Unique findings during my Europe trip

Sorry for the long hiatus as I was in Europe for my holiday trip.
Just to update that wix.com has been revived as it surfaced certain problems.
I have addressed them and hence please click on this link to be redirected to the full website:
Toilet located in an enclosed area which cost 50 euro cents. (approx $0.80) 
Slot in coins to enter :D
Europe has limited free entry to toilets. Some examples of where they locate would be e.g. departmental stores as well as cafes which you have to dine in and as a result city toilets is conveniently located to address your needs.
They also have innovative technology to sanitise the area for the next use. So amazing!

Europe is totally an art city! 
I love this border gallery that creative and innovative people portrays their drawings and graffiti painting!


Trains are on land and just travelling beside cars. But i love this concept so much because you can get the fullest experience of sightseeing.


The birds are not scared of humans, its the "human" who is afraid of them :D


I love the clock towers. Designs seem familiar on what I had seen in designer shops. Pretty old school and impressive.

Swans and ducks love to be in the river. 





Europe is chocolate city!!! Haha! Here you can find really affordable chocolates!
If you appreciate chocolatier you can support this christmas market vendors as they flaunt their unique chocolate work piece.


Horses are used as a form of transportation.
Tourist are usually their target audience.
They would be situated near places of interest so don't forget to check them out.
I really love the "old school" buildings!

- END -
Here are some of my unique memories in Europe. 
Will share a part 2. 
Thank you for your earnest support dear readers!
