Europe

Yesterday, the Spanish visa center published appointment dates available until September 30. But I couldn’t make an appointment because their site kept blocking my IP address and was working very badly. I can understand that the site worked poorly, but I have no idea why they blocked my IP. I even tried changing my IP, but it didn’t help. I used 4 different networks: my home network, my first SIM mobile network, my second SIM mobile network, and my mom’s mobile network. And every time, they blocked me.

In Turkey, the weather is very good — 26 degrees, with a nice cool wind and a sunny sky. The weather is ridiculously comfortable for me, and I don’t want to leave the outside and go inside the airport. As for my plans, I only have one flight to my hometown, from IST to KZN. The flight is on September 3 at around 1 AM. Until then, I’ll be here.

This happened in France. I was walking on the French streets, enjoying the European atmosphere and taking nice photos to remember it. The streets were full of life: street musicians were playing music, and cafes smelled of fresh pastries. Every corner felt special, and I couldn’t resist taking pictures of everything.

Early in the morning on September 8, I left the hotel around 5 AM, when the city was still asleep. It was dark and quiet outside, giving a special atmosphere to morning Paris. I walked through the empty and unlit streets to the nearest metro station, which took about 15 minutes. I went down, got on the train, and traveled to Orly Airport.

While I was walking around the historical buildings, the daytime slowly passed. I decided to walk through the streets and head toward my hostel. During my walk, evening came unexpectedly — I didn’t even notice it. Everything around me was so interesting, and I wanted to see as much as I could. Because of that, time went by so fast, and soon the city lights turned on. The lights gave the city a cozy atmosphere and made it feel even more comfortable.

After Barcelona, I go to Paris for two days. The main goal of my trip was to see the Eiffel Tower and other famous landmarks. The day in Paris was cloudy and rainy, but by evening, the clouds cleared, and the sun came out. Despite the weather, I managed to see all the main sights and walked around the city. I was happy with my visit to Paris and feel like I accomplished my goal.

The first time in my life, I visited Europe, starting with Spain because they approved my visa. When I arrived in Barcelona, I liked the city, becouse, cozy streets and interesting architectural buildings. Even in the rain, you can walk under the buildings because the design allows it.
