.a honeymoon in europe.

some pics of paris - taken with my diana camera

a freezing first day in paris, and a picnic under the eiffel tower

the eiffel tower - from pont alexandre III

more shoes than there are feet in paris

riding around the streets of paris

watching the final of the tour de france

one of my favourite bits: a walk through a flower market by notre dame.  the moulin rouge, on the other hand, was nothing to write home about...

the mona lisa - popular much?

pont alexandre III - a popular site in most movies that have been filmed here

we decided to take it easy this particular time abroad.  last year we went to morocco and egypt which was hectic, dusty and mind-boggling, so we decided to try a bit of europe in the summertime.  

we spent a week in paris, a week in amsterdam and a day in brussels.

some pics from amsterdam:

 our daily ritual: ice cream in sugar cones and picnics along the canals

missing my bulldog at home / a tour through the heineken museum

amsterdam is a city of bicycles.  never seen so many in my life

one of the best flea markets we've ever been to

amsterdam by night - one of the safest cities around these days

the red light district
