    Traveling in one of the most multicultural cities in the word 🏙️

    4 days in the north’s ‘finance capital’ in the run up to Canada Day was certainly immersive. From swimming in Lake Ontario to exploring downtown - guided by Sr Rose and the locals - we got a full Toronto experience 🇨🇦

    Home to the famous Latin Quarter and the hub of student life in Paris for over 1,000 years Paris’ Left Bank is a mix of medieval universities and chic shopping malls. We visited the cities oldest church (Saint-Germain-des-Prés) and one of its largest (Saint-Sulpice). Towering overhead is the Eiffel Tower, the first man-made structure to pass both the 200 and 300 metre mark 😱🇫🇷Read more

    Axe historique

    July 3, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    The Axe historique (“historical axis" in English), also know as Voie Triomphale ("triumphal way") extends from the centre of Paris to the West-Northwest of the city. Reaching from Notre-Dame, in the very heart of the capital, to Europe’s largest purpose built business district, La Défense. Closed by the cathedral on the East and La Grande Arche de la Défense in the West the line is home to such monuments as the Arc de Triomphe and Musée du Louvre.

    Under Napoleon’s arch we paused before the tomb of the unknown soldier and the eternal flame 🔥 We then took the oldest Metro line in the city all the way down the Champs-Élysées to the Louvre.

    Fire took a new meaning as we stood before Notre-Dame, rising from the ashes of the 2019 fire. Restored by hundreds of France’s best craftsmen the cathedral is set to be reopened at the end of the year 🪜👨‍🎨    Read more

    July 8, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    There were no Golden Tickets or boys named Charley but there was plenty of chocolate as we walked through the doors of one of the most prestigious chocolate factories of Europe. Greeted by the largest chocolate fountain in the world, our host guided us through their museum as we enjoyed (to varying degrees) spoonfuls of melted chocolate and handfuls of different flavours.
    While waiting for the ferry to take us to the factory we were entertained by a flock of swans on the lake.    Read more

    July 11, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    As thousands crowded the city for the visit of Taylor Swift, our hosts tailored us a swift trip into the country. Once out of town, we rode the oldest Cogwheel train line up the side of Mt. Rigi. From a height of nearly 1,800m we had a spectacular view of the Swiss Alps.
    Upon decent we sailed on a very old (antique😉) steam-piston-driven water wheel boat.
    We finished our journey with a visit to Rhine Falls - Europes largest water fall.    Read more

    Standing atop Vatican Hill it is the largest church in Rome, and arguably the world.

    July 15, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 38 °C

    Type of the antique Rome! Rich reliquary
    Of lofty contemplation left to Time
    By buried centuries of pomp and power!
    At length—at length—after so many days
    Of weary pilgrimage and burning thirst,
    Thirst for the springs of lore that in thee lie,
    I kneel, an altered and an humble man,
    Amid thy shadows, and so drink within
    My very soul thy grandeur, gloom, and glory!

    After a few days in Rome we packed in a trip to Assisi. Perched on a hilltop not far from Rome it is small town, but with so much to see. The birthplace of the well known Sts Francis and Clare it has come to be one of the great pilgrimage destinations of Europe. We spent our day exploring some of the beautiful churches and breathtaking cobblestone alleyways backdropped by the valley.Read more

    Farewell to the Eternal City

    July 18, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Time to bid farewell to the Eternal City (for now) 🤌

    After popping in to a few baroque masterpieces we headed off to the Trevi fountain and twin basilicas of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria in Montesanto.

    The origin of the two churches traces back to the 17th-century restoration of what was the main entrance to the Middle Ages and Renaissance Rome. Pope Alexander VII commissioned the monumental design to architect Carlo Rainaldi. Though the churches at first appear identical there are in fact major differences. Rainaldi was able to create one of the grandest gateways to the city, despite the plots of land for the two buildings varying significantly in proportions (as can be seen from the un-identical domes which are hexagonal and octagonal respectively). In the centre of the square stands Rome’s oldest obelisk, on of thirteen in the city.

    We bid farewell to Rome as the sun did, from the top of the Spanish steps.

    “I don't honestly know how it happened,
    How quickly you captured my heart,
    But I could've never imagined
    That I'd miss Roma so hard.”

    Paris - one last day

    July 19, 2024 in France ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Off a sunrise flight we stepped back into the romantic streets, gardens, monuments and churches of the City of Light💡

    With a strange familiarity we headed back to the Left Bank to tick off a few sites including a former royal garden and palace (now the seat of the French Senate and public park), 2 churches and 1 national monument before it was off to the airport 🥲Read more
