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.

Re: Travel notes & 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:
Re: Travel notes & photographs
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)
Re: Travel notes & photographs
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) ~;)
Re: Travel notes & photographs
Nah, I didn't visit Florence. :embarassed:
Re: Travel notes & photographs
Perhaps something to look forward to for the next trip ~:)
Re: Travel notes & photographs
My next trip will (hopefully) be in November, and I will be off to London then, if I go. :balloon2:
