Conveuropean

A couple of weeks ago K. was visiting Dublin and we rent a car to go for the first time to the Northwest of the country. We drove all the way to Donegal stopping by in Sligo and Bundoran. One of the highlights of the trip was without question the Slieve League cliffs. They are more than 600 meters high and the view is just stunning as you can observe in this picture.

I still remember how I felt the first time I visited the Tower Eiffel in Paris (it was the same sensation I experienced when I visited the Taj Mahal): A landmark that you have seen so many times in pictures, postcards, movies, books, etc, but this time the place appears in front of your face and you can almost touch it from the distance. Every time I go to Paris I try to go to the Trocadero metro stop and try to get this really good view of the Eiffel Tower. Once I was playing with my camera and I setup a long exposure while the tower was glittering and that's how I got this shot.

In the summer of 2010 we were looking for a short break holiday and we found some cheap tickets to Bergamo, so we decided to go there. I was gladly surprised by this beautiful town, particularly the “Città Alta” area with its medieval town architecture, narrow streets and history you can breath in every corner. We were not very lucky with the weather in that occasion (we experienced some torrential rain) and were in our summer outfits, but nevertheless we enjoyed the visit to this place and I would gladly come back.

Last fall I went to visit my dear friend J. in the Netherlands. This time we took the train a visited the nice city of Utrecht. We walked around the canals, grab some cup of coffee and enjoyed a lovely sunny day grabbing a beer in one of the terraces.

Last summer I found a extremely cheap flight ticket to Edinburgh flying in the morning and coming back in the evening, so I decided to make a "day trip" by plane to Scotland. I'm really glad that I did it because Edinburgh turned out to be a very interesting city with it's majestic castle, and the one o'clock gun, bam!!!. I also solved during that trip one question I had my mind for a while (why a Scotland and England are part of the same united kingdom). I also enjoyed walking around the city and climbing to this park where I got the chance to get a nice view of the city. I definitively will come back!.
