A shot of the markets, the ferris wheel the background.


Anna checking out the city scape


More of the light show.


Ferris Wheel looked great at light.

Brussells

Amazing light show in the Grand Place (a square in the middle of Brussells city). There was music and heaps of people around, freezing cold though.


The hotel we stayed at in Brussells (5 star) very nice. Got a great deal through eurostar.


This was taken from up on the ferris wheel, looking down at the Christmas markets and ice skating rink.


Anna walking toward the music instrument museum.

Ice Skating - Natural History Museum

It was cold, but raining this night so the ice and the ice skater were a bit wet.


The fairy lights in the trees was quite a sight and the NHM all lit up in a green glow.


Kerry and Anna all rugged up


 

London Christmas Lights

Down one of the side streets off oxford st. Huge versions of normal light bulbs


The Debenham shop (English Department chain) all done up


Anna hanging out on a clear bit of sidewalk, pretty rare for this area.


Another Department Store, John Lewis. You can see Debenham (the red) in the distance on the left.

The view out the kitchen window, the silver shed building on the right is a gym - the swimming pool.

Just stones, not a grain of sand to be seen.....


More of the boardwalk, pretty touristy but good to see the ocean after so many months.

Lots of Egyptian stuff (quite amazing)




A huge clock section - works through the history of mechanisms.
