I took half a day with an Australian day-mate to see the Imperial Summer Palace in Beijing.
It has been interesting to learn about the empress Cixi that reached her rank through the 'convenient deaths of the emperor and his empress'.
After her death, 9 storage rooms were filled with treasures while matters of the state were in ruin.
The Grand Hotel is a large hotel in the City centre of Leicester, England. It is now known as the Mercure Leicester City Hotel.
It was built between 1897-98 by Cecil Ogden and Amos Hall, and is located on Granby Street. The wedding cake top on the corner of Grandby Street and Belvoir Street was added by Amos Hall who also designed the Silver Arcade in the Edwardian period.
The Kings Hall on the first floor was at one time a cinema.
The hotel has always been considered as one of Leicester's most prestigious, but arguably its heyday was during Victorian times. Today the hotel is rated as 4 star and is operated by Mercure Hotels, a division of the multinational hotel company Accor.

Mayan Ruins ~ Chichen Itza
An amazing place to visit. Beneficial to have a guide take you through so that you get the history of the Mayan People and the Ruins.
Catherington Church
All Saints Church, Catherington offer a range of services from traditional Prayer Book Holy Communion to informal praise and prayer and all-age worship. There are also occasional services of healing prayer and anointing. We want everyone to find a home here from the young to the not-so-young and that is why we enjoy refreshments together in the church hall after each 9.30 am Sunday service so that we can say ‘hello’ and welcome newcomers.
