Wien

From November 16th to the 18th my father, Leo and I went to visit my grandpa in Vienna




The St. Stephen's Cathedral.

The lower Schloss Belvedere.

The Upper Schloss Belvedere.



This a way to fold the napkin. It is only allowed to be on the table when there is a king or a queen. Only 2 people know how to fold it (and they keep the secret). It is still used when a royal highness is visiting Vienna.

Lisbon





Since you could see very fare from the hills and the beaches, there were always really beatyfull sunsets (and sunrises, if we would have had the energy to wake up early enough)



We went on top of the arch in the famouse Terreiro do Paço


We went to visit an old Castle on the top of the hill. It had an awesome view, and it was pretty cool to walk around in the ruins. While climbing on the ruins, the handraill did not really help at all, since it was only about 2 foot high. I was actually more afraid so (to trip and fall over it) then I would have been without it.





On our last Day we went to Belém to visit the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower (both are listed as UNESCO World Heritage)





Singapore





The view from the Maria Bay Store.
We were all just waiting for the Lightshow.







This was in Chinatown. It was kind of a shopping mall, but it had only those booth, which had all basically the same stuff (it was still very cool)



From the front you usually dont see how many air conditioners a building has.


Maria Bay Garden


The next day, we walked the same route we did the night before. It was more spectacular in the night.



They build this concert hall, imitating the fruit Durian. I have never tried it, but it is supposed to be really smelly since, it s prohibited to take it inside the hotels and the MRT (their metro).




We went on the Sentosa Island, which is where the Universal Studio is. We just walked around the Island, since the adventure Park was too expensive.

On our last evening, we went on top of the Maria Bay Hotel. It has an amazing view =)
