Our day in Paris was a mixed bag but enjoyable. The visit to the Louvre was a little overwhelming mainly because of the heat ( no air conditioning) crowds, maps hard to read, and after figuring it outWeiterlesen
Reisender I'm always amazed at how on earth they paint such detail on the ceilings. Must have been hard on the arms.
Reisender We're relating to the crowd issue. Hard work at times as we kiwis like our space!
Reisender We feel that the big tourist spots in Britain do it better for crowds - all going one way etc and by the crown jewels a moving platform that kept everyone moving. At the Mono Lisa people were just not moving. Yip we aren't used to dodging people on the footpath etc everywhere you go. No wonder visitors to nz love it so much.

It is always a reflective time when I visit Kensington Palace. Sure, I love all the history, particularly related to Queen Victoria and Princess Margaret who both lived here. But, obviously my biggestWeiterlesen
Reisender A amazing place filled with such history good times bad time sad times. Lovely photos of Diana especially with her boys and then the lovely picture of the boys together it would be so nice if they could make up, life is far too short.
Reisender Absolutely 🥰 I thought 💭exactly the same while looking. Diana would be devastated at the rift! 😢😢😢 tyey would know this and will make up one day! she'd also be proud Harry has made a different life for himself too! so, there would be conflicts in her mind too. But she would want her boys to be friends. pS: youre up ⏰ late!

Reisender It just looks like a place to put your feet up and rest, so peaceful. I always thought the Cotswolds would be a lovely place to base yourself in. ❤️

Still Life, 1993-2000. Ai collected thousands of Stone Age tools from flea markets--axe-heads, chisels, knives and spindle whorls. We tend to think of these as precious because of their age, but they are just commonplace examples of what was needed for everyday survival.
