And since we’ve seen each other one week basically just in snowboarding gear or really comfortable clothes, we had kind of a gala dinner on the last evening.

That’s where we got pulled over the other night. We ended up left of the white solid line while driving up to Red Square. Bastards pulled us over even though we realized our mistake after a few meters.

Crappy weather in Basel.

Barcelona, way better.#4 Barcelona Airport.#5

Mick totally jetlagged, no wonder since he came from LA.

#6 They did have some kind of festival going on, musicians all over the city and old people dancing on the streets. Pretty awesome. #7 #8 Those were awesome musicians, a didgeridoo mixed with percussion and techno / trance whatever.#9Barcelona’s version of a dildo Skyscraper. #10#11#12 A literally crappy car.

#39 #40#41 #42 #43I don’t know who did this, but it looks hilarious.

Since i do not have any pictures of that situation i have to tell it. To be honest, I never thought that I’d see something like that in real live.

We went to park Guell, built by the famous architect Gaudi. The entrance we approached was closed due to some renovation work in that area of the park. But it wasn’t much of a problem since some people tore down the barrier tape. So all the tourists were getting up the hill until being faced with a big fence. Luckily there was already a hole in it so one could crouch through there into the park.

So then there were those retired American tourists also crouching through there. As the first woman got through there she wanted to take pictures of her friends crouching through the hole in the fence. But she did have quite some problems taking them, at one point she even thought the batteries might be empty.

So when i finally got through the fence she was still trying to figure out what’s wrong with her camera. “Oh thank you, that’s why it was so dark.” was the answer I got when I told her that she may want to take the lens cap off…#44 #45 #46 Prettiest pigeon I’ve seen so far.#47 #48 #49Some were a bit tired after the last two short nights.

Because only Barcelona would have been a bit boring, we did a daytrip to Girona which is a bit north up the coast. It does have a really beautiful old town, even though i don’t have many pictures of it.#50For a long time it was populated by the Moors, oh sorry, the Moops ;) #51 It’s really nice when sights like a old tower has penises drawn all over the place.

#52 #53#54 This one and the next two pictures are hipshots because there was a no photo policy in that cathedral and they were pretty strict about it.#55 #56 The cathedral in Girona does have the widest nave in the Christian world. It’s almost 24m long. One feels so tiny in that huge room.#57 #58 #59 #60 #61 I really like the idea of exhibiting pictures like that on the outside.#62 #63 #64 #65 #66 #67 #68 #69 On the way back it was a little bit full. #70 #71Hehe, Karolina, where’s your robot?

#72 #73#74 The last night in Barcelona, Poker night.#75Landing in Basel, kind of a nice welcoming screen.

Look at the addresses mentioned…

Thanks for stopping by.
