The Catacombs of Paris

The Catacombs of Paris are a truly remarkable place, and if you've ever needed a reminder that everyone is the same, then a place where the skeletons of six million people remain should surely do it.

After a bunch of sink holes started collapsing buildings in Paris, people thought it'd be a good idea to maybe reinforce the foundations of the city, and that perhaps the mining of limestone from beneath the city could be responsible for the aforementioned destruction.

Whilst there's only a limited number of avenues with skeletons, there's a labyrinthine network of tunnels underneath the city.

Overall the Catacombs are awesome, but it's pretty depressing to see that some scumbags have vandalised some skulls.  What would motivate someone to do that is beyond me.

If you're ever in Paris, definitely check it out.

Zwaantje

Lisey REALLY loves ducks!

Lisey REALLY loves ducks!

Lisey really loves all things Dutch... and ducks.

One of the first words she taught me in Dutch is "Zwaantje", pronounced Sv-an-ch-e

It's reached a point now where in my head I no longer think of them in English as Swans, but 'Zwaantjes'

Maastricht

Maastricht almost cannot be a real place - it looks far too much like a film set.  Point a camera in any direction and you'll get gold.
