This Nice Beach in Menton, France

Different places, different travel experiences!  This is always the same wherever I go. each place has its own beauty whether it is just a small village or a metropolitan city.

Our visit to Menton  last year was a good one. It is located on the French Riviera. This city of  France is  nicknamed "The Pearl of France". It  is probably because of its beautiful location  along the beach. We only had around three hours sightseeing this place. It was quite short but we  experienced a lot. We actually visited two cities in one day. One was San Remo, a city in Italy.

What I love most is the location of Menton,  a seaside city. Here is one of the snapshots I took during our visit last April 2011.

Visit to the Cadbury World in Birmingham, England

If you love chocolates, this is a perfect place for you to go. The Cadbury World in Birmingham, England  is  one of the world's largest confectionery manufacturers.  I am thankful to my friend from Birmingham who brought me to this place.  We did not really had a tour inside it but we instead  we just went to  its shop to buy some souvenirs and chocolates. There is someone in the house that I need to bring some Cadbury chocolates, the reason why I brought  home some choco bars.

For your information, Cadbury World is a one-way self-guided tour. It is now considered to be  one of Birmingham's largest leisure attractions.

You can find a lot  souvenir items, chocolates, kids stuffs, etcetera at Cadbury's shop.

Visit to Kallmünz Castle Ruins, Bavaria, Germany

I am finally here again for an update. Spain vacation is over and now I am back to my normal life. It's been almost two weeks now since I am back home.

Let me share some images I took from Kallmünz last 2009. I actually visited this castle for a lot of times. Sometimes we pass it by when we are on our way to Regensburg driving over the so-called "Landstrasse", called by American friends as back road. It is around 18-20 kilometers from Hohenfels US training area.

There is a castle ruin in this town. The Germans called it the Burgruine or the Kallmünzer Burg. It is located on top of the hill. You can have a very nice view of Kallmünz and its surroundings when you are on the top.

The castle ruins that we see today in Kallmünz was said to begin its construction between 1230-1250. The architecture was from Roman to Gothic during its construction.

You can find some information of this castle in this link below. Sad to say, it is in German.

These photos were taken during our visit last April 2009.

View of Budapest from the Fisherman's Bastion

Hello! Hello! It's been awhile since I did not updated this little home of mine. I finally had the chance today. Here is an image taken in Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. We were there last summer 2011. It was a quite a very nice trip after seeing some historical sights from this city.

The Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral in Cebu City, Philippines

This is the The Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral located in Cebu City, Philippines. It is the ecclesiastical seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cebu. The construction of this cathedral started in 1689 by Bishop Diego de Aguilar.

This is is one of the sites that is worthy to visit in Cebu. This image was taken during my vacation last 2010.
The architecture of the church is typical of Spanish colonial churches in the country, namely, squat and with thick walls to withstand typhoons and other natural calamities.

WW: The Lake at Kratzmuehle

This is the lake in Kratzmuehle where we visited last August 01, 2009. There are a lot of people who always do camping in this area. It is also a resort at the same time. This is only a part of the lake. I am wondering why the water is so green.

Looking at The Sky in Amsterdam, Netherlands

How are you doing folks? It's been awhile since I did not update this blog. If you don't see me here, you can try to visit my other blogs. I am slowly back to the blogosphere now. I still don't feel like updating my blogs all the time. I am still having a little jet lag from our Europe trip last month. At least, I am slowly coming back. I can't find a better image from my files to share here. I still need to organize the images I took during our tour last month.

Below is an image I took at the port of Amsterdam, the capital city of Netherlands. We had a cruise there during our trip. Amsterdam is like Venice, a city on water. More travel images in my travel sites. Have a wonderful weekend ahead. Thanks to all friends and visitors who keep on viewing and visiting my blogs.

Inambakan Falls Cebu, Philippines

This is a great place to stay especially when you are having a very hot summer day like what we have now. Sad to say, I am thousand miles away from here. This is Inambakan Falls in Ginatilan, a town in South Cebu, Philippines. I had been there once during my vacation to the Philippines this year. What a lovely place to relax here!

Inambakan Falls is said to my 30 meters long. The water is so clear and clean in here.

Little Fountain

We visited this place last weekend. I was wondering why there are already some wood fences in this area surrounding this fountain. Now I know because they have some goats for sightseeing to kids and children. That small fountain can be bigger when there are big activities and festivals in this area. That's my little update for now for my memes today. Have a wonderful day!

Flowers from Neumarkt, Germany

It seems that I was away here for quite some days. I am back here now and sharing these photos I took today during our visit to the 150th founding anniversary of Fire Brigade in Neumarkt in Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany. You can also see the colourful buildings in the background of the first picture. That white triangle building is the city hall of Neumarkt. You can also noticed the cobbled stones in the old city of this city. It was quite cold today as we witnessed the Fire Brigade with around 115 groups participating the parade. More photos will be found in my Explore Germany site soon. Have a great week ahead!

My World in Siegestor or Victory gate in Munich, Germany

I had seen this architecture for some times already.The Siegestor or Victory Gate in Munich is a three-arched triumphal arch crowned with a statue of Bavaria with a lion-quadriga, similar in style to the Arch of Constantine in Rome, the Marble Arch in London, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin. It is located between the Ludwig Maximilian University and the Ohmstraße, on the intersection of the Leopoldstrasse and the Ludwigstrasse.

Here is the picture I took last November 2009.

Feel free to visit Wordless Wednesday and World Tuesday to join and see more photos! Have a great one especially to all participants of these memes!
HISTORY

The gate was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, designed by Friedrich von Gärtner and completed by Eduard Mezger in 1852. The quadriga was created by Martin von Wagner. The gate was originally dedicated to the glory of the Bavarian army (dem bayerischen Heere zum Ruhme). Today the Siegestor is a monument and reminder to peace. After sustaining heavy damage in World War II, the gate was - similar to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin - reconstructed and restored only partially. The inscription on the back side is by Wilhelm Hausenstein and reads Dem Sieg geweiht, vom Krieg zerstört, zum Frieden mahnend, which translates as "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, reminding of peace". In the last couple of years, the statues that remained were meticulously cleaned and restored. The Siegestor is 21 meters high, 24 Meters wide, and 12 meters deep. wikipedia
