Paris (1)

Louvre

Selfie with the mona lisa

The coronation by David, all his paintings were on a massive scale.

So much looted stuff in the Louvre, the Egyptian wing was huge.

Took us ages to find how to get out of the Louvre, finally got it. 
Napoleon's dining room


Notre Dame


We were pretty lucky, we managed to catch a bit of the evening service,. didn't understand much though.

Bruges

Lovely place although it looks better in the movie.




Chocolate shops, pubs and erm,. skateshops


standard 


the belfry

couldn't find this place, got lost in all the alcoves

Some great beer here, I recognised some bottles that would set you back $35 in Itaewon here.




Our hotel looked out on the station, not the best view in Bruges I'm sure.

Last minute photos before the train!





Amsterdam (2)


More from Amsterdam but with less 'jump shots'.



sketches 



I love taking photos of people taking photos.  
I'm pretty sure I took a photo of the same boat last time I was in Amsterdam, about 6 years ago, if I find it I'll post it for comparison. 
An old pub in Amsterdam, the walls were turned brown from years of cigarette smoke. The barman was really friendly, he was from London and moved here more than 20 years ago.

makes the smart car look huge! 
traditional architecture, tall and thin buildings.
