go on more day trips

I left Sunday morning for Barcelona and returned Wednesday evening. I had such a good time. I managed to see many wonderful things, walking my feet off in the process. I think I’ll be able to think back to it fondly for a while.

This concludes my planned short trips so far. With London in December and Paris & Barcelona in April I visited my probably three favourite cities, in a fairly short time. I’m glad I went through with this – I admit I had a few doubts this could work out so well…

Good thing I already did the rough stuff, when I had the idea first. Now to get the details, so I can do many nice things !

I had a great almost-2-days in Paris. It’s wonderful when plans come together like this :)

I first checked into my hotel and then headed for the Petit Palais, a new-to-me museum. And I liked it, it was just the right size for the time I had available. Here’s one thing I saw there:

Especially enjoyable was also to sit in the little outside part at the cafe!

Then some walking around the city, always so nice to do there.

In the evening I went for the Loreena McKennitt concert there, where I had a wonderful front row seat:

On the way back to the hotel I made this photo, which I’m liking a lot:

The next day, after some walking and breakfast, I went to the current exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay: Degas et le nu

So many great paintings and drawings. Many of which I would never have seen but for this exhibition. So nice.

After this I tried to see as many things in the Orsay, as I could.

Then a little more walking around the city, of course at least once seeing how Notre Dame is doing, before heading for the airport and back to the cat-boys.

for my upcoming short trip to Paris. Got all the rest of the info this weekend and just finished printing it all out. Yay, Paris :)

I’ve now got the flights and hotels booked for my two little trips at the beginning and the end of April. Paris & Barcelona :) Looking forward to that !

really planning my next day trip, it’ll be Paris for about 1.5 days just before Easter.

and had just a wonderful time in those 3.5 days :)

In fact, there were so many nice things, I wasn’t sure how to start this entry <g> – So instead, I’ll make several entries in the next couple of days :)

with the trips planned for the first half of next year.

for the couple of days I’ll be in London and then researched all the opening times and how best to get to places. Since I hope to pack the days full of cool stuff to do and see, this approach has worked best for me in the past.

my flight to London :)
