A-Z Blogging Challenge 2025 - E is for Entertainment

As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest, these could be lumped into a "peculiar category" ie. they are peculiar to my interests and may be different from what one usually sees in a collection of travel photos.

For the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in 2025 my theme is Peculiar Pics. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Peculiar Pics from my digital albums. These will be sourced from my travels between April 2024 to March 2025.

Travel provides us with many opportunities to be educated, enthused and entertained. In this post I'll concentrate on some of the performances we have enjoyed in the past year.

A train ride took us to see Sister Act - Capitol Theatre, Sydney

We always include a show or two on our London itineraries.
Les Miserables - West End, London, England

What a hoot - Mrs Doubtfire - Shaftesbury Theatre, London, England

Kiss Me Kate - Barbican Centre, London, England

It was a kitschy show but a Strauss concert at Musikverein is a must in Vienna, Austria.

Divos and Divas Show - Seven Seas Splendor

Berlin by boat

19 October, 2012

We have had an amazing four days in Berlin assisted by unseasonally warm weather. Our hotel, The Radisson Blu, is fabulous and well-situated (for a change I chose well - thank you Trip Advisor for your assistance) on the River Spree and next to Unter den Linden.

We have done a combo of bus tours (hopon hopoff) and losts of walking around this city that is a major construction zone.  This morning we opted for a 1 hour cruise down the Spree to gain a different perspective on the city.

Here are a few happy snaps from that excursion.

Multitasking 

Parliamentary Library 

Do the right thing - Berlin style (I think)

Radisson Blu

Oldest Church in Berlin - St Nicholas

Domed church on left is my fave building

Large map of Berlin with prominent places pinned

We went under lots of bridges

Worker salute

Reichstag

Angele Merkel's office - known locally as the washing machine

Double decker bridge links parliamentary buildings

Most of this bridge survived bombing in the war

Autumn leaves - a novelty for an Australian
