Mercado de La Boqueria, and the location of our Covid-safe celebration lunch for my friend’s recent marriage.

An open air shelted market with stalks selling produce and meats with a large number of visitors.

Visited Sagrada Família this afternoon. Absolutely stunning cathedral. Photos don’t do it justice, especially from cameras with dirty lenses (sorry for all the lens-flares).

Looking up and across the nave of the cathedral revealing the high archways and stained glass windows near the left side.

Making this my first photo of Barcelonia: the lift in our hotel has two doors at 90° of each other. First instance of seeing this.

Morning walk along a wooded trail just outside Elorrio. Perfect for recharging my social batteries after last night’s wedding reception.

Small roadway flanked on both sides by European woodland.

Elorrio, and the day of my friends wedding. It’s been a few years in the making, due to the pandemic, but the day has arrived.

Elorrio, looking towards the town center.

It never ceases to amaze me how large the seagulls are in Europe and the UK. So much larger than the ones back home.

Now we’re really checking items off my bucket list. TGV from Paris Montpanasse to Hendaye, on the French/Spanish border. Speed topped at 312 km/h on the way to Bordeaux.

A Parisian street, and the last few hundred metres of my journey.

At Dubai International Airport, buying $12 coffee and looking for departure boards, which are few and far between.

Inside the terminal of Dubai International Airport, looking at palm trees next to a travelator.

At the cafe this morning. The ledge of this cabinet is the perfect height for dogs to do this. I always enjoy seeing it.
