Many of my recent journeys I did together with my good old friend Klaus Trummer. That’s why I asked him if he would like to join me again on my trips to London and Paris in May 2010. Our common interest in photography was a good basis for the various activities we undertook in these 2 cities. For his customers - mainly teachers in Austrian schools - Klaus even kept a diary of his adventures during his travels which you can read here. Due to lack of time for translation the diary is in German only. We started our journey with a visit in London. Klaus headed for London a few days before me and had already taken lots of photos when I arrived at London Gatwick on June 5th. The weather forecast for the upcoming days sounded really bad - rain and thunderstorm were expected. The reality was then a little more gracious with us - no thunder and lightning and only short showers of rain. That’s why we were able to take some nice pictures from this beautiful city which you can admire on the next pages. During our travel with the Eurostar we crossed the Channel and reached again the European mainland. After 2 hours 20 we arrived at our second travel destination - Paris, the beautiful city at the banks of the Seine. The weather was again rather unsettled, but in general we were lucky and had only to pause for half a day while it was heavily raining. Paris is always worth a visit and this time again the city managed to astonish me with all their sights and events. I hope you are curious to see some of the photos which I took during the 5 days stay in this marvellous city.
