Driving up and down green hills near Bath, England

Driving_up_and_down_green_hills_near_Bath,_EnglandA drive down, up and down some steep, green hills to the west of Bath in south west England. Look out for the orange bendybus just disappearing behind the big roundabout at the bottom of the last hill. And the speed camera (that little pale yellow box on a pole (looking like a birds nestbox) on the right hand side of the road on the approach to Saltford, towards the end of the vid. I believe this particular speed camera has the reputation of making more money in fines than practically any other speed camera in the UK. Our route is from about Whiteway, through Newton St Loe, and onto the A4 as far as Saltford. By the way, for any American viewers, notice how smoothly traffic can flow at a roundabout!

Forget the Eiffel Tower - this is the way to see Paris

Forget_the_Eiffel_Tower_-_this_is_the_way_to_see_ParisThe Montparnasse Tower in Paris is over 200 metres high (that's over 620 feet). I think a lot of people just don't know about it. It's open to the public and you can go right to the top. There's a fast lift to an enclosed viewing area on the 56th floor, and you can walk up some steps and walk about on the roof itself and enjoy the panorama. From the top you look out over the rooftops of Paris, to Montmartre, and the Eiffel Tower, and down to Montparnasse railway station.
