Travel blog-Austria Part-7

                                             

Today , I went to Schonbrunn palace with my German teacher . We went there by taking the 'Hop on 

 Hop off bus' for Vienna Sightseeing.

Arriving at Schonbrunn Palace 

  The Palace is painted yellow because it was Queen Maria Thereasa’s summer residence .

  As we entered through the palace gates into the courtyard , there were huge statues with fountains 

 on both sides

Beautiful sculpture with fountain

 For taking visitors around the palace, there were horse carriages which are called "Fiaker in 

 German and the Schonbrunn train , but we decided to explore on foot .

   
                                
                        Beautiful Fiaker ready for you.

Let's go !!

We decided to go up the hill , when we reached up the top of the hill ,we turned around and saw the 

                                                               beautiful view of Vienna City.

View from hill


                                                                                                               
It was a very long and tiring hike ,but full of fun and loved every minute of it. 


Still need to go higher

Finally!!!

Inside this beautiful structure of   Schonbrunn , there was once used to be a dining hall for the royals. Now , it is a cafe.Because we were tired and hungry we decided to have some tea and cake and enjoyed the view .

                                                        Glimpse of inside of the cafe                                                                                                           



 In the evening, we went back to our hotel by Vienna's fast trams .Ready next day to go back home.



Goodbye Vienna until nexttime.

Facts About Thames Barrier

                                    The Thames Barrier which was built in 1984, protects Central London from tidal surges in the North Sea.                                                         It protects 125 sq km or 48 sqm of Central London. The Thames barrier was built, because of the Thames flood in 1928. The Thames river flooding destroyed lots of properties and 14 people lost their lives in the flood. So, the Environmental Agency came up with the idea of the Thames Barrier and its construction started in 1974. It is predicted that even with heavy rainfall and rising tides due to climate change it will still be able to protect London from flooding until 2070. There are three positions of the Thames Barrier to let the river water flow in a controlled amount.                                         1- The "Underspill position", of the barrier allows a controlled amount of water to go under the barrier, this position is used when tides get too

Lunar Eclipse 2018 - Fun Facts

On 27  July 2018, there will be a longest total lunar eclipse ,  during which  the moon appear a lot bigger and also red.And the eclipse can be seen for the whole one hour.                                                 So ,what causes  the moon to turn red?.This question baffled scientists for many years , but with new technology, it has been discovered that the moon turns red , when the earth blocks the light coming from the sun to the moon , it casts two shadows called the penumbra and umbra shadow .                                                                                                                                   The penumbra gives of a blue light that deflects the red colour to the umbra which is the darkest shadow , since no light gets to moon , the deflected red colour cast a red colour on the moon. If the moon keeps on going round and round the earth then we should get a lunar eclipse every month.Instead , we get a lunar eclipse once every year.Why
