    Agree on the voice. Great for inducing sleep, even for Insomnia. And the music makes me think I am sitting in the dental office waiting room, about to have a tooth pulled.

      @@TravelAndDiscover, how wrong you went in the opposite direction! Better to not have had any music at all than to ruin the visuals and distract from the narrator with that cheap vulgar bar music. Next time, PLEASE get someone with better musical judgement AND a sound engineer who will keep the music softer! It won't be "didactic" or annoying if you keep it soft and TRULY in the background, not competing for the listener's attention while they're trying to learn from the narrator.

    Hodge Hill Girls School. BIRMINGHAM. UK. “Mont San Michel”.
    I once visited this beautiful place, having never heard of it. I found myself at this incredible location due to a series of events that took place during the month of June, 1983.
    A friend and I had recently celebrated our 18th birthdays, and we booked a camping holiday near to the French, Brittany town of Cancale.
    The day of departure from BIRMINGHAM coach station, saw us aboard a double decker coach. We sat aloft. On the journey out of the city, a housing estate captured my interest. The estate lay to the right of the motorway, I saw a working man´s club, petrol station, small shopping precinct and a large secondary school perched on the hill overlooking the estate. I also noticed particular homes and their neat front gardens.
    We arrived at the camp site, located on the outskirts of Cancale. We soon discover that there was a group of school girls on an end of term cultural trip, also at the camp site. They told us they were from Hodge Hill Girls School, Hodge Hill, BIRMINGHAM. They had arrived in two mini vans, so I guess there may have been approximately 20 in their party.
    The girls were aged 15 and 16. Instincts kicked in, and so did the only game in town.
    My friend and I somehow got invited by the teachers, to accompany them all on a day trip. We must have appeared to be reasonably safe and respectable. We travelled at the very rear of one of the decrepit mini buses in a couple of spare seats. We had no idea at this point where we were heading. We supplied the teachers with Tape Cassettes, and were soon travelling through French country side listening music of the band of the day “Japan”.
    We eventually arrived at Mont San Michel, and we began our pilgrimage against gravity. We slowly meandered up through the cobbled streets, taking in nearly all of the gift shops, until we eventually arrived at the summit, in the company of our new friends. Lunch time came around, and we all ate in the grounds immediate to the Abbey. The views was spectacular. The company was very lovely and 1983 school girl esc.
    I can still visualize where we sat to eat, and with whom we sat. I sensed that something very synchronistic was taking place.
    The holiday ended, and my friend and I returned home. Part two of this story commenced after receiving a phone call, from one of those delightful young ladies. I would later learn that the housing estate that had caught my attention was home to most of the girls and the secondary school on the hill was their school.

    Daaawwwggg, the narrator's voice is so smooth and soothing! Furthermore, the camera work is quite spot on and truly engaging, uncovering, in depth, the history of the abbey. The funky jazz accompaniment "really ties the room together" and the surname, Gibellini, reminds me of the pro-imperial Ghibellini faction, in conflict against the Guelfi (alongside whose lines Dante Alighieri fought, being himself in favor of ecclesiastical sovereignty)

    Salvation is a gift offered to the world by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, yet people complicate it with religion.
    Here is a message for lost souls - Jesus Christ is God, manifest in the flesh and He came on earth to die for our sins. He bore our sins on the cross of Calvary. Have you accepted His free gift of Salvation? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Have you truly BELIEVED from your heart that Jesus Christ is LORD? Have you BELIEVED in the death, burial and resurrection found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KING JAMES Bible? That's how a lost soul can get saved.
    Remember that it's NOT what we do that gets us saved, it's what Jesus Christ DID on the cross of Calvary, that's what SAVES a lost soul.
    All you have to do to be saved, and on your way to heaven is place your TRUST in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and nothing else, as sufficient for your salvation, (Romans 3:25 KJB - "Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;")
    (Propitiation means the act of appeasing wrath, Jesus took your place on the cross.)
    Will you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour by simple faith, simply trusting in his shed Blood which is sufficient to save your soul from hell?
    The last sentence is all you must do to be saved, and that is FAITH, not works, TRUSTING in what someone else did for you is the only thing that is not a work.
    Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
    2 Corinthians 5:7 KJB - (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
    Please get saved NOW before it's too late for your soul!! There's 1 Eternity to choose from, Heaven or Hell, choose wisely for your souls!!
    Grace and Peace to all in Christ Jesus!!
