Well I'm back on English soil after spending a week in Barcelona, I had a good time. Along with going to the Picasso and Dali museum, me and my family went around the city, got lost (according to maps and taxi drivers, our hotel doesn't exist, but the internet shows it does), swam in what was the Olympic swimming pool, went bowling, played in the arcades and all the things tourists do on a holiday.

Despite having over 50 Euros I didn't buy any games, but I did get something game related.

Yep, I'm a big Knuckles fan, I may not get Knuckles Chaotix for the 32X but I will buy anything that has Knuckles on it.

and that wasn't the only thing, read on to see what else is in this entry.

This was at the airport, one of those competitions where you could win a sports car. I was told I could have a picture in the display one for just 5 Euros, so I paid him. This may be the only time I'll be sitting in a Ferrari for some time. This is also the first time you'll see my face so hey there!

Sadly it was closed, but looking through the windows it looked exactly like what people said Gamestop is like.

This is a Sonic plushie dated 1993 and was made by Dakin. I got it for 30p and it goes perfect with my Knuckles plushie (well...almost giving the size)

I never thought I would find one of these but I've got a new E-reader card for my E-Reader collection. I've been incredibly lazy with this because I got my E-Reader with 138 individual cards that included all 13 NES games and all but the Walmart and the Pack in SMA4: SMB3 cards. I might try and find more since finding this one. I paid 1 for this along with 9 other Pokemon cards to help my sister's card collection.
