Our third and final day in Barcelona dawned beautiful again, so we decided to take it fairly easy. Laurie wanted to view another of Gaudi's creations (apart from 'La Sagrada Familia'), which is an apartment block in downtown Barcelona (La Pedrera). One of the apartments is now a museum, and they give you full access to the Roof, which is cool. So we spent the morning looking round here. The roof was awesome; the chimneys having designs like the one in the photo above. You could also see La Sagrada Familia from the roof.

We then headed off to a lazy lunch at the Hard Rock cafe. I know, its cheesy, but I hadn't had a steak in a while and I really felt like one. It wasn't suppose to be a lazy lunch, but unfortunately the Spanish seem to work to a different timescale to the rest of us. So a couple of hours later we eventually got served, and most of the afternoon had gone by.

But we did have time to go and do a bit souvenir shopping. Or we would have, if we hadn't come across the rudest shop keeper ever. So after he insulted me, I explained to him how this probably wasn't the best way to get me spending money in his store, and how his approach to his customers may need some work, amongst a couple of other things that might not be best repeated. He left pretty quickly after I had finished my tirade ;-)
