A day in Kingston upon Hull

The exact year Hull was founded is not known but it was first mentioned in 1193. It was called Wyke on Hull. Renamed Kings town upon Hull by King Edward I in 1299, the town and city of Hull has served as market town, military supply port, a trading hub,fishing and whaling centre, and industrial metropolis.
So almost 1000:)
Beautiful city center and nice shopping area. A lot of ferries are connected with European part (Belgium, France and other countries). Not far from London and it is convenient  if go with a car.
In June 2013, it was announced that Hull had made it to the short list of places vying for UK City of Culture 2017, along with Dundee, Leicester and Swansea Bay.

Here are some pics of today:) Good shopping malls and shops along. And lots of Food :) Different public houses (Pubs), snack bars, and I liked Tesco supermarket as well.

Funny stories and Jokes

1. 
The world's major shipping stakeholders gather to consult the super computer on the future of the industry. After thinking it over they type in their question: in 2050 what size crew will be needed?

The computer screen answers: "The Captain and a dog."

The stakeholders are perplexed. 'Why a dog?' they type.

The computer screen answers: "To stop the Captain touching the machinery."

The stakeholders are even more perplexed. 'So then, why a Captain?' they type.

'Somebody needs to feed the dog' comes the reply.

Antwerp Zoo - visit 18.08.2013

Antwerp Zoo is a zoo in the center of Antwerp, Belgium, located right next to the Antwerpen-Central railway station. It is the oldest animal park in the country, and one of the oldest in the world, established on 21 July 1843.

I was surprised by the beauty of the zoo-garden. Sunday, families with children and all facilities for a nice day in the Center of the city.
Antwerp Zoo houses over 7,000 animals of about 950 species. They get nearly 2.5 million visitors each year and have over a 100,000 supporting members.

 So have a look - pictures from yesterday :)
