Welcome to our last day in Barcelona guys, we are heading out to try some fun
things today. We want to try and see if we can find the cell phone Museum
I've heard about it but I haven't really read any reviews or anything so I don't
know what to expect but I just really love checking out these weird funky
little museums and they Morten does too so that is one thing that we really
enjoy both of us we just really think it's a lot of fun. So we're gonna do that
and then hopefully make it pass Casa Battló and go to Park Güell
We have booked a ticket to get in there at two o'clock so that's what we're gonna do today!
So let's get started, head over to the cell phone museum!
Let's do this! Let's do it!
They have a 3D virtual escape room experience in here
So Morten is gonna try it
- What are you doing babe? - Trying to pick up some sort of phone or something
- and I'm supposed to build a phone or whatever I don't know it's not working so well
- It looks funny! - Alright, so it was kind of fun to try the Oculus Rift again
it didn't work so well in this game or escape game or whatever because you
couldn't really pick up stuff you're supposed to pick up the gestures didn't
work so well but I think it's always fun to go into a 3D room and move yourself
around and just the whole feeling is still pretty new but um I can't wait
till it it gets more advanced and it'll work even better so you can actually use
it for gaming and so on. Let's move on and see what else is in here!
It's funny that you have this one on show because my mom actually had a cell phone
as one of the first people - not the suitcase kind but I was not very old so
it must have been like late 80s and this one is from '84 it might have been
the beginning of the 90s. It was a Nokia and it was huge, it was like a brick so
it's kind of it's just fun to see all the data!
They actually contacted her
years later if she still had it so they wanted to put it in their exhibit and so
- that was kind of funny! They say that cell phones have been
available for 40 years but only accessible to a lot of people the last 30 years
So that's pretty much all my life which is pretty cool!
Now we're coming up to the one that I remember, it's that one! I basically grew up with this one.
3210, it's 3210. Everyone had this one when I just moved out from home so that have been around 2000.
Everyone had these ones.1999!
I remember this period where they
were so focused on making the bigger screens and a lot of menus. The problem was
they were so hard to navigate. I could never figure out how to use these ones
so I'm pretty sure I went from that one in the beginning and then straight up to the iPhone
Uh! Is he sweet?
What a sweet boy! Uh-oh don't go that way, that's the exit! Are you chasing me?
There's no one else in here, so we're not bothering anyone, so I'm letting him run around
because it's... There's not really a lot of stuff he can touch in here
he can touch the glass and then he can climb into a chair but that's about it so it's kind of
nice to have a safe zone. He does so well when we travel it's really incredible
how well babies adapt his only struggle I think is probably
if there's a lot of heat then he get.. he doesn't like that too much
he's definitely a warm baby to begin with and he likes to get cooled down so
I think that's the only thing other than that he just does super!
So we're done checking out the cell phone museum. It wasn't so extensive. it's more like three
or four cell phones and then a lot of pictures and some video. It was fun
trying it and we just liked seeing all these little museums and every once in a
while we hit some really good ones yeah we especially like the one in Amsterdam
The Fluorescent Museum. We will link that video up here in the cards so you can check that one out.
But let's go outside find some food lunch and then move on to Casa Batlló.
Max is learning how to eat with a spoon on his own, and it's a work in
progress he's really good with his hands though so you'll see when he picks it up
Barcelona is so beautiful I love just walking around. Look at this building, isn't that incredible ?
That's Casa Batlló for you, isn't that impressive ?
I don't remember when he built it, but I really like it, it looks like fish head sculls and stuff like that.
And then with the colorful little flower jungle to pretty it up a little bit and
a big sea creature on top of the roof, it's just fascinating
I would have
loved to get into Casa batlló today but you have to reserve a place which is the
case with most of these things you'll want to get into them and they get
booked up and sold out really fast. Also, we paid to get into the Sagrada Familia
We have to pay a small fee to get into this park that we're heading to now
and we pay for the aquarium and we just don't want to pay all these entrance
fees so we want to really select what we want to really actually see and then
that's what we'll do. And then, we are pretty sure that we'll come back to Barcelona
so Casa batlló is on the list for next
time for sure because it looks so incredible on the inside on the pictures
that I've seen so...
