RE: Day 6 - The Beck Trek hits the north of France - Amiens

Indeed, but I thought it was spectacular! I noticed most of my photos are leaning to the right. How doofus is that? ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

On a more serious note, I must look it up and better understand the history, since much of that part of France was flattened in the Great War. I wasn't clear, given how much time we didn't spend reading up on the place before going, how the cathedral and sights such as that clock tower survived both WWI and WWII.

In any case, appreciate you stopping in, @luxurywalker ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Some photos are, not all :D

Did you had a tour guide to explain the history behind these structures and buildings for you?

Having a tour guide in Europe is like attending a history class. Lol

Hi @luxurywalker, no, we didn't have a guide and that day (because it was a public holiday) no guide would have been available anyway. I've used guides (both human and audioguides) in Europe before, and I agree with you, it's like having a history teacher next to you.

I didn't understand your comment about the photos...?

Cheers! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Some of the photos are leaning to the right :)

I noticed that too!
