Highclere Castle which is the location for Downton Abbey. If you check it out on line, you learn that only some of the rooms are decorated. There are about 46 which are almost derelict.











Salisbury Cathedral which has the tallest spire in England. It houses one of the four original copies of the Magna Carta.






















These pics are at Penzance. We stayed very close to the beach here.




The Beach resort of St Ives. It is a very arty village and very cute. We had a food session in a pub on the beach here.







Cobbled lanes are very common here and gardens in pots right on the street.



In the pub




View from the pub door




Other side of the beach a St Ives.




Cottage by the sea. You almost expect Captain Pugwash to come out the door.



St Michaels Mount which you can walk to at low tide or ferry across.




The ferry and it cost £1.00








Beach cottages in Marazion where you catch the Ferry




Approaching the castle




In the turrets

















Scenes of the Castle.

Shots of the Minnack Theatre with the dramatic backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. The steps were hand carved out of the rock face by the lady owner and two male helpers. Attending a performance here is definitely on my bucket list.













Some of us decided to have our own performance!!!!







At Landsend the most remote piece of southern coast in the UK




Jumping around with the trip here. This is the old city in Salzberg.








Novel door bells at the entrance to some apartments. These two naughty boys were ringing them!




Street scene in Saltzburg







Window displays of the designer traditional costume which is quite commonly worn. They were absolutely lovely.




A rock fortress we visited




The view from the fortress of the Danube and valley. So pretty




Typical mountain scenes. This was taken from the fortress again. So we are quite elevated.




We stayed in the village near this church. It is unusual because of its double spires.




Gorgeous window displays in Saltzburg




We walked up this most beautiful rock gorge where some of the rock sides were so close you had to tip your head right back to see the sky.











Three thousand years of water eroding rock!




Houses along the Rive Bank in Passau, Germany




Cruise boats on the Danube




Passau village scenes

True baroque style architecture on a hotel door in Germany.










St Stephens Church with the largest organ in Europe. There are 19,000 pipes. We heard it play. Quite amazing.




The ceiling in the church - once again very baroque.
