The "road" looked less and less like a road. In addition to the increasingly dense branches, the ground underfoot also became steeper and softer, and one could easily lose balance if one was not careful. The entire person's feet were at a 45-degree angle, and the ankles had to exert a lot of strength. At the time, Yunluo was still wearing North Face wool hiking socks. Since it was summer, he did not wear a thin liner underneath.

The road was difficult to walk on, and Yunluo's feet were obviously the biggest victims. Due to the friction between her heels and the wool socks, she began to feel blisters forming. It was completely dark, and she felt a little nervous. The team was getting longer and longer, and she was really worried that someone would fall behind. So Yunluo and Yan Chenyu kept passing various information to the people behind them.

Be careful here, there is a pit. Note that this dead tree is unstable, hold on to it. The reason why Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not panic is that you will never get lost in a place like the lake where there is a huge reference point. As long as you make sure that the lake is always on your side, you will not lose your way.

They walked and walked, and they didn't know how long it had been. Suddenly, they heard the people behind them saw a small path, and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu walked up it. Sure enough, it was a small path, and then they led Yunluo and others to an unfamiliar camping site. When they walked onto the road and saw the road sign, they realized that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had gone in the wrong direction.

It was already 9:45, and the bar closed at 10 or 10:30, so Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu ran all the way and finally arrived at their destination. So in order to "buy the crime", Mark gave Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu a glass of whiskey, which is a very small glass of wine. It is usually very strong pure alcohol, and sometimes there are good shots of cocktails.

This was Yun Luo's first time drinking whiskey, and American shots, like everything else in the United States, were bigger than anywhere else. A shot was three times the size of a normal shot, and after drinking one, he knew where his stomach was. He felt a burning sensation all the way from his throat to the center of his stomach.

Afterwards, various people took turns to buy wine. After a few glasses of different kinds of wine, I felt warm and thought I could have a good sleep. Who knew that the Tetons were very cold at night? I was stupid enough not to wear warm clothes, and I was woken up by the cold many times in the middle of the night. I really regretted not bringing a woolen hat.

I couldn't sleep. It was cold, and I kept hearing something scratching at Yunluo's tent! So I thought, it's over! Yunluo has some cough mints on him. They're honey lemon flavored! It must be a bear. Haha. When you can't sleep, you'll have all kinds of random thoughts. The more random thoughts you have, the harder it is to sleep. Then Yunluo put on his coat, put his head in his sleeping bag, and zipped it up.

With the mentality of "I don't care, even if there is a bear, I don't care", Yunluo finally fell asleep. Cold! In the endless cold and fear, Yunluo spent his first night in Teton, and the second night of camping in his life. The next day, the sunrise came and he saw the sunshine. His heart was at peace, so he took a comfortable nap.

Afterwards, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu left the United States. They took a plane to their next destination.

The cheapest is 2 nights in Granada, 39 Euros per night, the most expensive is 2 nights in Sevilla, 100 Euros per night (just in time for the grand Sevilla April Festival). Even on par, there are often special offers for 4-star or better hotels. Just like the 60 Euros per night 4-star hotel that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu booked in Verona last time, it was absolutely worth it, but most of these special offers were for double rooms. This time when booking a hotel in Madrid, I also found a special offer for a 4-star hotel.

The location is also good, and it only costs 60 Euros, but it is still a double room. Unfortunately, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu wanted a triple room, so they could only watch the opportunity slip away. So if you are booking a hotel online, you can check it frequently, and don't just ignore it after booking all the hotels.

You may come across a star-rated hotel that offers great value someday, so you should quickly cancel your previous reservation and book the current one.

Because apart from preparing visas, booking hotels and train tickets, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu basically did no homework and bought French and Spanish LPs on Taobao.

After printing tips and guides on Qyer and Travel Around Europe, I put the trip that was more than a month away behind my mind, and I was much calmer than last time. When friends asked Yunluo how prepared he was, Yunluo always answered, "I didn't prepare anything. I'm going blind this time."

Yes, going blindly makes the journey more exciting and fresh, and also provides a good excuse for Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to be lazy in the early stages.

Barcelona is a city that is not lacking in color and imagination. Living here is an art in itself, because the artist named Gaudi has been here, and because this is Gaudi's city.

Although when talking about Barcelona, ​​many people will think of the cosmic team Barca and the Camp Nou Stadium, the tourism promotion launched by Barcelona to the world is still the "Gaudí Tour".

Camp Nou - Casa Mila - Sagrada Familia - La Rambla - Columbus Tower - Palau de la Música Catalana...

When I woke up in the morning, I found that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's hotel was at a busy intersection, and there were already all kinds of passers-by outside. There was a subway at the door of the hotel, and I could go everywhere, but I would never take the subway to a place where I could run wild. A's 10-trip subway ticket was 9.25 euros, which was nearly 3 euros cheaper than Paris, which showed how low the prices in Spain were.

The hotel is close to the Camp Nou Stadium, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu’s trip to Barcelona started from Camp Nou.

Walking from the hotel, I passed by at least 3 supermarkets and 3 fruit and vegetable stores. I felt relieved and didn't have to worry about supplies for the next two days. From the outside, Camp Nou is an unremarkable and not beautiful stadium.

Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu were not Barcelona fans. Yan Chenyu even had some dislike for this "La Masia Film and Television Academy Team", but since they were here, they had to go in and take a look. The gate outside the stadium opened at 10 o'clock, and before it opened, a large number of fans and tourists had already gathered here. Compared with San Siro, one had to admire their business philosophy.

