2018-07-14, Vacation 2018 - Day 5, Part 1: Over the Hills and O'er the Main ...

 ... but not through Portugal and Spain.

From Brügge we took the coastal road until after Dunkerque (I had hoped that there would be some signs pointing to the beaches from where the BEF was evacuated, but, nope ...).

Lots of photos taken by Anna (I think) from the backseat.

We passed the Nieuwpoort Monument.

About this time, we encountered a series of roadside signs that made me deviate from Gurli's (our Garmin) plotted route. More about that in the next Vacation 2018 post.

2017-07-05, Vacation 2017, Day 2: Vimmerby

As soon as we had checked in at Björkbackens Camping on the outskirts of Vimmerby, we drove into town to have a look around.

We parked not for from Vimmerby Church (where Astrid Lindgren is buried), walked right past it to the central square where something vaguely reminded us of that famous author's writings. 😏

Below you can see Anna and Lea having fun with a mini verion of a farm house from 'All of Us Children in Bulderby'.

Furtjher down is the Town Hall with the tourist office, and my family playing around with the bronze memorial to Astrid Lindgren aæso situated in the town square.

Back at the camping site, we set up for outdoor supper.

We had a rather rainy night, but slept safely in the camping trailer. We even had the electrical heater on, as summer nights in Småland are not all that hot.

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.
