Euro-cruise: Amsterdam to Barcelona
Ágúst and I did a ten day cruise from Amsterdam to Barcelona. I had never been to any city of the stops we made, so it was really an adventure even beyond the amazing food, parties, DJs, performers, and other boat amenities. Here you can see our boat, the Celebrity Constellation, with the fortress in Ibiza in the background.
I wanted to get this giant Jesus statue copy of Rio, behind the golden gate esque bridge, and I got a bonus sail boat in the front.
So many amazing sculptures and the weather was gorgeous.
I really loved this turtle fountain.
Many epic churches, this was the largest we saw.
I loved how the sun was hitting this beautiful cubic house.
A hike out to the fortress yielded clear skies and ocean for kilometers in every direction.
This is my favorite shot from the entire trip, definitely getting a print.
This photo really encapsulated the weather for me. So sunny, warm, and perfect, the opposite of most days in Iceland.
Ibiza at night with yachts coming in.

My second favorite shot from the trip.
The sculptures littered around the cities we visited were superb.
An art museum of some sort with gorgeous sculptures outside.
Looking straight up.
Even the regular windows were bedecked in crazy details.
A front door in Barcelona surrounded by plants. I love this!
From the Orient Museum, so many beautiful decorative items. I much preferred this museum to the Guggenheim which was filled with too much modern art for my taste.
From the Maoist propaganda exhibit. Very cool.
Gorgeous juxtaposition of shipping cranes against the blue sky.
So many cool harbors.
The walk up to a beautiful church.
I liked the combo of palm trees and sunlit buildings.
These tuna cans had so many interesting colors and patterns.
There were so many beautiful and calm courtyards in the Spanish cities we stopped in.
On the way back to Iceland by way of Oslo.
There are a few more I did not link to directly, but are available in the set on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_chompers/sets/72157637678770904/
