I took these pictures when I visited San Francisco for the first time, in september 2018. I remember instantly liking the city, because of it's pretty architecture and steep roads. We spend most of our time at Pier 39, which is a very touristy place. I'm not a huge fan of those typical tourist places, but it was cool to see the sea lions! Through the mist, we could also see Alcatraz! It was a really sunny day, but don't let the pictures fool you, the wind was freezing! 

Pouring rain
Chasing everyone away
Back into their home
A safe place? 
We don't mind the rain as long as we're inside

We are used to hide
The rain on the the glass creates
a blurry picture
so you can't really see
What's going on inside of me

Croatia, April 2018. 
I visited Porec, Rovinj and Pula in my last year of high school. Since we were there in april, outside of the tourist season, it wasn't busy at all. It was kind of a strange feeling walking through narrow streets with almost nobody there except us, a group of teenagers. I imagined being there in the summer, when it's hot, the streets are filled with people, noise, laughter... It's interesting how different a place appears and feels when there are more people, especially tourists visiting. 

English: Hi! This is the second part of my travel report about Barcelona. I still had a lot of pictures which I can finally show you! Most of the pictures are taken on Las Ramblas. In the evening, we went to Font Màgica Montjuïc, a light show with music, where I also took some pics . I hope you like them!

Nederlands: Hey! Dit is het tweede deel van mijn reisverslag over Barcelona.
Ik had nog een hele lading foto’s die ik nu eindelijk aan jullie kan laten zien. Lees & kijk je mee? 

English: I came back from camp last weekend, and just as I promised: here is the first blogpost about Barcelona! We visited this city only 1 day, so I only had a quick impression of this beautiful, big metropolis. I definitely want to go back there one day. I took a lot of pictures the whole time I was there, and here’s the first part; enjoy!

Nederlands: Afgelopen weekend kwam ik thuis van een leuke kampweek , maar zoals beloofd: hier is de dus eerste blogpost over Barcelona. Zoals je in mijn vorige twee posts al kon lezen, was ik in juli voor 10 dagen naar Spanje. We maakten een aantal daguitstappen, waaronder naar Barcelona! Ik heb dus maar vluchtig kunnen kennismaken met deze enorme stad. Zoals gewoonlijk nam ik ook weer héél wat foto’s, waarvan je het eerste deel hier te zien krijgt. Yay :D 

English: As I said in my previous blog post (If you haven’t read it, go read it! ;)), I went to a summercamp in Spain. And I took a lot of pictures, that I want to share with you, spread over several blogposts, yay! Now, this is the second one… with pictures of the beach. We went there twice during the camp. Enjoy the pictures!

Nederlands: Zoals ik al vertelde in m’n laatste blogpost (als je die nog niet gelezen hebt, zeker doen hé! ;)), ben ik op kamp geweest in Spanje. En ik nam daar een heleboel foto’s, die ik met jullie ga delen, verspreid over verschillende blogposts, yay! ‘Keep on swimming’ is ondertussen al de tweede van die reeks... deze keer met foto’s die ik aan het strand nam. We maakten twee keer een uitstapje naar de prachtige Middelandse Zee. Kijk je mee? (Het rijmt nog ook ;-)) 

 
Nederlands: Maandag 17 juli vertrok ik op kamp. Samen met bijna 100 andere jongeren, verdeeld over 2 bussen. Op weg naar het warme Spanje, waar we 10 dagen met elkaar zouden optrekken. Ik leerde nieuwe mensen kennen, genoot met volle teugen van de prachtige natuur in Catalonië en pufte (zoals iedereen) onder de hitte van de Zuiderse zon. Lees je verder mee?
 
English: On the 17th of july, I went to a summercamp, along with 100 other youngsters. Two buses packed with young passengers, we started our trip to Spain. We stayed there for 10 days. I met new people, enjoyed the beautiful nature of Catalonia and I have been sweating a lot (like everyone else) in the heat. Here is the first part of the pictures I took. Enjoy!

English: Wow. It’s been one week after the Easter Vacation and I’m already drowning in homework! I have to admit, half of the things I am stressing about now are stuff I could have done during holidays. But I didn’t, oops. Anyway, as promised, here is the second part of my schooltrip to London. We visited a few museums (most of the museums in London are free to enter), and went to the musical Aladdin. It was my first experience seeing a musical. You can read more about my experiences below, but only in Dutch. ;) 

​Nederlands: Wow. Slechts één week na de Paasvakantie en ik zit alweer tot over mijn oren in schoolwerk. Ik moet wel toegeven, de helft van het werk waar ik nu over loop te stressen, kon ik eigenlijk wel in de vakantie doen. Maar dat heb ik dus niet gedaan, oops…
In ieder geval, zoals beloofd, hier is het tweede deel van de foto’s van m’n schoolreis naar Londen. We bezochten een aantal museums en zijn ook naar de musical Aladdin geweest. Mijn eerste musical-ervaring! Lees hieronder meer over mijn belevenissen in London. :) 

 Hi! Exactly a week ago, I was walking around in London. I was there on a school trip for three days. I took a lot of pictures because London has so many cute spots, beautiful buildings,…
So I had a lot of work this morning selecting the best pictures and editing them all. But I really enjoyed doing it.
Here is the first part of my pictures, showing the first day in London. You can read more about this day below. :)
