It took me a while, but it's time to post it. ~:)
I have recently arrived back home from holiday, which took me on a grandous tour of Europe, with the car, 6174 km. I went in 3 beautiful countries: Italy, Germany and Switzerland. It spawn on a trip of 12 superb days, along the beauty and roads of Europe. My route was something like this:

Bucharest-Wien-Venice-Milano-Geneve-Zurich-Stuttgart-Frankfurt-Hannover-Hamburg-Berlin-Leipzig-Wien-Bucharest

Technical data
Date: 07.09.2006 - 19.09.2006

Equipment: HP Photosmart R927, 8.2 Megapixels, 256MB SD Card + Nokia 6230, 0.3 megapixels, 32MB MMC

Interesting notes
-Germans are obsessed with erotic things. In Frankfurt, on a main commercial street, I have seen about 5 erotic shops and bars, which started their activity at 13:00!!!
-superb weather, especially in Venice
-lots and lots of tourists
-Milano is a superb city, and for you girl-hunters, it's full of beautiful girls

Since I have so many photographs, I will post them in parts. Part I is Venice, so here are the photographs I have made in Venice. ~:)

That's it for now. I will post many more later. I hope you enjoyed this part of the photographs.

Great photos, ritchie rich. Very nice trip there. ~:)

However the oversized pics really make it uncomfortable to view. Can you restrain the width of your pics to 800 pixels please? :bow:

[edyzmedieval]

Ok, I'll thumbnail some of the pictures. ~:)

Comments please? ~D

hehe ... that would be Taunusstrasse I assume - coming from the main station (although that one doesn't look like a "main commercial street", so it could also be the parrallel Kaiserstrasse)

[Gregoshi]

So far, so good edyz. More! More!

It was near the Train station(a big building...).
I just walked from the AutoMeccanica show(it's exactly where they organize the Frankfurt Auto Show...), near a very tall red-bricked building, down through the tube station and back up to the surface and I walked on this street.

It was in reconstruction I think...

@Gregoshi

Sure. ~:smiley:

I guess this is the point where I am supposed to shamelessly advertise some pics from my recent trip to Florence (starting at post #1223) (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=32144&page=41) ~;)

[edyzmedieval]

Nah, I didn't visit Florence. :embarassed:

[Ser Clegane]

Perhaps something to look forward to for the next trip ~:)

[edyzmedieval]

My next trip will (hopefully) be in November, and I will be off to London then, if I go. :balloon2:

[edyzmedieval]

Time for more photographs. ~:)
