BBQ at Quarantine Island.

Quarantine Beach! It turns out there is one in Rotterdam!

"Asian BBQ" made us supper. Yum!

The floor was covered in this magical white fluff that stuck into everybody's hair making us all look a bit silly.
Spots of light all over us.

It seems that this area was used to isolate the patients sick with tuberculosis some time ago. For the past twenty-something years artists have settled in the houses of this magical spot in Rotterdam, where you can find, to my surprise, this little beach that is open from 10h to 22h. It's quite a well kept secret, I can't believe I found this out after over two years of living here!

Disturbing.

Dr. Aubrey de Grey.

I recommend this Channel 4 documentary about Dr. Aubrey de Grey who is fighting to find a way to immortality.

People with such strong passions fascinate me.

Inside and out.

On Phil's last day in Rotterdam we went to Chez Mo-i for lunch. They have a cute little back garden and serve yummy, healthy food. I had a goat's cheese sandwich with apple sirup, pine nuts and ruccula and Phil had quiche with salad. You can also get delicious (and pricy) bread. The garden became a bit too warm for us so we stepped inside for desert (OMG-brownie and lemon cake).

The inside is beautiful, spacy with really nice choice of furniture and the details are well taken care of. They also have an open kitchen, which I always find nice. And the owner is super stylish and always wears bright red lipstick.

Pfff-haha.

Found here.

Some wedding photos.

Thank you, Phil, your company was muchly, muuuchly appreciated.

The next stop was Schiermonnikoog, where Jannetje's sis was getting married. I was asked to take the photos of the wedding parties and Phil came along. He was great company and support. We got to see a bit of the island after the party.

Photo shop.

Samples of passport photos. Love it.

Oops.

Janneke's camera dropped on the floor right when this photo was taken.For some reason I thought that was really funny, as you can see from the expression on my face. (The camera is fine though).

I took her to this secret little garden in Sant Just Desvern, where my parents live. Three course meal for ten euros!

I should also ad Janneke was a super pleasant travelling companion, hopefully more trips are to be done together!

Montjuïc, Barcelona.

We went for the escalator.

Can't wait to see Janneke's pics!

J&W.

Just a little break from the Barcelona photos for this one of what I think is the best couple. Ever.

Found here.

Barcelona, out and about.

Feeling high from all the shopping.

Creepy crawlers.

14 years.

Magic moment.

Yup, we were also tourists.

Gotta love the rainbow suspenders!

Can't think of a better way of displaying food.

Visit to Mar's new place.

Loads of space! High ceilings! Beautiful floors!

Amazing staircase!

Big, quiet terrace!

Super guapa!

Patates y xibeca!

Mar has one of the most beautiful flats I've seen in Barcelona. I was very happy to see how well she's doing there, it was a wise decision to go back after all (despite me missing her so much back in Rotterdam...)

Cuqui, guapa!
