Thoroughly enjoyed catching up on this thread.

Never heard of ice surfing before until I went through this thread. Learn something new everyday

Allright, time for a final post before I wash these and send them away.

Spent the easter holidays in Barcelona, Spain with a bunch of friends (there were 18 of us, we have this tradition that we do a trip somewhere every spring and this was the fourth time now). The weather was super nice, around +20 degrees in the daytime and mostly sunny. Had loads of time to do touristy stuff, party and eat since all of the shops were closed most of the time.

Barcelona is a place I’ve always wanted to go to, because I love the modernista architecture and have been fascinated by Antoni Gaudi. Here’s me in front of Casa Batllo, an apartment building designed by him

Of course we had to go to Park Guell as well

The building by the main gate

And then of course we had to vist the Sagrada Familia, the legendary cathedral that’s been in the making for 140 years and still isn’t finished. No wonder since the details are mind-blowing

If you ever go I strongly suggest you visit in on the inside as well, it’s absolutely fantastic!

We also visited Montserrat, which is a small village on the top of a hill outside of Barcelona. There’s a monastery and a cathedral there as well.

Cool rock formations above the village

Views from the village

This church is located on the Tibidabo, a high hill on the northern edge of Barcelona city. There’s actually two churches built on top of each other surrounded by a small amusement park. We climbed the church tower to the spot right beneath the huge statue of Jesus, I think the sign said that it’s about 600 metres above sea level. It sure felt quite high up

A view from there

Some random snaps




Maybe next time I’ll book a room here

And what would a post about Barcelona be without tapas (or pintxos in catalan). If you have no other reason to visit Barcelona, do it for the food. I have to say that it might even surpass Italy in terms of that, and I love Italy and Italian food..

It was an amazing trip and I’m actually quite surprised to say that I’m sending the whites off with a bit of a heavy heart. I still think that white jeans aren’t my thing but I still connected with these. They’re super comfy and I don’t think they look too bad either but the thought of me owning a pair seems off. Nevertheless, I’m super happy that I got the chance to participate and now I guess it’s indigo 634-time again

On our last night we saw this double rainbow from our party pad balcony, and I thought it would be fitting to end my leg here with it as well!

Thank you for reading, I hope you’ve enjoyed this leg as much as I have!

Jii, a fitting end to a fantastic leg.  Excellent from start to Finnish.  Amazing photos, as always.  You've raised the bar.

[tmg]

Jii, thanks for posting all the fun you've had in these, (not sure I could pull off white jeans, but you've managed it in style!), and this last trip has put Barcelona right at the top of my places to visit this year…..the food looks fantastic

[Finn666]

[ronaldlsh]

Beautiful pics buddy. PM sent.

If nobody is interested in swapping slots (I'm keen to have them in July), then I'm up for April/May.

[Jii]

Thanks guys! I really enjoyed my first participance in a world tour. I loved the fact that while documenting my surroundings and everyday life I saw so much stuff and details that surround me all the time that I really never had paid any attention to - and I had loads of fun too!

[Jii]

[Megatron1505]

Great leg Jii, this tour has been a fun cultural experience so far…...apart from that idiot from the shit town in the East Mids of the UK.

[Graeme]

I've enjoyed the leg, Jii. And you had some proper snow there too.

[ronaldlsh]

Look what arrived today. Glad that they made it here safely.

Thanks Jii for the lovely message.. I'm pretty sure I would enjoy the jeans as much as you did.

Love the cracks on the patch.

Love the "dirt" and the contrast of the selvage.

[Jii]

Glad they arrived safely! I was going to oil the patch but forgot.. Looking forward to getting the full Singapore treatment!
