hehehe: I don't think they even serve coffee....
People in the governement have made a law that coffee shops can't be in 250mtrs around a school. But otherwise they are allowed to exist.
The Anne Frank House is indeed a kind of museum. It is the place where she and her family hid in the war for the Germans. It is called Het Achterhuis, the behind House..(?) It is an appartement with a few rooms hidden behind an office. It is still the same as it was when Anne lived their.
Everyone should read her diary, it is a very close look into history.

Nice thread... OK ... here's some stuff for you.....
Colchester Castle.... Colchester is one of Britain's oldest recorded towns... it was also the capital of England before London was.... a very very long time ago
The castle was ordered by William the Conqueror, designed by Siward, Bishop of Rochester, it's a Norman Castle and was completed in the year 1100.
I can't remember who showed you pics of Hampton Court Flower Show... but I remember going to the palace for a school trip when I was 10...
Hampton Court Maze .... I remember getting completely lost in it when I was 10.... I was scared I wouldn't ever get out and I'd miss my bus home.... thankfully someone came and found me....
My fave place in London.... Covent Garden....
I'll probably think of some more later on....

Oh what a good idea ! love that thread
I love travelling, so this thread is so nice to know more about Mfcers and also to discover new places in the world !
You shared very nice pics ! thanks guys...
Well, I'm from St Malo, a little town with a huge history, in Brittany (West of France) I'm very proud of my town and I love it, even if I don't live there anymore because of my studies, but I love go back at my parent's home !
Views of the town
the Castle
and Stormy weather !!! ( with big tides, the sea goes over the road, it's really impressive. And we have one of the biggest tides of Europe. )
and at about 50 kms we have the Mont Saint Michel
et voilà !
I hope you enjoyed it !
Next !...

In that neighbourhood all the streets are named after women. I think it has something to do with that. .
All those places are so beautiful !! Now I know where I have to go when I'll go visit one of those countries. .
