globetrotterwannabe: pictures

As promised, here are some pictures, the nicer ones.
I'll start off with Spain (140209-220209)

my close friends who probably were 3x more excited than me. haha!

look at the space i had. it felt like as though i was in business class. ok, british airways wasnt that
bad afterall. they serve indian style food for halal meal. and i even had a full flat bed in ecomomy class. ok, that's cause the flight was rather empty.

for those wondering, i couchsurfed(www.couchsurfing.com) whenever possible. this is the view from Imme's in sitges. It's a quiet seaside town outside Barcelona.

me in front of the market near las rambla.

rows of shop just like this in the market. nice.

on top of the sagrada. it was rather warm, tt's why i didnt have my jacket on.

at parc guell.

climbing montserrat.

with Josep,another cs-er, at montserrat.

sitges. lovely.

with Imme, my first host for this trip. I really need to thank her again once more for a good start to couchsurfing and this eurotrip. Imme, if you are reading this, thank you for everything. I can never ask for a better host and friend other than you. :)

the al hambra. this was what i came to spain for. you need to go to granada and see the al hambra, then only can you tell others you've been to spain.

the court of lions. lions were taking a bath. ok, they were taken away for some restoration project. such a pity.

look at the intricacy of the artwork.

friends i made at the Alhambra! (:

view of the lecrin valley, where i stayed when i was in Granada.

modern irrigation techniques in during the golden age of islam in spain.

view fr the top of al bayzin, narrow street neighbourhood with many moorish buildings. together with the al hambra, it also is a UNESCO world heritage site. that's Ester, my friend and guide. Without her, i wouldnt be able to get a shot of this and also pray at the newly built mosque on top of the neighbourhood. thank you for the wonderful evening! :)
