EIGHT COUNTRIES IN 10 DAYS

I am just back from my 10 days tour through 8 Eastern European countries. This is the second tour I made in this region. Now I think I have seen them all, at least all the things a tourist should see and the wonderful landscapes in this area.

We started in Munich



Here I am ready for the tour, unfortunately I have no pictures from Munich, as I arrived late and missed the start of the tour. I didn't know that it took so long to get out of the Munich airport, and that I had to take a train to pick up my luggage ! This and the heavy traffic in Munich delayed my arrival. I only saw the members of my group the next day.

From Munich we went to Nürnberg,





Nürnberg




In Prague unfortunately it rained cats and dogs and I even had to buy an umbrella.



The rain stopped in Ausschwitz, which some of our group visited. I stayed outside this site of horror and saw enough. I also knew and had seen expositions before and was too much involved, that I just couldn't go inside.






Vienna



In Budapest we stayed two days ! A very beautiful city





Ljubiliana in Slovenia, would have been a lovely city, if the houses were not full of graffitis. Apparently after the communists had left young people expressed their "freedom of speach" in "writing" !

This is just a little overview of what I have seen, of course I will write about my trip more in details.
We drove 2700 km by bus through the 8 countries, and I have walked 90 km according to somebody's podometer, but I am sure it must have been more !

I took around 400 pictures and have to see what is where and where is what. It will take a little time until everything will be there were it should be. For the moment I have a puzzle in my head !
