I spotted the seemingly out of place, General Lying-In Hospital near the London County Hall. Note the names of the patrons on the building. "The General Lying-In Hospital was one of the first maternity hospitals in Great Britain. It opened in 1767 and closed in 1971. Lying-in is an archaic term for childbirth, and "general" here refers not to a hospital handling all sorts of cases, but to one accepting all patients, i.e. not linked to one religion, as hospitals often were."https://travelbynatasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/img_2288.jpgIMG_2288Photo ©Jean Janssen.

Upstairs in Restaurant Prunier are the toilets (also with amazing art deco decor) and the group/private dining areas. When the restaurant was first conceived, you began your meal and had drinks downstairs. Those patrons having a full meal then went upstairs to complete the service.2018-07-02T14:32:12+00:00monthlyhttps://travelbynatasha.com/2018/04/06/santiago-de-cuba-the-revolutionary-spirit/https://travelbynatasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/dsc_4353.jpgDSC_4353Photo ©Jean Janssen.

Dinner show starts with all the wine, beer, and sangria you care to drink. There is fried chicken and other comfort foods (or other foods on special request). The six performers and two musicians (plus you on a washboard) perform intermittently through the two-hour evening. the show has run for 41 years and is still really hard to get into. The best way to reach Pioneer Hall is to take a bus to the Magic Kingdom and then the boat to Fort Wilderness. Pioneer Hall is a short walk from the boat dock. ©Jean Janssen https://travelbynatasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/img_4276.jpgIMG_4276It didn't matter that the ride wasn't opening for a few weeks, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Ride attracted a lot of attention in Fantasyland, the Magic Kingdom in WDW.

It upper hall was a popular meeting and rally location for the Nazis. Although rebuilt, the upper floor was damaged by bombs during WWII. The lower hall was undamaged. Its beautiful painted ceiling features a child's pinwheel using the color of the Bavarian flag. Formerly, the pinwheel was a swastika. The ceiling is protected for it historical significance. Because it can not be repainted, artists cleverly "stored" the swastika to look like a pinwheel. If yo look closely, you can see where the paint is darker and the original design exists. ©Jean Janssenhttps://travelbynatasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dsc_0717.jpgDSC_0717Boris really wanted to do the The Third Reigh tour while in Munich.
