Day 2 In Barcelona

I have not been able to stick to my 1 year-ago events.
It was too tiring - putting up posts for the days that I was oncall.
Besides, I had other things that I wanted to blog about as well.

However, I would like to finish what I started - I have about 3 days more of the trip left.
So, here are the pictures we took on the 30th of June 2008.
It was our 2nd day in Barcelona.
As I mentioned previously, Barcelona is all about Gaudi.
On this particular day, we visited 2 other Gaudi creations - Casa Mila and Casa Battlo.

Our first stop - Casa Battlo

I think Gaudi never liked straight lines


That is a fireplace - cute, right?

Have you ever thought of doing up your window in that shape?

The Casa Battlo chimney

One of the rooms that was done up to show what it would have looked like during the period the house was built - compare this picture to this.

Next up - Casa Mila. This is a model of the place.

The many different chimneys - this is what Casa Mila is famous for.
No 2 chimneys are the same.

The windows are positioned in such a way as to receive the maximum amount of sunlight.

A chair designed by Gaudi. We were not allowed to sit on sit, but the curves supposedly 'correspond' to those on a human body, making it extra comfortable.

After that, we went to the Barca stadium.

A visit to the market.
Even now, looking at these sweets make me drool!

Colourful, no?

Me and Puspha then proceeded to go on a bus ride around Barcelona, just to pass time. And guess what, we met Von Yen, Swee Hung, Jan, Beng and Quek!! Such a coincidence! But it was just a short meeting 'cos we were headed in different directions. Still, it was fun to meet them.

And now I miss them.
:(
Just wish to sit and lepak and talk till dawn like we used to.

There are a few quotes that I would like to share with you.
'Thing do not change. We change.'
'If at first you don't succeed, you're running about average.'
'Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be.'

p/s - here is a post I wrote on that day from Barcelona.
