Whitley Bay is a seaside town around 16 km northeast of Newcastle upon Tyne. Around 1100 King Henry I conferred it with other possessions on the Priory of Tynemouth. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Whitley was held under the Crown for a time, but changed hands quite often over the centuries. From the late 19th century , the adverse effects of the decline of local coal mining and dependent industries were ameliorated by the emergence of Whitley as a seaside holiday resort. The opening of the North Tyne Loop railway line in 1882, connecting the coastal villages to Newcastle, benefited the tourism industry. A beach café

Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany - and one of the oldest. A Germanic tribe, the Ubii, had a settlement here, this was named by the Romans "Oppidum Ubiorum". In 50 AD, the Romans founded "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium", the city then became the provincial capital of "Germania Inferior". - The Schokoladenmuseum (chocolate museum) exhibits items around the history of chocolate, from its beginnings with the Olmecs, Maya and Aztecs to contemporary products and production methods. In a small tropicarium even house cacao trees. A special attraction is the golden 3-metre-high chocolate fountain, where employees dip wafers into the liquid chocolate and distribute them to the visitors. There is a wonderful café, where the guests sit next to the Rhine, watch the traffic on the river and on the Severinsbrücke (in the backdrop) and enjoy great chocolate cakes.

The Sainte-Chapelle ("Holy Chapel") was part of the Palais de la Cité, residence of the French Royals between 10th and 14th century. The chapel was built, to house Louis IX's vast collection of relics, including the Crown of Thorns, the Image of Edessa and the point of the "Holy Lance" - and many more prominent relics. Saint Louis (aka Louis IX) had purchased the "Passion Relics" from Baldwin II, unfortunate emperor of the Latin Empire of Constantinople, for 135,000 livres. The money was actually paid to the Venetians, to whom the relics had been pawned. Begun around 1239 and consecrated in 1248, the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Gothic architecture. After I had left the Sainte Chapelle, I strolled around the yard and found many entrances and doors to the Palais de Justice. In a corner is a waiting room for people who want to visit the remand prisoners - and there is this huge vending machine. Of course, there is much better café au lait or café crème everywhere in Paris, but this coffee may be the cheapest. The coffee from this vending machine only costs 0,40 Euros. I had three cups! sainte-chapelle.monuments-nationaux.fr/
