My recent rendezvous!

Madurodam, Den Haag, Netherlands:

Land of the miniatures! Left to right: Downsized Dam Square, and clock towers in Amsterdam.

Zaanse Schans, Zaandam, Netherlands:


Village of Windmills, Cheese farms, traditional 17th and 18th century houses.

O'Porto, Portugal:
This was my second trip to Porto and the first for Naf!


Clockwise (from top left): At the Ribeira with the wineries across the Douro River, Naf and I shopping, view of the buildings (mostly churches) from the Church on the hill, and Naf at the church on the hill overlooking the Douro River.

Lisboa, Portugal:




Clockwise (from top left): Lisbon city centre, old houses in narrow streets, view from the top of St. George's Castle, Naf at St. George's Castle, the beautiful coastline of Cascais, the cliffs of Cascais.

Barcelona, Spain:


Clockwise (from top left): One of the many talented buskers on the main La Ramblas street, a square with countless restos and bars - all selling the popular Paella dish, an artist who did all those pieces with only SPRAY PAINT - amazing isn't it? The renowned Sagrada Familia by Antonio Gaudi, another busker, and a busy busy Catalan street!

Palma de Mallorca, Spain:
With temperatures no less than 23-25 degrees, and the white sandy beaches with blue blue waters, this was paradise!



Clockwise (from top left): The airport looked like a resort in the Caribbean or something with the Palm trees all over, the view from the plane, the not-so-crowded beach, white sand with blue waters and the little hut-like umbrellas to chillax under, and the oh-so-breathtaking sunsets. BEAUTIFUL! By far, the best place to relax and unwind, and even retire!
