Default Pictures from my vacation

So I finally got the time to look through all my pictures from my vacation and here is a select 'few' images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Firstly the route (red=planned, blue=detour)
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2150-1/europe2.jpg

The ride (and no I wasn't driving)
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2146-1/2ride.jpg

Prague, you can see the Charles bridge in the center towards the bottom
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2152-1/image002.jpg

A pretty roof in Prague
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2148-1/3prag.jpg

Driving
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2154-1/image003.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2158-1/image005.jpg

Alps
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2160-1/image006.jpg

If you've seen the movie 'Where eagles dare' you should recognize this as Scloss Adler a.k.a Scloss Hohenwerfen, if not, shame on you, go watch it images/smilies/tongue.gif
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2240-1/image013.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2162-1/image007.jpg

There was a birds of prey show at the castle, those birds are quick
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2164-1/image008.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2166-1/image009.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2168-1/image010.jpg

Near the castle was this ice cave, you had to walk 20 min, then take a cable car and then walk for another 20 min. This was what it looked like at the cable car
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2170-1/image011.jpg

Almost there, you can see the entrance right behind the clouds
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2172-1/image012.jpg

As you can see in the past pictures the weather wasn't great, infact it was rubbish, raining all the time and with a tiny leaky tent it wasn't fun, so Venice ftw images/smilies/biggrin.gif
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2242-1/image014.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2178-1/image015.jpg

A butterfly that desided to drop by at lunch
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2192-1/image022.jpg

Thought it looked kinda cool with that light looking like it's comming up from that church
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2194-1/image023.jpg

Swiss alps
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2196-1/image024.jpg

A cute little island
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2206-1/image029.jpg

Some men fishing
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2208-1/image030.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2214-1/image033.jpg

At this camping site there was a airport close by
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2218-1/image035.jpg

Had to use zoom for this one so it's a little noisy, but the decompression did something too
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2220-1/image036.jpg

Those dutch are crazy, cube houses images/smilies/wacko.gif, it's in Rotterdam, if you've seen the movie 'Who am I' with Jackie Chan he runs around there
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2224-1/image038.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2222-1/image037.jpg

Wierd looking tree
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2226-1/image039.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2228-1/image040.jpg

Old and new
http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2230-1/image041.jpg

http://gallery.finalgear.com/file/2232-1/image042.jpg

Waiting for a ferry

images/smilies/eek.gif The Schloss Adler! I love that movie! Actually I try to limit watching because I cannot find it on DVD, and I dont want to wear out the tape. The books even better, I read it at least 6 times a year!


I guess I like the other pictures, too. images/smilies/lol.gif

Looks like an awesome vacation - can't beat a good road trip. That ice cave - that's Eisriesenwelt isn't it? I went there on my trip a few years back - hell of a hike up to it, by the views alone are worth it.

Yeah, I thought even 2 was enough in Venice. The trip to Burano was a 3 hr trip to Murano, Burano and some other island.

Yup, the view was great on the way down, on the way up it was clouds images/smilies/lol.gif

I'll try to find some more pictures when I get home.
And yes it's a Suzuki Bandit S, here is a pic of me in powerranger mode with it images/smilies/tongue.gif And yes I look stupid but better safe than sorry, and I had to pull my hair back so it didn't fly around in the helmet, well that'll be enough excuses so here's the pic then

Yeah I know, it was something TechZ recomended for batch resize, but maybe I did something wrong, I think I'll try it again to see if it can't get better images/smilies/mellow.gif
