As our coach approahed Paris…

…the Eiffel Tower grew in size…

…until it became too much for us and we had to make a photo.

The following day we saw it…

 

…in all its splendour.

Sydney Harbour Bridge…

…and the

Sydney Opera House

Leaning Tower of Pisa

 

Rome’s Colosseum

 

the  Eiffel Tower in Paris…

 

…and a visit to Paris would not be complete

without visiting Notre Dame de Paris…

…we were lucky to visit about

tweleve months before the fire.

 

Across the chanel Buckingham Palace was always high

on my list of London places to visit.

Unique to the United Arab Emirates

is Dubai’s

Burj Al Arab…

…and while still thinking Dubai is the

Burj Kahlifa

is another structure unique

the U.A.E.

 

The Clock known as Big Ben

is unique to London…

…while across the channel is

the Eiffel Tower

which is a Parisien landmark…

…as is this Leaning Tower

is a landmark in Italy’s

Pisa

Closer to home at coastal Anglesea’s golf course

you can play a round of golf while kangaroos

inspect the greens…

…or rest in the rough.

Only in Australia’s Northern Territoy

will you find this view from

atop Ayres Rock (Uluru)

Depending on one’s point of view,

it is either a pity or a blessing that

Ayres Rock is now closed to climbing.

The above image was taken from

my 1974 super 8 movie.

The Eiffel Tower

appears rather imposing in this image,

however, it is only 1083 feet/330m high

and dwarfed by…

…Dubai’s Burj Khalifa

is 2,716.5 feet/828 metres high

and the world’s tallest building. 

A much larger building the Eiffel Tower

This elephant was telling us where to go

and I, for one, was happy to let it

have its territory until

it is disturbed next.

long

measuring a great distance
from end to end.

From the top of the Eiffel Tower stretches

a long beam of light, presumably to warn

low flying aircraft of its presence

and height.

Some websites state that the Great Ocean Road

ends at Port Fairy some 664 kilometres

and nine and a half hours driving, to the west.

While others claim that it is only 243 kilometres long,

commencing at Torquay and ending at Allansford,

ten minutes east of Warrnambool.

fame

the state of being known or talked about
by many people, especially on account
of notable achievements.

Before our visit to Europe, I assumed there

was only one Statue of David, and was

surprised to learn there was several.

I can only assume the real David

would be in better condition than

this bronze replica of David in the

centre of Florence’s

Piazzale Michelangelo,

where it is subjected to

the weather elements,

all year-round.

 

A Vatican City ceiling

 

The Eiffel Tower’s fame made it

a must-visit during our

time in Paris.

 

Being a Victorian (born and bred) I would have preferred

to use Melbourne’s West Gate Bridge, 

however, many readers may not have heard

of the West Gate Bridge,

so I opted for the

Sydney Harbour Bridge

which we are told,

on a regular basis,

is known worldwide.
