Cochin, India videos

Lets test these videos from Cochin! Ferry from Ernakulam to Vypeen.




Erard Museum in Nice

Today, we're going to take a trip to the Old Town of Nice!





Here's what I discovered...a free museum with an exhibition of Erard, the inventor of the modern harp!
All kinds of interesting antique instruments:





The Basset Horn!
Lyre Guitars
Some awesome ceilings

  
 A nicely desigmed harpsichord with a tapestry behind it...

An old pharmacy that was in the same building. More info on the second picture!
Hope you enjoyed this! Keep checking in!

St. Tropez

St. Tropez- Home of yachts, fish markets, art galleries, and the renowned VIP Room.



I regret that I did not take a picture of the wall on the side, picturing all the Hollywood stars who have partied in this seaside Provencal town. Perhaps inside you can see the dance floor which Lindsay Lohan once stumbled across in a drunken stupor :P


Some nice sculptures in proximity to the museum and the fish market. They surround the marina filled with yachts of multi-millionaires (if not billionaires) as shown earlier.

Not too surprising that you would see the Chanel mansion here as well. The tour guides rumored that on the very day I visited, Paris Hilton, Shaq, and Denzel Washington were visiting as well! I didn't catch any of them, perhaps they were enjoying some time in their yacht until hitting the VIP Room for some nightlife.

As you can see, St. Tropez is rich with music festivals as well. Perhaps not as many as Nice, but still impressive.



Maybe I forgot to mention that I like art and art galleries :D. These paintings could be found all around St. Tropez.
Well that's it for today! Hope you enjoyed it! All I could say is that I hope to see St. Tropez on a clearer day, and be able to stay late enough to enjoy the nightlife. Bon Voyage!
