When in Barcelona I Day 1: La Rambla & The Magic Fountain

Sup world? Charlotte and Ranveer here and guess what?! We were just in Barcelonaaa babyyyyy!!!



This was our first ever holiday with just friends, and so of course we wanted things to go as smoothly as possible and hence have the most fun we could... It therefore didn't help when I (Charlotte) managed to almost lose my phone on the journey to Gatwick Airport in the taxi by dropping it down the side of a chair. Oh dear. 

Soon the time came to go through security, and at this point several people in our group had the sudden realisation that their plastic bags -stuffed with cosmetics and other liquids - were ever so slightly way too big. *Cough Ranveer cough cough*. With a bit of reshuffling and sharing however, it was all good and somehow the millions of liquids we had between us made it to the other side. *phew*

After those first few blips though, things seemed to go quite well, and before we knew it we were on the aeroplane and about to take off. Exciting times! We had been planning for soooo long and now it was finally happening. Us. Barcelona. Bring it on!

Upon arriving at the apartment, we couldn't help but be totally amazed. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, balconies, a kitchen, a living room, but most importantly it was real and we were all on holiday - together. Now that, that called for something special. What, you ask? SELFIESSS! Seriously, we took soooo many selfies and snapchats on this holiday it was unbelievable. And considering how many selfies we take on a normal day anyway, for us to say it was a lot... Well. You get the picture. The many, many pictures. Hehehe :3



Ok so moving on. After unpacking a few things, we decided to go explore the area and walked to la rambla in the beautiful weather. No more rainy England! To make the most of that sunshine, we just HAD to stop for ice cream. Mmmmmm it was so good... 

In the evening, we made our way to the magic fountain and it really did live up to its name. It was magicccc. Somehow we managed to get up to the very edge of the fountain and were able to watch in awe as the colours transitioned from one to another. We didn't even mind getting wet standing there - it was refreshing to get splashed as we danced around to the music, having our own mini rave. 


Eventually though, we had to drag ourselves away from it and crash in the apartment from the longggg day we had. After all, we had left at 6am to go to the airport (ugh I hate mornings) and it was now close to midnight. It was defo time to sleep and get some energy for the day out exploring tomorrow, although Ranveer did of course need her green tea first. ;)

So I'll leave it there for now, with us pushing out the zzz. We'll be back soon to tell you more about what we got up to in barca, so make sure you come back and check it out! We hope you enjoy the video, and don't forget to tell us about any holidays you've been on or if you have ever been to Barcelona!!

See you next time :) xxx
