Sainte-Chapelle - Dainty and Pretty
One of the prettiest churches I have ever seen.
There are 15 stained-glass windows that are separated by narrow columns that soar up to the ceiling which is studded by golden stars against a blue background.
There is a lower chapel was was originally the place for servants and commoners to worship – now mostly taken over by the gift shop.
This church is indeed one of the ‘must sees’ on the Ile de la Cité. It is a beautiful church. After our visit we walked around to the Conciergerie which has more brutal past.

Halong Bay – Just Cruising
Halong Bay is a beautiful bay in Northern Vietnam about 100 kms from Ho Chi Min City. There are over 1,600 islands in the bay and almost as many cruise boats offering a wide variety of experiences.
As you cruise through the bay in one of the famous ‘junk boats,’ you’ll pass by countless towering limestone rock formations surrounding the luxury cruise ship. The bay was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 and is today one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Vietnam.
Serra San Bruno – Mountain High
Serra San Bruno is high up in the mountains of Southern Italy. You get there on a twisting road that snakes up through the highland forests.
Trees hang over the road to create a tunnel that filters the sun and cools the air. Snow signs warn that, in winter, this could be a more tortuous trail.
Park Guell, Barcelona
The park was originally intended as a sub-division for the wealthy and architect Gaudi was hired to design the layout. Now it’s a park.
