I've been on a plane more times than I can remember now I think the first one I went on was back in the 1990's (well after 1992 as I wasn't even born before then unless I was somehow caught in a temporal shift lol) I must admit the short flights have gone downhill over time as there are no longer any films to watch and you don't even get the little map showing you where about you are flying over.
But the sensation of lifting off the ground thats something that to be honest will never get boring and still amazes me at how far as a species we've come that we can send people en mass into the air with their luggage and cargo onboard truly amazing. Whats taken animals centuries to adapt and grow new limbs to help them fly we ignore the evolutionary stages and build ourselves something that can make us travel faster than a Cheetah, fly higher than a bird and go down as far as a whale truly we are an amazing species.

Taking off is really an amazing experience, but landing and get to know new countries is even greater :D

Watching the change of scenary from the air is always fun as well, as in Britain the fields are always a deep green and brown patchwork but whenever I go abroad they are always different shades of brown and I always wonder how it can be the same planet when there are such extreme contrasts in enviornments.

Re: My European SummerTrips
They're all pretty spectacular although the best would have to be the view from the eiffle tower as you can just see for miles and miles

Anyways, hope you enjoy!^^

Ah ah, I remember having that same though stuck on my head as climbing :p And trying not to look down
Louvre is definetely a must in Paris if you like art, if not it's probably just very boring :p
It's not very expensive bearing in mind that it's just HUGE inside, the only problem are lines, but still me and my family got there less than 1 hour before the opening time and didn't have much people ahead
I love art :) The National Gallery in London is one of my top museums that I have visited. My favourite painting there is "Tiger in a tropical storm" by Henri Rousseau. My parent s get quite annoyed when we go there as I spend at least 5 minutes just staring at that painting...I love it so much! :P It's also in the same room as Vincent Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" which is another favourite of mine!
Another amazing thing about museums in London is that they are all free admission! :)
