I went to Sydney for the first time last year, this is very shameful considering I lived in Australia for over 25 years. It was very beautiful but my heart belongs to Melbourne.

Reflect
The old and the new in London. My camera phone is taking over my life but I am okay with that.
suspended flight
These were taken at the Military Museum, we ended up there by chance, entry is free- a rarity in Europe and you can climb up to the rooftop for a 360 view of Brussels. Besides a collection of suspended aircraft they also have the creepiest museum mannequins you will ever see, this place is stuffed to the brim and is an interesting example of the way museums used to look.
hometown tourist
We stepped out of our tiny inner city bubble this weekend and went exploring further afield. We were blessed with lovely spring weather which always means ice-cream. Brussels apparently has over 70 parks, this is one of them, the Cinquantenaire.
The blues.
Brussels is drab today- cold, grey, rainy and I have a case of the good bye blues after seeing off a friend this morning. It is summer somewhere though.
This is Sydney, in all its sunny glory, from our holiday last July- 24 degrees in winter, yup, 24 degrees. I am not making that up.
Meeting Christian
Last week in Germany, when out day-tripping, we bumped into Christian on his destructive path across Europe. We turned around, away from the storm, and made for Externsteine where we watched the sky clear then turn blue. This place has a long, interesting and somewhat shady history.
If you are willing you can clamber all the way up to the top.
Oxford
In Oxford we learnt royal castles become jails then tourist attractions and that being the only people on a tour led by a costumed guide, in character as an escaped 18th century convict, is awkward and feelings of extreme fremdschämen will arise.
