Photos from your Travels anywhere in Europe..Taken By You

Speaking of sweets in Belgium, my first time there in 2006 I had this:

Great pictures Holly and Ameriscot, they are interesting and educational for me because
I have not been financially able to do much traveling.

Ameriscot, you must be proud and happy to have a picture you took on the cover of a magazine.
I'd be thrilled!

I am thrilled. It's my third!

I never made a high salary and thought I might be elderly by the time I could save up enough to go to Europe, something I'd wanted to do since I was a teen.

At the age of 46 I had $4,000 saved up as I wanted to move to a coast - probably NC. But decided f••• it. I'm not waiting till I'm old. Took all my savings and went to Ireland for two glorious weeks. Rented a car not having a clue how to drive there.

A year and a half later moved to Scotland to marry a Scot I'd fallen in love with. :love_heart:
 
What beautiful pictures. Thank you both. They all look as if they come right out of a storybook. Have never been to Europe, but maybe one day. Just lovely.
 
Oh I believe it AS..I take photos of my food as well if it looks nice...

If I can sit for longer than 15 minutes at a time today I'll add some more pics...
 
A bit OT here but some photos I took in Thailand re drinks:

Now back to your regularly scheduled European pics. :D
 
Oh Little owl I also have loads of Pictures of the Nerja Caves, I've been there a couple of times it's not far from where my daughter lives ..it's a stunning wondrous place...but OMG the amount of stairs you have to climb to get out of the at the end of the tour is a killer.. my legs were like water by the time we got out..god Help anyone older or less fit than me.. :D

Where I took the pictures that was as far as I got. I would not have got that far if it had not been for Christine and a friend half carrying me.
But It is a awesome sight.
I was told by a local that the caves built Nerja . After two school boys told there teacher about them. He also said Nerja had not even got any roads up till then.
The Hotel I was in was built for tourists. So was the Harbour. We were told it is pronounced NerHa.
 
Yep everything you say is correct Littleowl..it's is pronounced NerHa..all J's in Spanish are pronounced like an H...for example..jesus is pronounced Hey soos ..

It's also absolutely true that the schoolchildren discovered it...but the Caves are absolutely huge... and that's just the part the public can go in...they are about twice as big again, but the other half is under preservation..

I have never stayed in a hotel in Nerja, never needed to of course but I've seen hundreds of them the many times I've been to Nerja. It started off as a tiny fishing village..and now it's one of the busiest tourist resorts in Southern Spain...I'll see if I can find some pictures that I've taken there.. :D
 
Do you recognise this Littleowl?..it's the little park area adjoining the entrance to the caves..
