NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY, LONDON

I wasn't allow to take this photo

SCIENCE MUSEUM, LONDON

18.09.13

Don’t get me wrong. The thought of going to a science museum bored me to death, but a free trip to London convinced me to go. The Science Museum in London is located in South Kensington. 

I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. It was the history aspect to the scientific studies that interested me most. The camera below (with out the lense) was the camera that took the famous photo of the the naked girl, Kim Phúc, is running down the road, screaming. One of the most famous photographs depicting the Vietnam war.

The object that you see as a round gold circle is a sun diagram.

The museum in fact fascinated me- the old cars, the historic artifacts and the serenity I find in museums. 

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC

I don't know what all the fuss is about Paris; Prague beats that city any day! My visit to Prague allowed me to decide that this city is one of my favourite cities in the world- and not just because of its five storey club. This city tops every romantic city in the world, from the architecture, to the people and of course the famous bridges. 

WIEN, AUSTRIA

Also known as Vienna- the capital city of Austria (Sound of Music country) and a city home to coffee, gentlemen, classical music and terrific culture. From Mozart to the royal family this place is blooming with things to do and places to see. A favourite, became, visiting the Habsburg Summer Palace. Then there was the famous Schnaps museum where we tried various toxic shots, also a favourite of the famous Marilyn Manson. Another tourist stop was Prater Park; a large theme park. In Vienna I was lucky enough to go to performance where Mozart and Strauss' music was performed- it was incredible. I love the beauty of this city, the architecture and the fact that Hans was in my thoughts the whole time, I know he would have loved it all. Being here allowed me to really be close to him and think about what an amazing friend I have to always be my guardian angel.  

A ROMAN ESCAPADE

ROME, ITALY. A city filled with an extremely rich history and history that is still mostly visible through the protection of famous monuments. Home to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Roman Fortrum, Vaitican City and my favourite- the Pantheon.  Not only was I in love with this city because of its history and incredible architecture, but it is also the city that the famous Audrey Hepburn acted her role as Princess Ann in Roman Holiday- and if you had my love for black and white films you would understand my obsession. Unfortunately Gregory Peck was unable to be found, to my disappointment.

HYERES, FRANCE

How we ended up in Hyeres is partly a mystery. Pronounced "ear", Hyeres is a little town on the coast of South France close to Nice.  We stayed in a hotel overlooking the town and the tiled roofs. The main attraction was the beach, after walking along the coast we found many secret beaches to nap and tan. It was brilliant!

A LITTLE PARADISE IN SOUTH FRANCE

Another train journey to Orthez, and we were collected and drove to the house we would be spending two nights in. If you think of those movies and books where they describe the stone house in the South of France- this was it! It was the most beautiful house, and we got to relax and spend time by the pool before we carried on with our adventures.
