title L'Aquarium de Barcelona, Port Vell, Catalonia, Spain - 23rd October 2017 intro The second full day of our Barcelona trip sees us visit the aquarium down at Port Vell. In the evening, the boys go for a sleep-over at Evelyn and Louise's apartment, so we get an actual night off to go out for beer and tapas. It's at the time of the Catalunyan separation bid, so all around are posters and graffiti saying things like "Hello new country" and an increased Guárdia Urbana everywhere. imgp8307 Fred's At-At is doing hand stands imgp8310 There are a lot of pro-independence flags everywhere imgp8311 The boys watch guff on TV imgp8316 A CND symbol/peace sign imgp8317 Filming outside the old Baile Apolo imgp8322 Another graffiti van imgp8323 A massive spaced brick wall imgp8324 An ode to ancient Nokia phones, in graffiti imgp8325 Lots of graffiti in a square imgp8326 More street art graffiti imgp8327 Lots of blue graffiti imgp8328 Some graffiti is painted over imgp8329 Some old dindustrial artefact imgp8334 Christopher Columbus points the way imgp8335 Boats in the marina imgp8336 An interesting floating art work, like Subbuteo imgp8337 Some Russian oligarch's mega-yacht is moored up imgp8338 Harry and Fred run around imgp8340 In the aquarium imgp8341 Stripey fish imgp8343 A grumpy fish imgp8350 A Nautilus - relative of the ancient Ammonite imgp8357 Another fish imgp8372 Multi-coloured corals imgp8378 A striking yellow fish with blue stripes imgp8382 Spiny puffer fish or something imgp8388 Someone points at a fish imgp8396 Fred and Isobel look at sea creatures imgp8398 A fish floats around imgp8400 Under the shark tunnel imgp8409 Fred pops up imgp8411 A penguin swims about imgp8413 In planeta aqua imgp8417 Jellyfish blob around imgp8421 A penguin stands around imgp8424 Some kind of poison dart frog imgp8427 An amazingly-coloured chamaeleon imgp8430 In the Planeta Aqua shop imgp8431 Fred picks a toy imgp8432 Harry looks at stuff imgp8433 Bright silvery bean-bag toys imgp8436 Outside the aquarium with Noddy and Gilly imgp8442 A large cricket on a wall imgp8443 A geodesic dome imgp8444 Reflections of the street in mirrored glass imgp8448 Noddy queues up for a hotdog imgp8452 The French-style Port of Barcelona building imgp8453 Fred gets a slushy imgp8454 Harry eats a hotdog imgp8455 A nice flower imgp8460 Fred wanders off imgp8462 A bicycle covered in leaves imgp8464 Street life imgp8466 Street scene, off Paral•lel imgp8467 We roam around past the graffiti of Paral•lel imgp8468 The Teatre Victoria imgp8470 Derelict building imgp8471 We meet up with Jen Mac and Dan imgp8473 A dog gets a drink imgp8474 Fred does some drawing outside Can Eusebio imgp8476 Louise has a Sangria slurp imgp8488 Comedy Moose art imgp8489 An idiot pigeon imgp8492 Harry runs off up the street imgp8493 Back on Nou Rambla imgp8496 Spiders and sharks, in street art imgp8497 Fred, Harry and Isobel imgp8498 A random car servicing garage on Carrer Blai imgp8501 A nice Art Deco-style light imgp8502 More dogs of Barcelona imgp8504 Fred and Harry in the apartment imgp8510 The crazy vacuum-powered lift in the apartment imgp8513 Fred's new gecko imgp8514 The coffe machine is spurting everywhere imgp8515 Isobel on the balcony, up in the trees imgp8519 Louise and Evelyn give a wave imgc8589 "Hello republic" and "hello new country" posters imgc8591 In the evening, some sort of gathering occurs imgc8594 The Guárdia Urbana come over to see what's up imgc8596 There's a police presence around imgc8597 Back on the evening streets of Barcelona imgc8600 Carrer de Blai in the evening imgc8602 Our first tapas bar for the evening - Zodiaco imgc8605 We move on for some slightly more up-market tapas imgc8610 Isobel sticks a photo on WhatsApp imgc8611 Cocktails on the bar imgc8614 Nighttime graffiti imgc8621 Jen Mac and Isobel imgc8627 Somebody adds some chalk graffiti imgc8628 Carrer de Blai is a lot quieter late at night imgc8630 We stop off in Redrum for a tasty margeurita
