We headed to the Museum of Catalonian Art for the day, partly because it had lots to explore, and partly because of the air conditioning! We first explored the Romanesque works, most of which were originally on the walls of churches, and had been painstakingly removed and pasted into the museum. I was fascinated by the process and the conservation work which went into this process!
We had lunch in the museum cafe (sandwiches and French pastries, of all things), and we attempted to go in the art exhibit, which was a giant white bouncy castle! Unfortunately, they had closed it for cleaning so we missed out and we were very disappointed about that!
After eating, we went to check out the modern art. It was more my style, with bits of Gaudi and Picasso thrown in amongst the other names we didn't recognise. We didn't have as much time as we would have liked, because we had to leave to get back to the hotel.
We made it safely to the airport with plenty of time, but unfortunately the flight was delayed and we took off about 40 minutes later than we were supposed to. Once we were in the air we were glad to get home - and now Australians can use the e gates so it was very quick through to the arrivals gate and the train station!
In the end, I got home around 9pm, just in time for dinner and a cuddle before bed. I was hoping for cooler weather in London, but it's having none of it with 39 tomorrow!
