We've managed to hunt down some internet access here in Carcassonne but we are forced to use French keyboards with all their crazy keys in crazy places! Still no photos... maybe we should have bought that laptop in Hong Kong after all!
To be honest, we haven't missed the technology at all, except maybe our ipods when on long train trips! It has forced us to update our travel journals and also to read (and re-read) all the travel info we have.
Barcelona was an extremely cool place. We were staying in the Barri Gottic, which was convienently located in the restaurant/bar district. Convenient, that is, until we tried to sleep! The locals are on a different clock to everyone else and would routinely be up at 3-4am partying - right outside our window! It didn't help that I got a bit sick from something I ate and was heading to bed at 10pm.
Despite all that, Barcelona is a place I could easily revisit. A rainstorm kept us from visiting Figueres, but in between the rain there was brilliant sunshine and an excellent vibe. A memorable place!
We are now staying in the ancient town of Carcassonne, with its ridiculously awesome looking castle. In terms of pure medieval-ness it blows away everything else we have seen so far. You can almost still see the archers shooting arrows and people pouring oil on you! It's one cool place.
My time is almost up now. Au revoir all!
