Travel Feature: Norwich Castle - Norwich, England

Norwich Castle is a medieval royal fortification built by the Normans about 900 years ago. It was intended to be a palace and was constructed under the orders of William the Conqueror.

As some of you dear readers know, we are currently in the UK. My husband's family live in one of the villages near the city of Norwich in Norfolk, England. Norwich is a lovely city always buzzling with shoppers and passers-by. I love that it blends both the modern and the medieval in one place.
A quick exploration will show you cobbled streets lined with Tudor houses, medieval castle and cathedral all within striking distance of trendy malls and restaurants. For this trip, we decided to visit the Norwich Castle. Photo above shows William and Sophie near the entrance to the castle.

Food and Travel Feature: Munich & Berlin, Germany 2015

This is part 4 of our Food and Travel series 2015 featuring the places we visited during our tour of Europe in August. We are featuring two cities here - Munich and Berlin. There is so much to show and learn about these fascinating cities and our quick tour is not enough to cover them all. This is simply a quick overview of what can be seen there. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy browsing through.  This photo was taken at Marienplatz - a central square in the center of Munich. It has been the city's main square since 1158 and this was the place where we began our tour.
