A tour of Europe (Part 6)

[Note: This is Part 6 of Mini-Europe. It is at the end of the visit and includes the eastern (and south-eastern) European countries and a few others (Austria and a French space shuttle...don't ask me why!).]

We have the Czech Republic connected to Slovakia by a short lane :P

Czech Republic: The Astronomical Clock on Prague's Old Town Hall (you can see photos of the actual thing in my Prague posts...the link's on the sidebar!)

Slovakia: The Blue Church in Bratislava (did I see it in Bratislava? I'm not sure :P )

side view

Romania: The Byzantine Palace in Mogosoaia
Some restoration work going on when we were there...

Hungary: The Széchenyi baths in Budapest

This is also one of the nice pieces

another view

Bulgaria: The monastery of Rila

inside

Slovenia: The Franciscan church and Hauptman house in Ljubljana, and the Triple Bridge over the Ljubljanica river

Austria: The abbey in the city of Melk, the first capital of Austria under the Babenberg dynasty.

France: Ariane 5. The launch base is at Kourou in French Guyana

I don't know what this is...can someone tell me?

Cyprus: the Kourion Theatre in Limassol

Greece: the Acropolis in Athens. After my trip to Greece, the miniature doesn't look so great...check out the "real" photos instead! :P (again, link's on the sidebar!)

To end this 6-part series on Mini-Europe, here are some "global scenery" photos of the park, before, during and after the visit. (I say "some"...but there are ten of them!)

I decided to number the photos so that I can easily refer to one of them if I ever need to :P

We were lucky to have good weather in Brussels. Unfortunately our luck kinda ran out there, and it rained practically the rest of the time my parents were in Europe :( Well, right until the end of the trip...we had fairly good weather in Paris as well. (luckily...for there was another miniature park there!)

So I hope that these posts allow you to decide for yourself whether Brussels is worth visiting...I didn't find much special about the town itself, but this park is pretty nice...especially if you can't visit the whole of Europe! (Psst...France Miniature was better...but of course, it only had France and not other countries...)
