Famous for its sweet side. But which other discoveries does this country hide?


Hello friends. Welcome!
Thank you for joining in our euphoria through Europe!
After enjoying the lovely trance in France,
We headed off to the next country, Belgium!
As we took a halt at the grand place, we were positively surprised by the monuments of Brussels.
We took some photos with the statue of Everard t'Serclaes, a monument in Brussels.
It is said among locals that the statue of Everard t'Serclaes brings luck and grants the wishes of all who touch it.
After this enlightening incident,
We spent the morning photographing with the monuments of Belgium such as the Town hall,
The Atomium and even the famous Manneken Pis Statue!
The time had come to try and probably buy the thing which Belgium is known for,
The Belgium chocolate!
We had a great; sorry? Yummy afternoon!
Overall, it was an amazing experience, I must say
And now, the time had come to travel away!
But where?
Be hi on curiosity till the next post,
For now signing off, ciao. Your host!

Life gives us but one great chance. Greetings from France!

Dear friends, Bonjour!
Welcome to the continuation of our euphoric journey through Europe!
After being energized in the Queen's land,
We moved onward with the hope of making our journey grand!
Aboard the Eurostar; a high-speed railway service connecting London with Paris, Rotterdam, etc.
We were surprised by its comfort, cleanliness and most important of all punctuality!
The ride of the Eurostar was wonderful….
As the train crosses an undersea channel on the way,
We were fascinated by the brief scenery of the ocean.
Not only that, but the landscape was also something to keep looking at!
Frequently carpeted by the yellow rapeseed flowers, too captivated our sites.
The rapeseed. Also known as the Canola, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed. It is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and second-largest source of protein meal in the world.
What and how much to click?
With a manifold increase in our curiosity due to such natural beauty around,
We knew not how time had flown by but our feet touched Paris’s ground.
Till it finally happened we were almost counting the time by the hour…
It was simply beyond even our dreams at the Eifel tower!....
More than during the daytime, the beauty enhances at night…
The tower just turn’s gold when it’s illuminated by thousands of lights….
The next day smiled away
As many of us were going to meet some childhood friends whom we now miss?...
For we began the morning and enjoyed the entire day in the Disneyland of Paris!
Be it the greeting of Alice in her wonderland or Meat up with Peter Pan,
The journey with the Pirates of the Caribbean or else getting charmed by snow White…
Everything was a smiling delight!
The evening dinner enveloped us in its high-class atmosphere with a performance/show.
Stick through the tour, excitement for sure!

Hold my hand, inviting you to the queen’s land!


Hello friends. Welcome!
How’s the joyride of life?
For new experiences and memorable memories to unravel, I believe one should travel!
So! Ready for the take off?
3, 2, 1?
Hello!. London!
With our co-travelers and with you dear readers,
The day began with a visit to the Madame Tussaud's wax museum.
Impressed by the selfless attitude of the amazing personalities
Who smilingly allowed us to take unlimited selfies,
We moved through the museum for a wonderful ride
Of a virtual taxi that took us through the history of England.
Next, the city welcomed us with its various attractions like Hyde Park, River Thames, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, etc….
The Hyde Park. Located in central London, is a major park in London. It’s also the largest of the 4 royal parks in London forming a chain from the entrance of Kensington Palace through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, via Hyde Park Corner and Green Park past the main entrance to Buckingham Palace.
The park was established by Henry VIII in 1536 and opened to the public in 1637, and quickly became popular.
Big Ben. An UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987,
Is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London.
The tower stands 315 feet (96 m) tall. The climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps.
Westminster Abbey is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London.
Our cameras and eyes were constantly busy at all these places,
Capturing the wonder around us and engraving everything in our hearts.
After some quick clicks in the area of Buckingham Palace,
As we had a similar experience in the  flyer of Singapore,
The London Eye, a 30 minute city-flight,
Became a perfect call for a sleepy night.
Next day saw us in travel for several hours. The beautiful landscape, the clean, green streets, the occasional, disciplined traffic, the structure of houses everything was just awesome.
Turning our eyes left and right, we arrived at another London site… *The Kohinoor*.
The Tower of London is a historic castle located in central London.
The Kohinoor, meaning the mountain of light in Hindi, Urdu and Persian is one of the largest cut diamonds in the world, weighing 105.6 carats (21.12 g),[a] and is part of the British Crown Jewels.
Presently it’s displayed for the public in the Jewel House at the Tower of London.
The journey through the Jewel House was wonderful!
Along with the Kohinoor, we saw the other crown Jewels as well. There,
We realized that culture and history was remarkably well-preserved.
Till our next meet
See you!
