After the advice, I started preparations to travel. Booked my flight from 7th September to 17th September 2022.
BARCELONA A
8TH SEPTEMBER 2022
Using KLM, I landed Barcelona on the 8th of September 2022 and I was glad , grateful and happy.
I lodged at my hostel (Air hostel) because it was close to the airport and I was going to leave for Germany the next day.
I rested a bit and then strolled out that day to view the city whilst getting something to eat. I eventually lost my way because I had no google map.
When I figured I had lost my way.
I had to eat regardless of the situation.

9th SEPTEMBER 2022
This day I was to embark on a 24hour road trip to Germany using FLIX BUS. My trip was to begin at night, so I decided to explore Barcelona city a bit.
To avoid getting lost again, I went to buy a sim card (30 Euros)
I didn’t really enjoy my vodafone sim. The network/data coverage was bad. Although, I guess it was probably the area that I stayed.
After which, I went to buy adapter because the socket plug is different from that of Nigeria ( I wasn’t too aware). Then I got my first culture shock.
After that, I found a restaurant (can’t remember the name) close to me. On the menu, “Ensalada de Arroz” (Rice Salad) caught my attention. I was happy because that was like the food I could eat after interpretation (thanks to Duolingo). I bought it as well as patatas fritas( Chips) just incase I won’t like the Ensalada de Arroz.
Then I got my second culture shock. The rice was COLD!
To my surprise, I ended up liking the food and after a while, I continued my journey touring the city.
Then I thought to go back to the very first place I stepped on when I got off the bus station from the Airport. I took couple of pictures.
I was fascinated at the way you barely walk for 1km without seeing parks for kids. To appeal to my childlike wonder, I decided to visit one of the parks and take a swing
