Underground Museim In Albert, France
#historic #historical #museum #france #worldwar1 #history #educational
Many of us were not involved in War World 1 which happened during the early 1900(1914-1918). For educational purposes, if you are visiting Albert In Somme, France you should visit the Somme 1916 Museum where this is an underground museum on how the soldiers love their life during the world war one.
There are some artifacts left behind by the war being showcase, old guns and bonnet, soldiers uniform, food trays and many other weapons that we do not use anymore in the modern days. This is one iconic museum as it is located in the tunnel. Along some of the areas, especially when the lights are dimmed, you can feel abit errie.
If you are interested, do get your tickets on trip.com as getting on site is abit more expensive.

Sunday Stroll along the Singapore River…
#singapore
A trip to Singapore would not be complete without a stroll along the historic Singapore River, which explains why this scenic strip is a favourite with tourists! The Singapore River Walk is mandatory, in my opinion, on every visitor’s itinerary!
Even locals love the picture perfect backdrops this river walk affords, with boats plying up and down water that flows between gleaming skyscrapers on one side and colonial architecture on the other. History and modernity sharing the glory with the vital artery that pumps life into the heart of this Little Red Dot…

TIVOLI Gardens : Day & Night 🎡
I have visited Tivoli Gardens twice this year and it’s wonderful just under the sun, especially spring time when flowers blooming. But what truly makes this historic attraction and unique unforgettable icon is its transformation when the sun sets..
By day it’s wonderful however At night, Tivoli becomes a glowing and sparkling fairytale wonderland of lights and illumination. 🌟
Tivoli opened in 1843, which means it has two hundred years of history behind this amazing place. The park’s lush green and well kept gardens to classic cafes and restaurants, this celebrated institution that has brought generations of families back for time on going traditional values.

Cooktown(Gungardie)Kuku Yalanji Land❤️💛🖤
Getting There - There are two main routes for getting to Cooktown from Cairns including a 331km inland route which takes 4 hours to complete as well as a 234km coastal route which, despite being shorter in length, takes up to 6 hours to complete but rewards you with some amazing scenery. For the inland route, begin by taking the Kennedy Highway out of Cairns, passing through the scenic town of Kuranda before continuing on to Mareeba. From here, take the Mulligan Highway north, allowing time to stop at the many scenic lookouts along the way for stunning views of the lush valleys and sparse hillsides.
Attractions - A breathtakingly beautiful and still relatively unspoilt region of the Cape York Peninsula, the remoteness of Cooktown is at once part of its attraction, as is its long and fascinating history from its early Aboriginal inhabitants to the arrival of Captain Cook on the Endeavour River in 1770. Home to a raw beauty that makes it one of the last true wilderness frontiers in Australia, there are limited options for getting to Cooktown, with the most common method being to drive.
Hotels - Would highly recommend Coral Sea Allure - Your Home Away From Home, Best view of the Cooktown river and best view of the sunrise and sunset in the morning and afternoon and a perfect location close to the markets and town.
Food & Restaurants - Bektopia is the closest breakfast shop to your Airbnb with affordable prices and fresh rice bowls and toasted wraps with your choice of coffee or smoothies absolutely delicious and in town there is a variety of options to choose from for your lunch or dinner.
Shopping - There are many souvenir, gift shops, indigenous art galleries and a museum in Cooktown, A convenient store and a couple of fuel stations and of course the Aussie favourite is the pubs 🍻 there isn’t really much for shops because it’s a small town but the view and the quiet historical area is really something 💕

Historic central hotel
The Hotel International is a comfortable hotel located right at the center of the city. You'll be rewarded with lovely views of the square below and bygone era decorated rooms which add to its allure.
The rooms themselves are cozy but nothing luxurious. They're big enough and like mentioned before have a great view of the city, making it central to most attractions. If coming from the airport, you're a 5 min walk away from the bus stop.
There was also breakfast included and there was a nice selection of food. There's also a nice terrasse which is great to have you out on if the weather is nice.
The staff are also very kind, helpful and professional. A great overall stay!

Hiking At Casuarina Coastal Reserve
Many says darwin is a boring place to be, there is nothing to do and it's a small city. But I've to disagree, it's a place for outdoor enthusiasts where there are several hiking places with easy gradient walks like the casuarina coastal reserve located at
445 Trower Rd, Brinkin NT 0810.
You will see many locals here doing their strolls, runs and even cycle since this is a nicely pathed place with history back in the days during the world war 2. Remembrance of the soldiers who fought and died in the war, many sandstone cliffs that changes colours in the sunlight, many pinic spots. The entire trials takes approximately 120 - 180mins in and out. Its a well tracked path, so you need not worry to be alone.

A Snippet Video Of Entering Into Alcatraz
Alcatraz Island is a popular tourist attraction when coming to the United States. You will even see locals from all around America come visiting this place.
This place is only successive via ferry, and for people with sea sickness, fret not as the water is rather calm and the ferry is a much bigger ferry it will tend to rock lesser. This is a must visit if you are visiting San Francisco and your trip will never be complete without it.
To expedite your trip and a smoother flow, I do recommend to get your cruise ticket online as there might be some discounts available, it might also be available on trip.com with you claiming of points if it isn't sold out. For us, we had to endure the long queues as we have forgotten to buy the ferry tickets for the island, so don't forget!
