Veni Vidi Vice... Thought I'd share some shots of my trip to Europe.

Starting this thread with some basic shots from the phone. When I get home I'll post some of the ones from the camera.

On the way over I had a 6 hour transfer in Hong Kong airport. It's huge:http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/TarJak/European%20invasion/IMAG0118.jpg (http://s198.photobucket.com/user/TarJak/media/European%20invasion/IMAG0118.jpg.html)

Well they got rid of their royals:rotfl2:
But if you go round to the mews or across to the barracks away from the tourist lens, you find they dress and stand just like the Italians.

Simply send the return flight tickets in the post, guarantee Neals attendance and I'll be over within 48 hours.

When and where were you in Scotland?
Flew into Edinburgh on the 5th of July, drove to Oban via stops for Bannockburn and Stirling Castle,then through the Lomond and Trussocks national park, then up to Inverness via Fort William, Fort Augustus, a cruise on Loch Ness then a quick visit to Urquhart Castle.
After the night in Inverness Castle visited Culloden before driving via a few distilleries to Stonehaven where we stayed at the Ship Inn right on the harbour. Visited Dunottar Castle. Then back to Edinburgh for a couple of nights visiting Edinburgh Castle, the auld town and a few of the sights in the area then flew back to Arranged on the 10th.

Simply send the return flight tickets in the post, guarantee Neals attendance and I'll be over within 48 hours.
Same here. Not sure when it will be but not for the next couple of years.

Bletchley was great fun.got to see the Bombe, Tunny and Colossus rebuilds as well as the huts and big house.

I did. It's actually outside the main Bletchley museum and you enter via the car park. I'll post photos when I get home. The have Colossus and Tunny running in adjoining rooms.

Same here.I won't stop any spoilers about the last night. All I know is that I can say I got to see them live which is something I never thought I'd see.

You could build your own u-boat.

He was having trouble figuring out how to operate an atm in York so I doubt he'll manage building a U-boat :)
