| Europe 2005 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I travelled to Europe for just two weeks in June/July. Here are just some of the photos I took... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Aachen, on the westernmost point of Germany, was my base in Europe. Charlemagne's permanent residence in the 8th century. He was buried in the cathedral. It's also a student city, and was bigger than I had imagined from a dot on a map. A pleasant town, and easy to explore France, Belgium the Netherlands and Luxembourg from there.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| These tiny cars amused me - a Smart fortwo. I'd never seen such a small vehicle that wasn't a golfcart or something. Now available in NZ, but I'd never seen one before this trip. This was taken at a point where three countries meet - Germany, Netherlands and Belgium. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Maastricht, the Netherlands. I was astounded at the number of cyclists. And that you could take your dog anywhere. This dog stroller really amused me. What a great life. I would love to be able to take my dog shopping. The Dutch are great - so free and easy. And yes, came across a shop selling dope openly. |
