Europe 7: Cruise Day 4

The moment I have been waiting for is going to Athens. Sadly it was a bit rainy and cloudy but we still to to do everything we wanted to do. Including the Acropolis which is photographed above. Behind me is the famous Pantheon. It's so weird thinking thousands and thousands of years the structure has lasted and how many people have walked and stood where I was. I sat on a rock thinking how many people through the years have sat on this rock thinking like me. It's a really amazing feeling and experience.

Now the Acropolis is a bit of a hike to get to the top of. As you can see in the photo above. You can see all of Athens from the very top. This photo isn't at the very top but it's pretty close. I just find such beauty in historical places. I love to just imagine how it looked in its prime. It is so incredible and I am so happy that I got to experience it. Who knows how long it could still be standing.

Then I got to go to the first Olympic stadium. Now we didn't have too much time and for me that was the only regret for this tour. I wish I could of stayed longer here. I got to walk up the steps and look around but I never got to go on the field. I guess that is something I can experience next time I visit Greece. I would love to go back and experience Athens again on my own and not on a guided tour. So I can take as much time as I want at each location.

Shanghai Museum & Chinese Buddhist Temple // Travel

I went to Shanghai a few months ago and I wanted to create some posts about the experience. The first day we were day we had a guided tour into Shanghai. Our first spot (the photo above) was the Shanghai Museum. This was a very busy museum and inside was so beautiful and they had so many different rooms full of history. It was really amazing and our tour guide was full of lots of information. I did this tour because I really didn't know anything about Shanghai besides the new Disney Park was there. I really love learning about the difference in culture and understanding their history of their city. The next stop he took us to was a Buddhist temple. Oh my goodness it was beautiful and amazing to see all the people coming into pray to the different gods. I also think it was amazing to see different tour groups from all over the world coming into here and being peaceful and respectful of the religion. I really got a full understand of Buddhism and I have to say it is an am

Shanghai Disney

One of the really unique things they have at Shanghai Disney is the Alice in Wonderland maze. The big attraction is the big queen of hearts head in her part of the garden. It's a really simple and fun attraction to do in the park. It is located behind the castle in their Fantasy Land. Obviously, the big talk of Shanghai Disney is their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride. The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line

Meeting Maxwell Glick and Jon Cozart after the Disney sing-a-long after being on stage with them during a Tangled song and being in the front row dancing with them, two very sweet gentleman and I'm so happy I got to meet them and getting some youtube advise from Mr. Cheezypop himself! At the Charity ball I got to meet Ty Simpkins who is from Jurassic World and the Insidious films. He was also very sweet and nice of him to come out of the V.I.P area to interact with his fans and take photos for free and have nice conversations with everyone. That same night after the dance was the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child midnight release party! Potter Puppet Pals did a show, there was real life wizard chess, quid ditch matches, costume contests, being sorted by the sorting hat, and much more to do. It was so much fun and of course getting the book was icing on the cake. Then I got to meet Pemberly Digital! Frankenstein M.D., The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and my p
