have dinner somewhere different. Only difference was that other halves got left out his year. (Sorry Munchkin 
)
So last Saturday I went to Barcelona for lunch!
A long day I was picked up at half five and dropped of again at midnight, but very much worth it.
We unsurprisingly ran out of time, but got to go and see one of the Gaudi (Have I spelt that right?) buildings, and took a quick peak at the unfinished Cathedral. A long late lunch and it was time for a bit of a relax in one of the many little bars before a taxi back to the airport.
The food was wonderful, the people very patient of my terrible Spanish. Now it's another city I have to get back to, to see more fully. Still it proved that it could be done with ease in a weekend.
Sunday was unsurprisingly quite lazy, I spent most of the day dozing, but never mind, it was all worth it.
