Good morning Barcelona

The second day Sheldon woke up at 4am!!! Thanks to Jetlag. While the daddy slept somemore, I had to stay awake til he fell asleep again at 6 and all of us woke up again at 830am. Haha.. 

But it was all good. We planned to walk all the way from Llacuna area to Selva Del Mar to have breakfast at Kata restaurant where there is a conveyor belt buffet.

But Alas, no tapas buffet at 1030 am. Only baguettes., bleah, enough breakfast baguettes for me. I think the Spaniards need to expand their breakfast menu. We have to come back at 1 pm to enjoy the €11 tapas buffet. 

So we looked for a simple cafe to have quick breakfast before we go outlet shopping. 

Cafeteria Status' Food was absolutely horrible. A spanish cafe serving Spanish greasy meals, manned by 2 Chinese ladies. I was so tempted to ask her if they have soup noodle or something Chinese.

I always carry Sheldon's food around so he doesn't have to eat the greasy foods outside, he had fruit puree and cereals.

By the way, a little off tangent- the rubbish bins in Barca are so huge! They have a paddle to open the cover that's cool. But I guess this is because they don't have chute system, so all the apartment occupants have to throw their rubbish outside on the pavements.

Back to Barca, after the greasy bfast, we headed to Selva Del Mar tram station, along the way I found buildings that reminded me of home.

Haha.

The tram trip to Glories was really short, maybe about 7-10 mins? And then we took the metro from Glories to Fabra I Fuig, another 10 mins ish, where the Heron City Outlets are.

This is the first and only outlet shopping centre in Barcelona city. The proper and famous one La Roca Village is a bit of a drive away from Barca. We will be going there too next week.

The Mango, Pull&Bear and desigual outlets were too irresistible.

I have been eyeing Desigual skirts for S$100 plus back home, its only €34 here plus I still can claim VAT. So I couldn't resist.

MNG and Pull and bear weren't too shabby too. Hubby bought a couple of comfy T shirts from Pull&Bear for just €5.99.

Wow almost Primark prices haha.

There were other brands too. But we weren't so keen and we were rushing to go back to Kata restaurant before they close at 4pm.

Kata didn't disappoint us too badly.

Variety was ok, very value for money and desserts were delectable.

The butter chicken rice was not eventful, noone can do rice like the Chinese that's for sure.

But thr Veg lasagne, croquettes, potato gratin and grilled fish were decent.

Anyhow we had food comma afterwards.

We went back to nap as many shops also took a nap in the afternoon. They  call it siesta and it's like a nation wide culture. Aiyoh, so good life. These angmohs wont survive working in Asia! We open morning, close late night. What siesta.
