Zenzero's Festive Greeting and London Sightseeing

If there is one type of city Zenzero loves visiting, it's a Capital City. So you can imagine how ecstatic he got when he found out he would be spending his Christmas Holidays in London. Not only that, but he also managed to find himself during a much coveted White Christmas. London is not only the Capital city of England and the United Kingdom, but it is also the largest and most populated city in the European Union.

Two Millennia ago, the Romans called it Londinium, but this time Zenzero called it his Holiday Destination, and in the spirit of Christmas he will share his holiday snaps with you. He starts off at the iconic Tower Bridge (sometimes wrongly called London Bridge). He then stops at Buckingham Palace to give the Queen his greetings. Finally he gets eally festive at Hyde Park. Hopefully he'll have time for some shopping tomorrow!

Zenzero's First Video

Zenzero goes to Egypt, Giza

No he's not in the Nile, but he's close enough. Zenzero has arrived in Egypt, and as usual, he started off with one of the most iconic landmarks of the land; the Pyramids of Giza. The irony is, that this Necropolis is one of the liveliest tourist hot stops in Egypt. Khufu is a pretty popular fellow, his mummy would be proud. HA!

Oh, and yes, this is one other UNESCO World Heritage Site for Zenzero!

 

 

Zenzero does the Twitter

Our little baked adventurer doesn't only travel to major landmarks in the real world, he also keeps up to date with the latest virtual trends. For this reason, Zenzero has decided to join the Twitter trend. Now you can subscribe to little Mr.Biscuit's adventures via his Tweets as well. Subscribe today!

Crikey! Gingerbread visits Stonehenge

Zenzero has finally landed in the United Kingdom, and what better place to start than the oldest monument in the country, the world famous Stonehenge. What a henge is, no one really knows, but this henge is not only made up of stone, but it is also another UNESCO World Heritage Site, which makes it Zenzero's second. Archeologists believe that the monuments were first erected over 4200 years ago, but work started on the area at least 700 years before. My my, those prehistoric men were frightfully lazy if you ask me. Well then, there's still lots of Blighty left to see. Tally-ho chaps!

Big Changes: New Look, New Url

Yay! Zenzero has revamped his photo blog. It has a brand new look which has been in the making for a while, as well as a new, shorter, and easier to remember URL. The blog's look has been customised to be unique. The fun look is also more representative of Zenzy's life. He also has a fresh new Facebook profile page, as well as an email address, which can be accessed by the links on the blog.

We hope that you will like the changes as much as we do.

Zenzero, and the Wonder of Machu Picchu

Soon after leaving Cusco, Zenzy arrived in Machu Picchu, and was left in awe. No surprise really, as Machu Picchu is one of the new 7 Wonders of the World. The first thing he saw was the mountain of Huayna Picchu which towers over the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. The city is also known as the "Lost City of the Incas" and was only rediscovered in 1911. Those Incas were very good builders. After the tour, Zenzero decided to buy a traditional colourful Peruvian hat, but couldn't find one which fits him well enough.

Oooooo, Peru! Cusco.

Wahey! Zenzero has arrived on his third continent, South America, all thanks to the city of Cusco in Peru. Located near the Andes mountain range, Cusco is the historic capital of the Inca Empire and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO. Here, Zenzero saw the Temple of Coricancha and the famous Cathedral of Cusco

In 1911, explorer Hiram Bingham departed from the city, subsequently re-discovering the ruins of Machu Picchu. Almost 100 years later, Zenzero does the same.

Château de Villandry in Tours, France

Once King Richard I of England met Philip II of France at the Château de Villandry, and now it was Zenero's turn to give this most famous French château a visit.

Its famous Renaissance gardens include a water garden, ornamental flower gardens, and vegetable gardens. The gardens are laid out in formal patterns created with low box hedges. In 1934, Château de Villandry was designated a Monument historique. Like all the other châteaux of the Loire Valley, it is a World Heritage Site.
