Travel theme: Fierce
Last year I visited the Kröller Müller museum in Otterlo, The Netherlands. A big part of the art is outside, when you walk up to the museum and in the huge sculpture garden. This is ‘wild boar’ from Piet Slegers. I think the statue looks incredibly fierce, especially with the…
Back in the day
I really hadn’t ever heard of it and it seems to be fairly new, the Historium in Bruges. I came across it when I was researching things to do in Bruges for my tour group. So when I was actually in Bruges, walking around, thinking about what to do, I…

A morbid day in Prague
Last minute some of us decided we wanted to see the Kutna Hora bone church. So in the morning we made our way to one of the tour company offices. It was a tiny office in a big building that obviously doesn’t usually get visitors. Luckily the friendly employees wanted…