I didn't pay to enter the stadium, I just went to the Barcelona store. There are two floors, the goods are very complete, there is nothing they don't sell, only what you can't think of. I thought of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's San Siro and AC Milan, alas.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu would not spend a penny here. I brought a scarf back for my sister, 13.9 euros. Look, there are more than ten styles of scarves.

More and more fans rushed to Campo de Joaquí to make a pilgrimage to the holy place in their hearts. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu left at the right time, thinking of Milan, which was not far away... From Campo de Joaquí, they took the subway to the first stop of Gaudi's tour: Casa Milà.

The ticket price was 16 Euros. When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu arrived there, it was probably the peak time of the day. The long queue for tickets scared them away and they simply gave up entering. Later, they also gave up entering the Barlotte Apartment due to time constraints.

Casa Mila (Casamila) was built between 1906 and 1912 and is located on Passeig de Gracia in the Eixample expansion area of ​​Barcelona, ​​Spain.

It was designed by Gaudi for the wedding of the wealthy Mr. Mila.

Casa Milà is the last private residence designed by Gaudi, covering an area of ​​1,323 square meters, with 33 balconies, 150 windows, 3 atriums (2 large atriums and 1 small patio), 6 residential floors, 1 top floor (attic), 1 underground parking lot, and 3 facades. There are two main entrances, one on Passeig de Gracia.

One is on Probanza Street (provena). The wavy appearance of Casa Mila is composed of white stone walls, balcony railings made of twisted iron bars and iron plates, and large windows, which can give full play to one's imagination. Some people think it is like a cave-like residence built by African natives on a steep cliff.

Some people think it looks like ocean waves, some think it looks like a beach after low tide, some think it looks like honeycomb tissue, some think it looks like waves made up of lava, some think it looks like a snake cave, some think it looks like sand dunes, some think it looks like a parasite's nest, and so on.

After you have admired all the works of Gaudi in Barcelona, ​​you will find that everything designed by this old man is in the same style - like buildings in dreams or cartoons, in short, far from reality.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It is worth mentioning the warm weather in Spain. Perhaps the spring in France was too unexpected for Yunluo. It was only when he arrived in Spain that he felt the warmth of spring. At noon, he could even feel the enthusiasm of early summer.

The sun is very strong, so sunscreen is essential. In order to save a subway ride, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu rushed from Casa Mila to Sagrada Familia. The sunny streets are more Spanish.

The road from Casa Mila to Sagrada Familia was not smooth, but when Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were standing on the street in confusion, someone would enthusiastically say "I help you?" So Yunluo and Yan Chenyu finally saw Sagrada Familia after turning a corner.

The first time he saw her, Yun Luo couldn't describe his feelings. The spire that reached the sky seemed to have taken Yun Luo's heart to the sky. Just looking at it from a distance, he was already shocked. It was hard to imagine how great the Sagrada Familia Cathedral would be when it was successfully completed in a few decades.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not plan to appreciate the Sagrada Familia Cathedral today. They planned to give her the whole morning tomorrow. Besides, it would take at least an hour to queue up for tickets at this time. Instead of being exposed to the sun, it would be better to come early tomorrow morning. Today, just treat it as a warm-up.

From the Sagrada Familia, we continued walking to Casa Batlló. The ticket price was 18.5 euros. The ticket office was empty, but since I didn't know how to appreciate it, I didn't waste the money.

The Ballot Apartments are located in the famous Discordant neighborhood of Barcelona. The reason why it is called the Discordant neighborhood is not because of the security issues here, but because it gathers three works of the three most famous modernist architectural masters, Gaudi, Domenico and Puig.

The so-called disharmony does not mean that the three buildings are not harmonious when put together, but that they have completely different modernist architectural styles. Casa Batlló is a well-known masterpiece of Gaudi. This building, which consists of mask-like balconies, bone-like thin columns, and a roof with a dragon circling around it, looks particularly strange and fascinating under the lights at night.

I really admire Gaudi for being able to design an apartment that should have been monotonous and boring to be as lively and inspiring as the buildings in cartoons. It was also from his works that Yunluo realized the beauty of Spanish architecture. During the days in Spain, even if you leave Gaudi's city, even if it is just a small town that cannot be called a city, it is rare to see two identical buildings standing side by side.

Perhaps because of the warm Mediterranean sunshine, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's lunch time was delayed to 2pm like the Spanish. After running for most of the day, they remembered that it was time to fill their stomachs. On the way from the Ballot Apartment to Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, they randomly found a restaurant.

When you arrive in Spain, the signature dish of paella is as common as kebabs and ramen in Beijing. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You have to try it at least once. The meal time in Spain seems to be later than in other European countries. Lunch starts slowly at 2 o'clock, and many restaurants open at night have a peak dinner time at 9 or 10 o'clock.

There are pictures of pealla of various flavors on the sign of every restaurant. Many people think that this word means seafood paella. In fact, pealla refers to a two-handled frying pan made of cast iron. It looks flat and black, and comes in different sizes. It is filled with risotto. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu usually think it is seafood paella.

In fact, in Spain, the ingredients are determined by different regions. Chicken, duck, fish, rabbit and even snails can be used as ingredients. The rice in pealla is mostly curry-colored because a small amount of saffron is added to it. This spice is expensive, but a small amount can dye the rice beautifully and make it fragrant.
