Barcelona, Spain
I woke up at 6:30 in the morning and an hour later I was on a bus to the airport. Barcelona, one of my all time favourites cities, is history again for now. I'll be back here at the end of February when I'll be accompanying my sister and my nephew for a three day visit, and if at all possible I'll try and come back here again this summer as well. "Again?" people will ask, and all I can reply will be "yes, again" - because I simply love this city.
The bus ride to the airport, the wait in the somewhat run down Terminal 2 for my flight (self-service restaurant in that terminal in picture above), the flight back to Amsterdam, the train back to Central Station... it all went fine, it all went smooth. I got the biggest shock of the day when I saw scaffolding in front of my building. Things were definitely moving fast, possibly moving too fast. The scaffolding is there so that repair work can be done on the roof. Because there's a green cloth on the outer side of the scaffolding, my living room has a bit of a greenish hue to it. Never mind. I just hope the scaffolding will not be there for long. For now, nothing can ruin my great post-Barcelona mood. I went out to get some groceries and didn't leave the house anymore for the rest of the day. For the first time in 9 days I shaved and that was a great feeling. Barcelona for New Year's Eve was a great idea. Well worth repeating in future years perhaps?
