Relaxing at the Crossing

Kingston Upon Thames, England

After a great lunch with a dear friend, Ilaria Silli, we walked around Kingston Upon Thames.  It is a beautiful city with the River Thames going thru it.  Here I decided to take a rest and put my feet up!  Off to the right is Bentalls, a huge department store, it’s actually more of a mall and a big one at that!  I love all the red buses coming my way!

Private Lake

What a great walk and I found this pretty lake! It said: PRIVATE LAKE, NO SWIMMING, NO FISHING, but it didn’t say NO RELAXING, so I put my feet up, RELAXED & ENJOYED it!

RELAXING AT KING’S CROSS STATION BEFORE HEADING OUT ON THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS

We had a wonderful tour of The Making of Harry Potter. It is the actual set where for 10 years the Harry Potter movies were made. It’s also a museum full of props, models, designs and costumes from the movies! About half way thru I was getting a bit tired so I decided to take a seat and relax before heading off on the Hogwarts Express!

After a Great Walk

I had a WONDERFUL walk thru forests and glens and then I thought I would RELAX, yes, right by a monument to Queen Victoria in Esher!  By-the-way, as you can see by my flip-flops, it was a beautiful day in England!

After a delicious French Dinner, we walked around Reims, only for a short time because it was raining and yes, I had my travel shoes on, my flipflops!

Driving On The Left!

Because I come from New Zealand, driving on the left side of the road has never been a worry! However, this time, driving a car with the driver on the left, makes things a little scarier, worrisome & concerning! 😀 So far so good!!

Relaxing at Lake Lugano

One of the many tunnels we went thru on the road to Rome! Tunnels are fun, but you don’t want to hold you breath while going thru this one, 2 1/2 miles!

Ponte Delle Catene

Bagni di Lucca, Italy

We went to the city that Paola is from, Bagni di Lucca, a very quaint, pretty village nestled in the mountains.  I walked across the Bridge of Chains (Ponte Delle Catene) and there was a chair waiting there for me to RELAX on.  I sat down and waited, soon enough a bike came along, there is nothing like a bike, a bridge and relaxing all together!  😊

We sadly left Zagreb, Croatia (after having a wonderful time) and headed for Lucca, Italy. Surprisingly, we had a lot of snow as we passed thru Slovenia, maybe it was from the rain we had, the day before, in Zagreb??

Belgrade Fortress

As we started our cruise on the Vltava River, our guide told us that the best place for photographs would be on the back of the boat. So, I went back there, sat in a chair, put my feet up and enjoyed the ride! As we turned to go under the Charles Bridge I took this photo.

We went on a walking tour of Prague, so by the time we arrived at our cruise I was ready to put my feet up and RELAX, as we went along the Vltava River! In the distance you can see Charles Bridge, named for King Charles IV who started it’s construction in 1357, it was completed in the 15th Century.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Czech Republic is also very green and forestry like Germany! It was so beautiful as we drove thru the countryside. I of course, put my feet up and RELAXED!

Along Landwehrkanal

We went on a wonderful tour of Berlin, our tour guide was real good!  After being dropped off at a shopping mall we returned to some of the sights.  So, we ended up walking around a lot of Berlin, which was fun.  At one point we walked along the Landwehrkanal as we went towards the Brandenburg Gate.  I was looking for a spot to RELAX and I found it here on the waters edge.
