TOWERS AND TANTRUMS

There is not a lot I can say about the Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur it was just breathtaking. Here are a few pictures from outside and the surrounding areas to start with.

We took the first lift that goes as far as the linking bridge about half way up. That would be my idea of hell, as the lift attendants must go up and down up and down up and down for hours on end.

We stopped off on the bridge.

HISTORY BIT

Queen Victoria couldn’t even bear to look at her eldest son Bertie, she blamed him for everything, but he skipped out of the way and went on a tour of the Middle East. Mummy let him go as she was pretty certain he wouldn’t get his paws on any young ladies there. Many months passed and the Queen was urged that life must go on, so eventually she agreed to travel to Belgium and “inspect” Bertie’s proposed future wife.

ALIX 1889

At first the Queen refused to meet the Danish family, and it took some time to persuade her to leave her room which was very rude of her. Rumours she was hoarding large bars of chocolate under the bed she wasn’t going to share with anyone, have not been proved. Fortunately Alexandra found favour with the Queen and although no promises were made, an understanding was reached.

I’ve done it again! Only when I was choosing tags did I remember I’ve not even mentioned my books – you would think I didn’t want anyone to buy them!  So for now here is my web site link and for good measure I’ll throw in my Amazon author page as well. I think you’ll enjoy reading them and none of them are expensive so you won’t have to take out a second mortgage!

And I’ll even go further and show you a picture of them all.

Till next week, take care.

  1. I think I must have missed a post as I wasn’t sure what poor Bertie was getting the blame for. I wouldn’t be surprised if Victoria had secret chocolate supplies stashed away. She was apparently a very greedy person who ate her food very fast. When she finished her dinner everyone else had to stop eating too even though they hadn’t finished their dinners.

    • Now that I didn’t know! Bertie got the blame for his father’s death because if he hadn’t been fooling around with a young woman Albert wouldn’t have had to go to reprimand him and get caught in the rain which caused his illness. Very narcissistic of Victoria – I’ll always think of her as the mother from hell.
