Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
We had an awesome and beautiful walk thru Luxembourg City. Most of the time we walked along the Alzette, a tributary of the River Moselle. Luxembourg is very picturesque with it’s deep valley, lush greenery and gorgeous gardens! In this photo I am looking the other direction, thru the arched bridge that has the train tracks on it.

Dinant, Belgium
We drove through the countryside of Belgium and there we saw many cows. As Craig said, ‘the beginning of Belgium Chocolates’! My dad was raised on a dairy farm and he told me that cows are very curious, I noticed this with these two, while the others chewed grass and/or chewed the cud, they just watched me!

Under the English Channel at the Strait of Dover
It was time to leave the United Kingdom after having a WONDERFUL time there, so sadly, we took our leave! There are not a lot of options of getting off the islands but we chose the Eurotunnel or Chunnel. It was a great place to put my feet up and RELAX & I was doing what the roof top messaging bar said to do, (you may need to enlarge the photo to read it) ‘RELAX, we’ll drive.’

Greenwich, London, England
Craig really wanted to go to Greenwich to see the Prime Meridian and so we went. It is here, in Greenwich, where the longitude is 0 degrees and the rest of the world finds it’s place by going east or west! The view looking towards London was beautiful on this sunny day!

London, England
Tower Bridge is a symbolic icon of London and opened in 1894. The other day with Roby Parisi & Nauvoo Rossato, we walked across it on a much cooler and very cloudy day. So, this day, with no clouds and sunshine, we went for a boat ride along the River Thames and we went under Tower Bridge. The sights of London from the River Thames were awesome! By-the-way, the building on the right that looks like it is tipping, it is, that’s how it was built.

London England
On this beautiful sunny day in London we went for a ride on the Clipper, a type of water taxi. As we left we had a beautiful view of Big Ben, a nickname for the large bell clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London which the Houses of Parliament occupy. The tower is officially known as Elizabeth Tower, named after Queen Elizabeth. The tower was completed in 1859.

The London Eye is impressive day or night. As you watch it you can hardly tell that it is moving. From what I have heard it takes about 25 minutes to complete the ride. Though I don’t go on rides like this, they are just not my thing, (I would prefer to photograph them) I stand in awe that a man can make something so majestic and cool like the London Eye!

The London Eye sits on the River Thames and was completed in 2000. It is a giant Ferris wheel that stands 443 feet, when completed it was the world’s tallest Ferris Wheel but was surpassed in 2008 by the Singapore Flier (541′) and in 2014 by the High Roller in Las Vegas (550′). I don’t like Ferris Wheels, so I haven’t been on the London Eye, but Craig and Chelsea have been on it and on the Singapore Flier.

Westminster, London , England
After going to a cute play with our son and his family, we decided to visit a few tourist places around London. As always, there were so many people at Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British Monarch, but by getting back a bit with the gardens, it takes on a much calmer look!
