Dame about the 'dam

Continuing my winter travels I arrived in Amsterdam, I've never been to The Netherlands before and had heard many a good thing - I was not disappointed.

It's almost like a toy town with it's winding canals, quirky narrow houses and precarious staircases, very picturesque!

I have never seen so many bikes in my entire life - not a bike helmet in sight right enough!

Bird about Barca

I was lucky enough to take a second trip to Barcelona in October, muy bien!

I love this city, it has everything, rolling hills, sandy beaches and a cosmopolitan city feel. The architecture is magnificent, Gaudi's gothic-fairytale-tinged genius can be seen throughout the city, Sagrada Familia is a masterpiece, attention to detail was Gaudi's forte, the design is so intricate it is still not complete some 120 years after construction started, manana...

Many cervezas were consumed and tapas tasted. Can't wait to go back!
