Mrupupup went to Sydney, Australia. This is Day 1 of the travel log of what Mrupupup did and saw in Day 1 in the beautiful city of Sydney. Arrived in Sydney Airport Visited Sydney's Crown Street, Circular Quay (with Harbour Bridge) and Queen Victoria Building (High end shopping area). Also went to see the lighted buildings - Customs House, Opera House and various light installations for the famous Sydney light showcase - 'Vivid Sydney'. Vivid Sydney Light Festival

Mrupupup visited the famous UNESCO site in France - Mount Saint Michel. The place is famous for the church sited on top of a rocky tidal island and the religious community. Located at the Normandy area in France, it will be tricky to go there unless you are travelling on a package tour. Well, Mrupupup went there by local transportation. First, I stayed in Saint Malo for a night, then I bought the train and bus package for about 21 euros (two ways) to Mount Saint Michel. Try to buy early at the SNCF train station at Saint Malo. If you don't speak French, its ok just point to the brochure of Mount Saint Michel. I am quite surprised that every transport (bus and train) runs on time in France.                                                  Mount Saint Michel Mount Saint Michel is special because of its location. When high tides come in, the whole place will be surrounded with water. If one were to go around the area during low tide, you can see the tidal sands and mud flats. Do p

Saint Malo in France is a famous walled city and famous fortress for wars in Britanny area of France. One can take the TGV train (fast train) from Paris to Saint Malo (about 3 hours journey). Saint Malo is a beautiful place and not so crowded with tourists like Paris. One can relax, enjoy the very nice beach, have a big pot of mussels (cheap and value for money) served by friendly people, oysters, savoury crepes (yummy!) and walk one round around the city via the walled section. Mrupupup stayed in a nice hotel inside the walled city, was nice and peaceful there. Enjoy the sun rise in the port area and see seagulls flying. Enjoy my photos and video, if you got a chance, do try to spend a few days at Saint Malo, France.

Mrupupup went to France. Visited their famous capital Paris! "Pa-yreee" Well, Mrupupup kind of disappointed by the hype over Paris. It is a nice city but it is not safe and kind of chaotic. The plus points of Paris are the beauitful world class museums, palaces, nice churches and shopping for branded goods. The downside of the city are the people which maybe stressed out over life, creaky old metro trains, crowds of people from all over the world, and small hotel rooms in the city centre. Nevertheless, Paris is still beautiful in its own way. Enjoy the photos of Paris.                      Eiffel Tower under Mrupupup's finger tips                            Eiffel Tower has shrunk!!!                                  Old style Citroen France car                        Famous Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris      Inside the Notre Dame Cathedral - Beautiful Glass Windows                                     Invalides Building                The Eygptians gave

Mrupupup now realise why people say Switzerland is a beautiful country. Mrupupup visited Lucerne and Mount Titilis in Switzerland. Really envy the Swiss people. I wish I can ski down the slopes every weekend and take a walk along the beauitful Lucerne Lake. Think words cannot capture the beauty of this land locked country of high Swiss Alps mountains and lakes. Only photos and videos would help to capture the beauty that Mrupupup witnessed in his trip to Switzerland.
