Another thing to get used to is how late people eat in Barcelona. Coming from The Bahamas and before that Holland, in both of those countries you eat your evening meal reasonably early say around 7 or 8pm. Not in Barcelona though, last weekend was a friends brithday so we where going out to celebrate with a nice meal followed by a few drinks.


We didn't even leave the house to go to the restaurant untill 9.30pm - but before we got there we had to stop at a very nice little bar just to have a drink untill out table was ready at 10.30pm. By this time I was getting a bit hungry and telling myself to remember that I have to eat before I go out in future (that dosen't make any sense to me as it means I will be eating 4 meals a day instead of 3). Anyway the restaurant was great the food was wonderfull, I had forgotten my Catalan dictionary but who cares each course was an adventure.


Afterwards we went onto another bar, where we may have had a few more drinks - I think I must have been abducted by aliens at some point as we didn't get home untill around 4am, and i'm sure i've lost some hours somewhere.


The point is that even at 4am the place was heaving and people where still coming in - we really looked like drunken old fogies leaving soo early. My friends and I decided that we are going to go into training so we can do like (some) of the locals - and stop for breakfast on out way home from a night out !!
