Last one for Europe 2012!
Christmas tree and the palace by day. It snowed quite a bit overnight. Snow everywhere…

Europe 2013: Day 7
I realised that I haven’t finished blogging about my European trip last year. Oh well. Almost done though! There’s only Amsterdam left 
Titling this “Day 7” because although we went to Amsterdam on this day (December 5), in the morning, Mum had to go present a paper at the conference in… some tiny tiny German town not far from Freiburg. I don’t remember where anymore. haha
Didn’t see much of the town except a few quiet roads near the conference venue. That yellow house really stands out…
Strasbourg
Yet another day trip out from Freiburg – this time to a French town called Strasbourg.
The Ill river runs through Strasbourg.
Freiburg
We spent five nights in Freiburg, Germany. It’s just a small town so there isn’t much to see there. Ended up mostly doing day trips out to various places – Zurich, Strasbourg, Titisee. And one day we just lazed around in Freiburg because it was too darned cold.
I did the most wandering on the morning of Day 3 in Freiburg, before we headed to Titisee. This view greeted me in the morning:
I’m really proud of this picture because it’s not every day that someone tells me this is one of the nicest photos they’ve ever seen.
Paris, France (3): The Louvre
I feel oddly obligated to finish all these posts about Paris (and London?) before Christmas. I don’t know why.
This post is going to be all about the Louvre so if art doesn’t interest you, er… go read something else. haha
Outside the Louvre.
Paris, France (2)
Let’s continue.
The Arc de Triomphe de L’Etoile again – at night, this time. Looks much better.
Paris, France (1)
The results of a day spent wandering about the touristy spots of Paris alone until evening. Nice to know that I’m capable of finding my way around alone if I want to. But I don’t want to again. Not alone. No way.
View from one of the bridges across the Seine. That’s Eiffel Tower far off in a distance.
Gent, Belgium
I don’t know if I should spell it as “Gent” or “Ghent.” But since I’ve labelled the pics with “Gent,” I’ll stick with that spelling in this post.
Gent is nice – if you haven’t already become inured to the sight of old European buildings, cathedrals and the like. Unfortunately, I am, somewhat. We were only there two nights, which was good in my opinion, since there wasn’t a great deal to see – especially in the cold, cold winter.
And this is a clock in my room. (I just thought the picture looked nice. *shrugs*)