Sometimes you just have to prioritize
Welcome to Park Güell.
It's a Gaudi park, it has been designed
by him with a lot of benches and everything a lot of things are in mosaic
- and a lot of like brick and stone sculptures and stuff - And funny shapes
- Yeah. It's basically just like a wonderland of the little pancakes houses
and stuff like. So I can't wait to check it out let's head in there
They put a cap on how many people who can be here at the same time so we had
to book a slot we got in between 2:00 and 2:30 it's a good time and I
think it's around maybe four or five hundred people that can be in the park
at the same time so it's not too crowded otherwise of course it would be so that's nice!
- I actually think that it's 400 people in a day not per hour
So it tickets are limited I'll leave a link down below to where you can get the
tickets they do booked up in the mornings because that's when it's cooler
so we didn't get those tickets we're here at two but it's fine
We're trying to bring Max's stroller up the stairs, it's stinking hot but we want to get there
I wonder what they actually make this area for because it's kind of bizarre
There's a lot of pillars everywhere. The ceiling is really cool and some of them even
have like these big hooks so it looks like you can hang chandeliers or
something it would be a really cool venue for parties and stuff.
- You could have your 40th birthday party in a few years here..
- In many years - In many years many many years
This place must be amazing in the spring when everything is bright green and you
can sit in the shade and the Sun isn't too hot
They are renovating half of this trail right now so this will be done I think
it was some six months and then they're gonna redo this part over here it's just
to do like regular upkeep so you can still enjoy the area it really doesn't
take away that much of the experience but we're gonna head on up to the palm
tree grotto area which is really cool
I love this place, I think it's one of my favorite places in this whole park I
don't know what it is about it but I just love that it's so rustic and you
have the green nature right there when you look that way. It's so raw and
fantastic and you can look under the ground like it's on the ground the
bottom part and then you can still... you still have like there's ground floor on
top of it like the earth just I love it I really don't want to be the one
responsible for placing those big rocks up here in case they fall on someone's
head if they just slide out of there it looks kind of dangerous but it also
looks really cool they have all these bonfire places along the cave.
It could be really cool to actually have bonfires during the night
The pillars over here look like tornados that just hit the ground like
We've just been chilling for a few hours back at the apartment or actually maybe
only one, showered and I just threw all the clothes in the washer and so we can dry
it tonight before we leave tomorrow so that way I don't have to do a lot of
laundry when we get back home so that's very good.
Let's head out and find some dinner
Lots of olive oil that's good
Do you think Max that you like tapas?
He's just licking off the topping!
That is one beautiful lasagna and check out my dish!
Is that insistence? I don't know what that sauce it is.. It's a little funky
It's been a really great trip to Barcelona we're so grateful that we got
to go and we just had an amazing time we both really love Barcelona it has so
much to offer and we've just been sitting out here on the little small
balcony tonight and just talking about the future and what's possible and what isn't.
And having max in our lives and everything it's just it's been the
perfect way to round off a trip. Tomorrow we head home and gonna pack up I
actually don't know right now where our next destination is gonna be but it'll
be fun to figure it out and I'm sure I'll have it to figure it out within a few weeks
We're sitting here and talking about dreams and big dreams and things
you want to accomplish so I'm just curious: what do you guys want to accomplish?
We are talking about that we paid off our debt and so now we're
starting to save up money and how we choose to invest that money is important
So do we buy a house that we invest in real estate, startups - so many options and
we don't have a lot to do anything with but it's that time for us for we have to
start thinking about it and planning and educating ourselves for the next phase
of life and that is just really exciting so I just want to hear from you guys
what are you guys dreaming about please leave it down under here in the comment
section and I would love to hear what you guys are dreaming about you if you
have any big plans or this phase of life you know that something's gonna change
you're gonna have to change your mindset or educate yourself in a certain area I
would love to hear it!
Well, that's it from me guys, give the video a thumps up
share with your friends if you like it and then we'll see you next time
Bye!
