Travel notes & photographs

[edyzmedieval]

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
Place: Tour of Europe - Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria, France
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.

Rialto Bridge



Superb cathedral(can anyone help me with a name here? )



Flowers and a gondola



What a crowd!



Superb view of Venice from the base of the Rialto bridge



The most stylish cemetery in the world: The Venice Cemetery



Norwegian Jewel



Beautiful monument of Venice(name?) (by the way, it's dark because I took it through the window of the boat which I was travelling with)




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

Any comments?

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?

[edyzmedieval]

Ok, I'll thumbnail some of the pictures.

Comments please?

The Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, according to my book.
Venice looks beautiful. I wish I could go there again.

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. ~

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)

[edyzmedieval]

Nah, I didn't visit Florence.

[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.

[edyzmedieval]

Time for more photographs.

Switzerland

Geneva
