Ah Prague, was definitely a favourite. A mix of (mostly) old, cobbled streets, buildings that I'm sure had many tales to tell and a swig of modernism, architecture and retro-fitting. Also, a great place to stock up on film #bonus One such camera / photo store was Centrum FotoŠkoda. Located in central Prague, Vodičkova 37, 110 00 Praha 1, Czech Republic, they can also be found on the interwebs here. Everything from digital, film, cameras, accessories, a huge range of just about every piece of photographic paraphernalia.
European Highlights: Venice
Venice, Italy. Floating / sinking, let's hope it sticks around for a good while longer. Full of history, rich in tradition. It was funny as I was wandering about these age old cities, wondering what the streets would have been like in an earlier time. Street stalls, fashion and now the modern equivalent. Gypsies were certainly common, I found it some times a little hard finding something a little unique, handmade from a local. Built upon tradition and not mass-produced rubbish. Apart from that, I enjoyed being there, in a place completely different to anywhere I have ever been and for me that was enough. More than sufficient, happily enjoying the company of my fellow travellers and time taking photographs.
"I don't often visit Venice, but when I do, I only shoot black & white film." I was kind of running out. Fortunately in Prague, I managed to pick some more up :)
European Highlights: London
The flight to Heathrow via Hong Kong was the longest I had ever experienced. And, it certainly won't be my last. I love travel, I was so amazed by the unique flavours each city I've been to so far had on offer. Countries that are in some way related have a rich mixture of culture, which *but not limited to - include food, architecture are probably the most noticeable.
