Barcelona - entry 002

Decided to check out the topmost floor, which was the 8th. Was a viewing deck X pool area.

We had it all to ourselves so was very nice!

Surprised that we could get such a good view from the 8th floor. :D The sky was absolutely beautiful, and the view was different on all four sides!











..and more!







Haha, was a little hard to narrow down the number of photos.xD

I love how drastic the sky changes colour. Amazing hue.

Barcelona - entry 001

Have just come back from my trip to Europe. First stop was Barcelona.:D

Was a long 20-hour flight to Barcelona, tired when we got there but was very very pleased with our hotel. It was more than what I expected--clean and new, also the flooring was wood, which I liked. Hotel carpets are usually gross.





Service was good as well, the concierge was pretty friendly.:P

We got a street view facing another hotel, and the street stretched to El Triangle on the left, and Universitat on the right.



We must have arrived around 2+pm, freshened up a bit before heading out. Today we will be meeting with Barcelona photobloggers Rob and Mandy!

Was definitely good to be able to lie down for a bit after that long plane ride!



Would definitely recommend this hotel, and I think I will write a good review on TripAdvisor, (at least will try to find time for it..).

[Shall add more photos to this post as soon as I transfer the photos from the other camera.^_^]

Dinner, Lush Decor, and a Lovely Sweet Finish

Photos from last night shot with my PSP Camera, who thought it actually takes decent photos!
It was well-worth the money after all.


Took photos of myself while I waited for my ride

Where we had dinner:





Stuff I had on my plate. Lol, I have already started digging in when I took this photo. Messy. n_n;

A look at the rest of the restaurant:








This is the part that I absolutely love:





Bread, and the like.








Heading straight to dessert..





They're lined up pretty nicely, eh?




Used fish-eye for mobile lens on my psp, and this is how it turned out..





Choccie love.




What I actually ate:



...are a load of sweets..



a closer look,



and more sweets (but this is sugar-free, and it tastes lovely.)

I never forget to take photos of.... and this is the ladies room where you get to freshen up...and gossip.

So we did some walking outdoor, and this is the restaurant seen from outside.

The pool area, where they play some cool music.
(here you can see the PSP Camera's flaws.)

If I could swim I'd jump right in.




and you can get your drinks from the bar,

Photos taken @ the hotel lobby:



The place is chuck-ful of lush interior.



Desk, painting in the background..



The other side of the hall.



Arches:



More photos of the lobby:




Some seating spaces:



Very interesting chair, don't you think? Must be nice to sit by the window during the day.



I am so taken by the grandiosity of it all.




This flight of stairs lead to I do not know, but it sure looks marvelous on this photo.
[.......and yes, these were all taken with my psp. great colour, great quality.]



Arches, dark wood, high ceiling,....

This is where you'll find the front desk, and all other guest services (mail, etc)
