Vacation 2016 - Day 9, The Day-Trip to Barcelona, Part 2

Next stop was La Sagrada Familia.

Sadly, we should have bought tickets online, as the admission was closed for non-ticket holders when we got there, but I took the opportunity to take same photos of the outside.

Hopefully, next time we visit, the construction of the cathedral will be complete, and we shall get inside to marvel at Gaudi's weird architecture.

Of course, we had to capture the moment when we were there.

The last mandatory stop on the bucket list: The Rambla.

The famous market at the Rambla:

Plaça de Catalunya.

Vacation 2016 - Day 9, The Day-Trip to Barcelona, Part 1

We took the coast train from Malgrat de Mar to Barcelona in the morning, to avoid traffic and parking issues, but I really cannot recommend it - it is a trip of about 50 km., and it takes about three times as long as travelling by train from Svendborg to Odense, in a stuffed train with no air-conditioning.

We were pretty boiled, when we arrived in Barcelona, and had to stay a bit in the relative coolness of the station, re-hydrate, and orientate us regarding getting to our planned destinations.

After a while, we startted walking through the city, staying in the shadows as much as possible, taking small breaks to eat and drink when getting the opportunity.

Some pines and palm trees - and a good impression of the hotness.

Our first destination can be spotted in this photo.

Here we are a bit closer.

I think you may have guessed by now...

I could not visit Barcelona without without also seeing the home of one of the really great European football clubs.

I forgot to turn on the flash - but this is my family in Camp Nou.

Now follows a series of photos from the trophy exhibition.

The stairs down to the collectibles/memorabilia store. Their prices are too steep for my wallet...

Couple of last views when leaving Camp Nou.

Vacation 2016 - Day 7, Part 16: Cap de Creus, Part D - And a Cosy Evening

Alas, no gaming today, as I had to drive Anna from Svendborg to Odense for an appointment with the prosthetist, then from Odense to Ringe for a rehab session with her physiotherapist. All in all I was away from home from 10:45 to 14:45, so upon returning home, we sat down and watched a movie.

So, instead of a game report, I here present the last photos from our trip to Cap de Creus:

Coming down from the mountains, with a view over Cadaqués
(I think, could be Port Lligat)

And, finally, the family was relaxing at the campíng site. After a very hot day, it was nice to sit in the relative coolnes after dark!

Vacation 2016 - Day 7, Part 15: Cap de Creus, Part E

Another batch of piccies from Cap de Creus. I apologize for the repetitive use of the same motives, but I am not likely to get the opportunity of another photo-session in that area any time soon.

The following pictures were taken on the road back down from the cape.
