Barcelona: Montjuic Cable Car 1

Описание: "Well, here we are at the Teleferic, waiting to go to Montjuic, I think that's the pronunciation, and it's taken us an hour waiting in the queue to get here. And we're at the top of the tower, and we are off!
As you see, if I sweep round, it's quite crowded in here. And we're off.
If I come in, you'll see the Tower of Columbus
You can see the new bridge and walkway that runs from near the Columbus Tower to a huge shopping mall. Notice you can't get from there to the Teleferic station of Barcelona.
This is the cruise terminal.
This cable car was built for the 1929 Exhibition.
You used to be able to stop here, so you could have a walk round, but this tower is now closed, so you can't come up. Pity,
Anyway, here we are. Oh, bit of a bump there. Well, we're going towards the edge here -' I think it's coming off the rails, we're all going to die! Oh no, my mistake, we're safe, I think.'
However, it is quite a long way down there.
Now there are the aptly called three chimneys. They used to be part of a factory, they left them up. They look like one from here, but you'll have to take my word for it, there are three.
Here's Barcelona, and up there, there's another tower, built by Norman Foster.
Down here the yellow vans of the Post or Correos - yellow seems to be the colour, Germany has yellow as well, I like the horn on the German ones.
Well, here is the Hotel Miramar, and the final station Mirador. The castle is up there, you might just be able to see the tower on the left.
Anyway, that was it, 1.3 km, quite a thrill, really. Helen's snapping away frantically, I'll close now and show you the view - the famous view - from the top.

Well, there goes the cable car, and we're near the door...actually, we're at the Mirador Restaurant, because I fancied a 'bocadillo con queso' and a drink.
It's quite pleasant here, not crowded either and catered by mandarin chineses, we makes me feel a bit at home. Here's a sweep round.
We're sitting on the sea side, for which you pay approximately one euro more a dish for the privilege of not sitting overlooking the city.
Well, there we are. A worthwhile experience, but watch out for those queues. I was told that it opens at eleven, and that's a good time to go because there are no people there."
