Excursion to Bruges!

5/22/2015

It was wonderful to visit the city of Bruges in the Flemish region of Belgium. Bruges is also known as The Venice of the North! I enjoyed myself and found the city to be memorable. While I was there I learned of the rich history of this area that I had not previously known. Bruges is a very small town that has much diversity. This city is loaded with history from the middle ages. Beautiful structures and medieval architecture are fascinating. During the summer time the tour included a boat ride through the canals that was very peaceful way of seeing the city. The cathedrals are beautiful and some of them reach as high as 122 meters. The one that stood out to me was made of red brick tower! When you go ensure that you take time to see the cathedrals they are just amazing! I visited the Bourg Square (Beguinage) and the Convent where nun’s whom are devoted to serving the church stay was very beautiful also. After your fulfilling day touring Bruges don’t forget to buy some of Bruges specialties such as handmade lace or chocolates. Also there is place where you can see or buy the home made beer and there is a vast selection. There are many more souvenirs of course. Bruges is also famous for being the home of the original Belgian Waffle! Many restaurants are also available at your choice. I encourage you to try Mussels with French fries! That is their specialty! Go and enjoy! It is a really great experience and a wonderful day tour in the country of Belgium!

Visit the Gardens at Giverny

5/15/2015

I am always thankful that I took a day trip to the home and work place of the famous artist Claude Monet! Giverny is located just fifty miles outside of Paris and makes for a delightful break from city. When I visited Giverny I was impressed with how well the staff take care of the gardens. Just to walk the grounds where Claude Monet did his famous paintings was refreshing and memorable. You can take the tour guided or just walk the grounds on your own. Just down the road from Monet’s property is a small village where you can stop and have a glass of wine or if you are like me you will treat yourself to a crape. The restaurant is family owned and they serve wonderful crapes. You will not find a McDonald’s in this part of France as the local population of Giverny is about five hundred. This day trip gives a nice break from the city life. So take time to see the home of one of the world’s most famous artist’s.

A day tour from Paris to London via Eurostar train. In two hours and ten minutes you are in the capital of England. London is one of the most cosmopolitan exciting cities in the world. I visited London many times, even though I have been there many times I always want to return. I love the British atmosphere and their sense of humor. I took a tour and visited all around the city. There are many pubs everywhere from St Pancras station throughout the capital. I took the bus tour on a double decker bus through the heart of London and was able to visit Buckingham Palace, we then drove by St James Park, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben Tower Bridge, Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus and of course the most well-known St Paul’s Cathedral. London is a great place to go for shopping and with surprisingly affordable prices. One of my favorite areas in all of London is Piccadilly Circus. It’s always a landmark for me as a meeting place. There are so many nice places to see. After your long tour take time to sit down and have a break while enjoying a cold fresh pint of beer. There is a huge selection that includes Guinness. If you are thinking about going to Europe make a list that includes a bus tour of London as one of your destinations. You will love it! Guarantee you will enjoy!

The most fascinating and unforgettable tours I ever had in my life. The tours of Israel are so many! I brought a small group of people with me to visit the Holy Land. Words are not enough to express how much I felt on that day. Our eight days of discovery were so very impressive and remarkable.
We discovered the places where Jesus had been and carried the cross. It is amazing to think that Christ had been here over 2000 years ago. The City of David. last supper. wall of lamentation the tomb of Jesus. Jericho. Masada Dead Sea. and all the churches in the surrounding area are wonderful to see in person. In Tel Aviv we had a great fun on the beach. while having a chance to relax. In Nineveh there is a place were Jonah was swallowed by the fish. Israel has a lot of things to offer and discover. I promise you when you go back home you will never feel the same. This is something that you will never forget. If you have a chance go and discover Israel! Experience the beauty of the Holy Land.
