Rome - Day II

Musei Vaticani 

On the second morning we went to the Musei Vaticani. I had made an online reservation which was really good. There was a long queue even before the museum opened. Nice feeling to walk  past it

Rome - Day I

When I left the Metro station "Colosseo" in the first afternoon in Rome, I was overwhelmed with so many impressions. After my experience in Paris, I  hadn`t expected to find the Colosseum right in front of me, just across the street. Then there were a lot of tourists, taking pictures, speaking in many different languages. And there`s the Italian traffic, of course.

Vilsalpsee. Lake and forest in early spring. Some impressions.

Two weeks ago I went to the Vilsalpsee with my family. You can see the lake above. Well, actually you can`t. It`s under the snow.
We didn`t spend much time together. The others were walking ahead and I stayed behind to take photos. Then I walked rather quickly to catch up with the others and I contuinued in this speed, left them behind until I stopped for another photo. If you take a lot of photos yourself, you probably know this process. And how annoyed the others can get after a while.
Be that as it may, here are some of the pictures:

Paris day III

At 8.00 a.m. on the third day of my trip, I went to the Champs de Mars to take some pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower

 

No need to spend the money to go up there, as the view is probably the same as nine years ago. But I promised a friend to send her a photo from there.
It was really nice at that time, because there were hardly any tourists. Just some people looking as tired as I felt and the ever present military.
