Music in Ghent's "cultuurkapel"

Posted: 28 May 2016 05:11 AM PDT

Bruges is not the only city in Belgium to have beautiful canals. I particularly enjoyed my walk along the Sint-Antoniuskaai in Ghent last Sunday afternoon, on my way to attend a recital in the Cultuurkapel.

The concert featured my favourite cellist, the highly talented young Belgian, Paul Heyman, with the phenomenal pianist, Isil Bengi. They gave us an electrifying show with masterful execution of Schubert, Pärt, Brahms, and Piazzolla, leaving the audience at the edge of their seats. At the end of each song, they were met with roaring applause and rightfully so.

Buddha park of Ravangla

Posted: 28 May 2016 08:46 AM PDT

Ravangla is a small town between Gangtok and Pelling. This place was not in my itinerary but our driver Sonam insisted that the Buddha park a Ravangla is a nice place to visit. It is also locally known as "Tathagata Tsal".

The main attraction is the statue of big Buddha in the park. The views around the park is also good. The entrance fees to the park is Rs 150 for adults. It is free for kids. The park also has a vegetarian restaurant and also a lodge.

QUEEN VICTORIA arrives in Stavanger

1:07 AM Stavanger Daily Photo

QUEEN VICTORIA arrived in Stavanger yesterday..... well...the cruise ship..
Nearly 2000 passengers and more than 900 crew members looked like they were happy to see our city.

It felt a bit crowded from time to time in the narrow little streets in the centre of the city.

I spoke with a couple from Devon/England, who needed help to read the map and find Old Stavanger.
They had had a fantastic trip, seen the FJORDS, several days of sun, and "even got a bit of a nice tan" as the wife put it.

(I did not say a word about the rain, the wind and the temperatures we sometimes call summer....)

The day was to be enjoyed!

Late afternoon, Queen Victoria headed out the fjord again to go back to Southampton.
