A wonderful day, climbing Holy Mountain (Heiligenberg) near Heidelberg, Germany. I climbed the tower of a 1094AD cloister ruin. (Can you find me?). I think I need to improve my flying skills.

I had a wonderful day squawking it up in Strasbourg, France.
I learned a few things too.
Did you know the French National anthem called La Marseillaise was actually written in Strasbourg not Marseille? It’s true!

The Old Town of Shanghai which was formerly known as the Chinese city or Chinatown was the original core of Shanghai. Yuyuan Gardens and City God Temple are located in the centre of the Old City as well as many shops, restaurants and fast food places.
Dragon Well Tea is picked and produced by hand and pan roasted. It is found in Longjing Village which is in the Zhejiang Province of China near Hangzhou. This is the most famous of China’s green teas.
I saw many statues of guardian lions in China. I found out that lions really love chickens.
