    Abreise

    21 aprile, Spagna ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    Gegen 23:30Uhr war ich schließlich im Bett. Um 3:00Uhr klingelte aber bereits schon wieder der Wecker.

    Mit meinen vorbestellten Taxi hat alles super geklappt und so war ich zügig am Flughafen.

    Eine tolle Reise endet mit der aufgehenden Sonne hoch oben über den Wolken. Erst gehts nach Barcelona, dann nach Berlin und schließlich zurück nach Dresden.    Leggi altro

    Durch die Pyrenäen.

    20 aprile, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

    Was für ein Tag!!!
    Musste ich auf dem Hinweg die Pyrenäen wegen schlechtem Wetter umfahren, ging es heute mitten durch und oben drüber und das ganze bei Kaiserwetter. Heute war es nicht nur das Fahren und die Kurven, heute war es noch mehr die Landschaft die faszinierte. Auch wenn die angehängten Bilder niemals die Eindrücke und Weite wiedergeben können, so lassen sie es vielleicht wenigstens ein wenig erahnen.
    In den Pyrenäen ging es dann auf ca. 2000m.
    Die Stangen, die den Schneeflugfahrern die Straßenbegrenzung zeigen sollten waren bis zu 3,5m hoch und ließen erahnen, wieviel Schnee hier im Winter liegt. Bei Temperaturen um 5 Grad war ich mal wieder sehr froh mit der BMW unterwegs zu sein. In einem Skigebiet lag noch so viel Schnee auf den Pisten, dass das Skifahren möglich gewesen wäre und Snowboards auf Autodächern ließen vermuten, dass auch irgendwo in der Nähe, Lifte in Betrieb seien.
    Sogar Neuschnee war stellenweise noch zu finden.
    Irgendwann steuerte ich dann im Laufe des Nachmittags einen kleinen Ort an, dessen Campingplatz recht gut bewertet war. Ein Schild am Ortseingang warb stolz für den Ort mit seinen 4 Hotels und 17 Restaurants. Klingt doch vielversprechend.
    Machen wir es kurz.
    Die Rezeption am Campingplatz hatte geschlossen, was mich nicht davon abhielt mein Zelt im einsetzenden Regen aufzubauen.
    Von den vielen Restaurants fand ich zwei geöffnete. Eine super Pizzeria, die nicht nur spitzen Bewertungen hatte, aber für heute Abend ausgebucht war und ein Vietnamesisches Restaurant mit ausschließlich französischer Karte, wozu mir der Mut, bzw. die Lust auf Abenteuer fehlte. Also ging es in eine Bar, in der ich von den Berufstrinkern freundlich begrüßt wurde um dort zwei Bier zu trinken um mich anschließend wieder an meinem "Verpflegungskoffer" mit dem Baguett und dem Käse zu vergehen.

    Sagrada Familia

    11 aprile, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Die Sagrada Familia. Ein eindeutiges Must Do in Barcelona.
    Nachdem wir sie von außen schon betrachtet haben und die immernoch andauernden Bauarbeiten machten wir uns daran Online Karten zu kaufen.
    Allerdings waren diese erst ab Dienstag wieder verfügbar.
    Mit dem Gedanken daran den Rundgang verschieben zu müssen, gingen wir noch zur Touristinfo, um Karten zu kaufen für Dienstag.
    Auf die Frage nach den Schwerbehindertenrabatten wurden wir darauf verwiesen, dass wir in dem Fall schon heute kostenlos die Basilika betrachten können.

    Unverhofft kommt oft und so bestaunen und bewundern wir die modernistische Kunst von Gaudi, in der vom großen Ganzen bis ins kleinste Detail eine Bedeutung zu finden ist.    Leggi altro

    Park Guell

    31 marzo, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Park Guell was designed to be an affluent neighborhood up on the mountain in Barcelona in the early 1900's. It was a flop because of it being too far away from the city center and not easy to get to. It's architecture was designed by Gaudi and Guell. 2 houses were built, one which was occupied by Gaudi and the other by his attorney. The beautifully designed potential neighborhood was eventually declared a public parkLeggi altro

    The trip from Barcelona to Rome

    31 marzo, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    After spending our last day in Barcelona, we boarded a ferry to head to Italy. the ferry was a different kind of trip. we had a very small room with a bathroom and shower with one hand towel and one bath towel between the two of us. the ferry allowed dogs, so that was fun. most of the people on the ferry were 18 year old kids on a school trip. I think they stayed up and partied.

    The second day is where life got exciting. they kicked us out of our room two hours before the cruise end ended. then the ship was about an hour late getting into Port. we planned on an uber to Rome even though the uber was going to be 140 dollars we tried but they had nothing available so we jumped on a city bus that got us to a 10 minute walk from a train station we missed the first train we paid for, but we made the second one we paid for. that got us to a bus that got us to 15 minutes from the hotel. we got there after midnight, but we're safe and sound and woke up the next day to have a great Italian meal and recover from the day before.

    Biking and churches and concerts oh my

    22 marzo, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    Our hotel offers free bikes and far be it from me to deny my Jewish heritage and to say no:) Seems rude. 😂 We absolutely loved riding around Barcelona and couldn’t help but smile and feel overly happy. Stacy later told me that she felt the same way. Barcelona is super biker friendly, they even have lights at the stoplights for the bikes.

    We rode out to Barceloneta which has a great beach where you can watch surfers give it a go. The walkway for the beach was absolutely mobbed with people and cycling was hazardous at best. We then rode towards El Born, which is a trendy area. It has a labyrinth of alleys with never ending shops and restaurants offering tapas and spirits.

