Here it is, I would like the Harry Winston Micro Pave Cushion Cut Ring with an Aquamarine centre stone. (and yes I photoshopped it blue)
Today we are catching a plane from Barcelona, Spain to Luton Airport, London! We checked out of our hotel at 8.30am! Very sad to go!! Brilliant hotel and will be recommending it to everyone! I am so glad that I whinged to Robert and made he booked this hotel! He was glad too! We had full buffet breakfast daily, we put our laundry out to be washed and returned and we asked reception to book tours, language assistance and change currency!!!! They were excellent! We gave Rebecca a tip!
We caught the aerobus from outside our hotel and it took us direct to the airport! The plane was on time and we took off! We actually managed to catch some Z’s on the flight! We then landed in Luton at 12.20pm.
We caught the train from Luton to home, which was a bad idea again!! It just to hard to pull your suitcase through those tunnels with heaps of stairs! (Although lots of people in London did help me!! Nice strong men!! I just stood at the base of the stairs and pouted and they came running!!!!!! True story.) The train was bloody expensive!!! £35.20 together!!!! More then a bloody cab! But it was too late to book one!
We made it home, to be greeted by Krystle, Neil, Luke and Agi.
Later on Neil and Krystle took us for a drive to Hamstead Heath Park. We drove down The Bishops Avenue! The Bishops Avenue in the London Borough of Barnet is one of London's most exclusive residential thoroughfares. It is named after the Bishops Wood through which it runs, originally owned by the Bishop of London. The road connects the north side of Hampstead Heath at Hampstead Lane to East Finchley and is on the boundary of the Borough to the London Borough of Haringey.
The road is a favourite with the international ultra-rich and is often referred to by its nickname of "Billionaire's Row" and each property occupies a 2-3 acre plot, which is relatively palatial for London.
We drove past the house that sold for £41 million!!! Do you remember that a couple years back??? It’s called “The Royal Mansion”. It didn’t wow us that much. There were other houses in the street that wowed us more. There were Rolls Royces going down the street and Bentleys!
So we parked in the street and walked to the park.
A section of Notting Hill was filmed in this park.
Here are some pictures taken in park.



Can you see the squirrel? 

Then we stayed in and played Wii till the wee hours of the night!!!
Today was hilarious!!! We hired this little car which looked like Brum Link Here, remember Brum?????? come on?
Anyway we saw one parked the other day and Robert wanted to hire one for a day because he is so sick of walking! At first I was "No way in the world are we getting in that!!!" For 2 reasons! First of all! We would like ridiculous in it! and secondly because we are in a foreign country driving on the other side of the road in a little car!!!
But then, I knew he really wanted to do it and I saw a chick driving one solo, so I though ahhh what the hay, we will just do it. I was also sick of walking to!
So, this morning Robert went and grabbed the car to picked me up as I was waiting on the other side of the street with all our junk that we wanted to take today!! And I witnessed the funniest site in the whole world today!!!! This little yellow car emerging from the traffic with Robert's little head bopping up and down with a silly helmet on!!! and he had this grin on his face like it was his birthday!!!!!! Then I started to get scared and embarrassed!!! It was the most stupid little car ever!!!! and to think I would spend the whole day in this little death trap!!!!
We took off to get to Barcelona Nou Stadium for more info click here! We had to go up Avenue Diagonal and on the second round-a-bout take a left and we would arrive shortly!!!! So the first round-a-bout came and we had to retrain the brain to ensure we went around it lawfully! We did that with out a hitch! But then the second round-a-bout never came................ and we somehow made it on to the free way in this stupid little car that isn't allowed to go on it!!! The max speed of the Go Car is only 60km/hr and the speed limit is 80!! We started to panic and the first exit seemed ages away!!!
Anyway we made it off and I attempted to direct Robert using the map however he kept missing streets, because he would turn right, but go to far because he wanted to go in to the left side! It made it quite difficult! He was getting frustrated and was angry at me because I wasn't being serious! I would try to rectify the situation and pay attention to street signs but I would just glance up at his silly little head in the helmet and would burst out laughing loudly!! It was such a funny site!!!! and it would just make him more agitated!
We finally made it there and parked the car in scooter parking spots! We were standing next to our parked Go Car and this f**ked Spanish family jumped in it!!! Like fair dinkum!! I am not exaggerating!!! We were right next to it! The dad sat in the drivers seat and the 2 daughters jumped on the boot and the Mum was snapping photos!!!!! "Ummm like are you alright????? This is our car you losers!!!"
We went to the Barcelona Mega Store and bought the MESSI 19 Away Jersey and then walked onto the overpass which leads to the stadium and museum. We were waiting for the players to leave the underground parking lot as they had just completed their training session for the day, we kept glancing at our little car and all day long people were jumping into it, taking photos and laughing!!!!!
This is the new Audi R8 which was in the car park:
Finally it was time for us to start our Tour so we went into the museum and checked out all the pieces of history dating back to 1899 when the club was first founded. The pictures below show the changes over the years in jersey, boots and ball, boy has it changed.






Next was a tour around the stadium itself and damn its massive once your inside, from the outside it doesn't look that big as the field is sunken below ground level. We went past the anti-doping & change rooms and then down to the referee/coaches boxes. We also went through some member boxes and the the press boxes. If your wondering what Més Que Un Club means its More Than A Club.
Some more Nou Camp Pics:






We went back to Sagrada Familia because our tour didn't take us inside!
Here are some pictures!




Here is us from the top! - They put 2 lifts inside!! Its 90 metres up
We then went to drop the car back!
Here is a picture of the car in the place we picked it up

Here is a movie of Robert driving the car!!! Looking how funny he looks!!! So adorable!!!
Most of the morning I felt uneasy and embarrassed but by the end of it, it was hillarious!! We had heaps of fun!
