Hanging on Messi

Will he play or not? Stay tuned. Sleep in on Sunday as no hurry to get out for a change. You know what happened at breakfast so straight to the rest of the day. Hold on a sec, as something did happen. I had my tirst bowl of cereal for a year. Also had my second bowl.

DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness. It usually is at its worst 2 days after strenuous exercise. Judging by the groans going downhill or stairs, the climbing of Montserrat is kicking in. We went to parc guelle for a long walk through another Gaudi creation before heading off to the end of La Rambla for just one last market. The chocolate shop we have been planning on visiting, we visited. It was closed. But back to the park where the illegal stree vendors were doing their stuff until the police were spotted. Seeing them pack up and bolt was classic. Ten minutes later they were set up again. Now its back to the afternoon and a one hour wait to be seated in the Hard Rock Cafe. Then to the soccer. It was as impressive as i had hoped. Messi played and scored four times, hit the post and had one disallowed. I guess thats alright. We then got swept away in a wave of people to the metro and finally made it back. The hotel room on my side is a mess so i better start packing. Last chance shopping tomorrow morning before a couple of flights home.

The stadium is massive. Do you allremember those tiny toilets at the SCG? They had a line up of a hundred people all day. Not at Camp Nou. 24 urinals. And that was just our level in one area. What do you think Annette did as soon as we found our seats? Those of you who said she went to look for hot chocolate would be right.

Also saw the biggest vending machine i have ever seen. Probably another Gaudi.
