Mussel Bay

A beautiful spot for lunch

Good Morning from Arniston South Africa

Notice the beautiful Dutch limewashed cottages where we stayed. Also behind me is the Springbock Atlas bus. Arniston is named for the English ship which wrecked off the coast in 1815. Of 360 on board, only 6 survived. It was the deadliest crash in history and would only be superseded by the Titanic 67 years later. The town is known for A waterfront cave that is only accessible during low tide.

The Karl Marx Haus Trier, Germany



This was the statue at the back of the Karl Marx Haus in Trier, Germany.
It was a beautiful Baroque building but was filled with placards explaining the life of Marx, it had few actual items related to the life of Marx. It was very popular with the Chinese tourists.
