Eiffel Tower, June 3rd

Tonight I am the Eiffel Tower (I wish!) For the first time in real life I see it with my own eyes. Magical is what I would use to describe it. The ambiance created by the flickering lights on this amazing work of art, lights up the open stretches of grass, amidst the numerous people who stare in awe at this amazing statue. Every hour at night until midnight the electrical 'stars' light up the Eiffel Tower and its surroundings as if a Christmas Tree.

Hundreds of people stretch themselves out on the luscious green lawns surrounding the Eiffel Tower, admiring the spectacular sights. In the distance the strings of a guitar fill the night air with romantic choruses.

Some crack a bottle of champagne whilst others relax to the sight of the tower, sipping on a glass of their favourite vintage. It is believed that 100's of people annually start their lives together at this romantic place. Who knows maybe one day I'd share this magical place with someone too?

Venezia, June 2nd

Finally, Venizia it is ....


Hmm ...



How a whole little 'town' can be superimposed on stilts in the sea is truly amazing ... The buildings sure tell the story of rising and falling waters .. but nether the less .. it is BEAUTIFUL!!! How these wooden stumps remain in good shape is a scientific story on its own ... try Google ... you will be amazed at the awesomeness of mother nature.....


The food .... well ... I am a sucker for Italian cuisine and the food at the little restaurant was like having a professional shef in your own dining room .. just enough space for a few tables ... talk about personal touch!



The sunset was truly amazing. Shades of salmon ... orange .. reds fill the skies amongst various shades of gray.


A perfect end to a superb day.

Innesbruck - June, 1st

There is no visiting Europe without admiring the picturisque beauty of the Swiss Alps. A day of shopping in Innesbruck is a definate must ... food ... drink ... and souvenirs ...

the possibilities are endless...

and do not forget to go to Swarovski ... Hmm .. The crystal beauty of the art works will make anyone go lame from the knees downards whilst you grasp at the fresh cool air flowing down from the mountains. Its like someone captured the spectrum of light from the mountains and captured it all within the 100s of crystals on display ..

Just enough time to sweep up all the apple strudel one could eat before the final bit of our travel adventure to get to Venice in Italy!

Yeeahh ....

I have been waiting for this the whole time ... Venizia!
