So here are my #topnine liked photos for 2018. I am actually very surprised by the fact that 5 out of the 9 of the most liked photos are actually Brisbane photos. The others featured are Lake Rotoiti in New Zealand; interesting architecture in Melbourne; an iconic view of London and the best photo I have ever taken at Church of the Good Shepherd in New Zealand. Have you done your @topnine2018 yet? Were you surrpised by the results?

I am not sure why but I really like this photo I took in the Central Hall of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen. It just really appeals to me

On my latest jaunt to Europe I ended up doing 4 day trips & I've just written a blog post about them First up was Helsingør in Denmark - mainly because of the Shakespeare connection but came away loving this small Danish town. Then Warnemünde in Northern Germany - because I recently found out one of my GG Grandfathers was actually born there. Third was Strasbourg in France - I'd been wanting to go for sooooo long and it did not disappoint. Lastly Heidelberg in Germany - honestly probably my least favourite destination on this trip but still got to see some amazing views over the city. Do you take day trips on your travel? Do you think they are worth it or a waste of time?

One thing I noticed about Germany was all the pidgeons... they were everywhere. Anyway.. I am at the 'regret' stage of the post travel hindsight tour. As always, there is heaps I regret not doing..like not exploring Stuttgart, depsite having a free transport card & plenty of time. Like not enjoying Würzburg more coz I was in a funk after the train incident. Like not getting off the hoho bus in Munich in pretty places like because it was too cold & I couldn't be bothered at the time. Do you have 'hindsight moments' after travel when you are "in hindsight I should have..."? Or is it just me?

Since my last post I have struggled a bit. I posted a photo of Strasbourg & then hours later a gunman ruined the lives of countess people. It hit me harder than a) I expected & b) I care to admit Strasbourg was a massive highlight of my recent trip & it saddens me that there are people out there, for whatever reason, who decide one day to become a monster. There is no justification. There is no excuse. There is no understanding. Here is another photo of Strasbourg because it is a beautiful city and the people of Strasbourg don't deserve the sadness that has happened to them.

Are you sick of these photos yet? Hope not coz I have thousands of the things! This was from my day trip to Strasbourg, which to be honest I actually loved a heck of a lot more than I thought I would. Such a gorgeous town with amazing canal views like this. Have you visited a place that took you by surprise?