    We then rode to Sagrada Familia, which is an amazingly beautiful church that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by Gaudì and he worked on it until his dying days. In fact, design and construction didn’t begin until 1882 and Gaudi died in 1926. The church isn’t set to be completed until 2026. Gaudi finished his design before his death so that future generations could complete it. It has 18 spires signifying the 12 apostles, the four Evangelists, the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ.

    We also visited Casa Batllo, which is yet another Gaudi designed house, this is the dragon house, for a night visit and concert on the roof. This house is my favorite of all his designs. The amount of thought that is put into his work is overwhelming. Every room, door knob, or wall you walk by has its own intent.

    The theme is nature, with some of the room’s ceilings appearing to be the rib cage of a whale, or a whirlpool surrounding the chandelier, even windows designed like turtle shells. Everything is a wonder and awe inspiring.

    While waiting to go to the roof for our concert, the doors were shut and a large crowd started to gather and wait. One of the women waiting next to us asked Stacy in Spanish what was happening, Stacy being the linguist she is, promptly told the lady in Spanish that she was waiting for a man😂. The lady looked at her bewildered and then started laughing hysterically to the point of tears. She didn’t ask Stacy any more questions.    Leggi altro

    Barcelona

    21 marzo, Spagna ⋅ 🌧 57 °F

    Our plane from Santiago to Barcelona was delayed by eight and a half hours. We were supposed to leave at 6pm, fly through the night and then arrive in Barcelona during the day; instead, we left at 2:30am, flew through the day and arrived late at night. We lost a day in Barcelona, but sometimes, so goes travel.

    Shocking to no one who follows us, we did a walking tour today. I already like Barcelona a lot. It has a great energy about it, it’s super lively with coffee shops and restaurants filled to the brim day and night. Seemingly every turn there is a little cubbyhole of a restaurant that is jam packed both inside and out. There are bike lanes that seem to parallel all the roads, and I almost always forget to look for them in addition to the cars.

    We walked around part of the Old City today, with its Gothic style buildings mixed in between modern European architecture. They blend so well that one could think they intentionally designed the city to be a blend of both their past and future. We went to the main palace (famous for where the inquisition happened) where Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand wanted to bring their divided country together.

    To do so, they wanted to unite their country around religion, Catholicism. Those who were Catholic could stay and those who were not had to go or be converted, we all know how. Then we learned about St Jordi (George).

    Once upon a time a fearsome dragon was terrifying the inhabitants of a small town in Catalonia called Montblanc.

    So, to soothe the dragon's anger, the town's inhabitants decided they would sacrifice someone every day, drawing lots to see who they would offer as a token of their good will.

    One day, it was the turn of the king's daughter to be sacrificed. But, just when the dragon was about to gobble her up, a handsome knight appeared and confronted the beast. This was Sant Jordi (St George). He drove his lance into the dragon and a bush of red roses sprang out of the blood that spilled.

    Love these kind of hero stories and apparently so did Antoni Gaudì. Casa Batllo is designed around this Catalonian mythology. The shingles of the building are designed to look like the dragon’s back, while what looks like a cross on the left is the hilt of St Jordi’s sword piercing into the dragon’s heart.

    The balconies are all set to look like the skeletons of all the dragon’s victims and below that is supposed to be the pile of bones upon which the dragon rests. The upper most balcony with all the blue coming down from it is supposed to be the dragon’s blood that created the rose bushes which St Jordi gave to the princess. Undoubtedly they lived happily ever after.

    We then took a metro to get to our next location. When it was time to get off the train, Stacy got nervous that we weren’t going to be able to get off with our group because the train was so crowded and instead ran for a different door, never once thinking to take her husband along too:) I was able to get off the train but guess when they say it’s every man for himself, that’s only because all the women have already left 😂    Leggi altro

    Barcelona!!

    8 marzo, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Spent a couple nights in Barcelona and I got to see Soph! It was such a good trip. The weather wasn’t so great but we choose to ignore that! We crammed in as much as possible. Saw Sagrada Familia which still doesn't compare to any church I have seen. It is the most amazing thing. We walked all day in order to not spend money on transportation and I think we got almost 40,000 steps. We went to Park Guell and saw some Gaudi houses. Gaudi is simply one of the best artists ever. Although I'll never get sick of Renaissance art in Florence, it was a great break. We tried Spanish churros, tacos, paella, and fruit juice at one of the markets in the city center.Leggi altro

    Overnight Barcelona Tag 2

    7 marzo, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    ...die Nacht war so lala...immer in Gedanken vielleicht bringt der Taxifahrer ja doch noch das Handy zurück....nix is.

    Am Mittag kümmern wir uns selbst drum und fragen die Security am Eingang uns zu helfen. Ein cooler Typ...er setzt alle Hebel in Bewegung und zieht zum Schluss noch die Guadia Cevil hinzu. Auch dieser macht Dampf bei der Gesellschaft. Letztendlich ist das Handy angeblich im Taxi nicht gefunden worden....evtl von einem nachfolgendem Gast eingesteckt...man weiß es nicht so genau.
    Wir müssen sagen, dass die beiden Jungs, Guadia Cevil, aber auch der Typ von der Security uns echt unterstützt haben. Eine Anzeige haben wir nicht gemacht, es bringt eh nix. Tui Cruises war da nicht so hilfreich, obwohl sie es uns zugesagt hatten, sich zu kümmern.
    Dann gibt es nun, am Ende dieser Reise 🛳⚓️ für Ralf ein neues Telefon ☎️.

    Was soll ich sagen, Stress ist ungesund und lässt einen Fehler machen....ärgerlich 🙃😒

    So, wir hatten nach dem ganzen Gedöns einen wunderschönen Nachmittag....und heute Abend geht's endlich los...Richtung Palma....    Leggi altro
