Default TarJaks European Invasion

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:

Shot from the rooftop garden of our hotel in Rome liking towards St Peter's Bascilica:

Panorama of the Royal Palace in Naples:

Monte Cassino monastery rebuilt after its destruction in WW2:

More to come soon.
