What a very long day!
As day 3 commenced pupils and staff were excited at the prospect of seeing more of attractions that Barcelona had to offer.
The day began with a quick trip on the Metro train service to Sagrada Familiar, our group booking was later then desired so we had the opportunity to visit the location shops and eat some food as the day ahead was jam packed.
After taking in the breath taking architecture of the famous church and experiencing the enormous church from within it's wall the students were taken to the next stage of their trip. From there we proceeded to make our way to the Miro Foundation and experience the world of modern art. Once the pupils had discussed the merits of what constituted art to them the party had the exciting prospect of seeing the city from above during a cable car ride to the beach.
With time up against us and the heat still in the 30's we quickly moved from the beach to the Barcelona Aquarium were we settled down for some food before entering the Aquarium itself.
The pupils enjoyed the opportunity to see many variations of sea creatures with a guest appearance of a 'Little Yellow Fish'! Lucky for us the daylight was still making the idea of visited the beach for a longer period an attractive prospect. Once there the pupils enjoyed some free time, sunbathing, socialising and playing either Football or Frisbee.
As the daylight dwindled we headed back across the city to our hotel, with weary legs and heads widely seen the pupils still managed to smile and we all look forward to tomorrow's adventures at Port Aventura theme park.
