- 9167 km

- 3 new cities visited - two of them capitals

Holidays 2009 IV XD

So...here we go with the last bit of our trip...


Switzerland - Wald, the most fantastic town of Zürich XD

Well...not really going to comment on this... *iec*
Hamba humba hamba uuuuuuuuh ;p

That's FC Wald playing against Gossau and kind of...loosing... :p
The man standing is the coach, 3 guys to the left is my brother... biiiiiig player...Ronaldo is a very lucky guy, because my bro didn't want to make a football career...XD

This is FC Wald's cheer leader group... Daddy Zé, Lila, me, Putchi and aunty Kika XD

That's during our walk to Scheidegg, a hill at around 1200m in Wald...

Nice view :D

Last part of the way up part... everybody almost dead... chief Zecas is a terrible leader for walks... uiiiiiiii

On the top of the hill we could finally have a rest and something to eat...
As you can see, the goat seemed hungry as well XD

Photographer's eccentricity... :) on our way home from Scheidegg along de Jona stream in the Sagereitobel

This is in Zürich...of course and as usual :)

And the 3 travellers...

After the benches, the cows and the bears, Zürich was invaded by vases XD

We @ Zürich's main railway station... and of course, a Photographer's eccentricity :p

Bench...Photographer's main eccentricity...

And again...

This is already in France, at the Galliford's house near Limoges...

Two years ago he was too chicken to go on the trampoline...after that, everybody joked on him. This year he took a deep breath and gave it a try...but we can see he's not very comfortable... :p...hihihi

And here is the professional people... even Monty rules on the trampoline XD

One of the many castles existing there nearby...and the visitors :)

And this is at our last dinner with the Gallifords...



Well, and that's it about the pictures of our travel (well...kind of 0,5% of the pictures someone took :p)

In the next and last chapter, you will find some details about our trip, as maps, routes, numbers and figures. Don't miss it ;)

Holidays 2009 III :D

As promised, here is chapter III from your adventure around Europe:

On our way up from Oslo to Trondheim, we stopped at Tynset, supposedly the town of the Trolls. We were expecting to find there big stores selling all sorts of things related to Trolls. However, to our great disappointment, these people quit manufacturing those funny creatures some years ago. *snif*
This one on the picture was all we could find... just a little bit too big to take home :p

This is Joel and his son David, on one of our walks around one of the lakes of Trondheim.


This is a telecommunications tower, which has a restaurant on its top... don't need to mention the fantastic few from up there, don't I ? ;)

Here is some evidence...

And we went up there to have dinner :D ... looks like someone wasn't feeling very comfortable...hmm

That's an example of a street in Trondheim and of its houses.

This picture was taken on the fortress of Trondheim...

... and this one down town next to the houses built over the river...

Nice idea ;)

After days and days of search, we finally found our Trolls. This one was placed in front of the shop...really cute XD

Photographer's eccentricity I

Picture from our travel around the Fjord shore...


...one more...

...and in this one we can see that in the Fjords car motors grow from the soil... :p

Here we are on a Ferry crossing the Fjord...

Two very good looking girls XD

This picture is a game: Find the Ferry... :p

Mr. Photographer being photographed on the Ferry.

And the very good looking girls from a while ago having a rest on the Ferry's inside...

As we can see, in Trondheim there is car tuning as well.
We decided our next trip will be done in a car like this one... :p

This is a picture of Trondheim's Cathedral... the biggest Cathedral of Norway.

Remember the houses built over the river?? Here they are again...

Photographer's eccentricity II

Photographer's eccentricity III

And, photographer's eccentricity IV... XD

Chapter four (Switzerland) will be published as soon as possible... keep looking up ;)

Holidays 2009 II :D

So, here we are...some more pics from our trip ;)

This is in Gothenburg, Sweden... a little stop after leaving Copenhagen towards Oslo. The city seemed not to have a lot to see, however...

We have seen this huge cruise ship in Oslo, during one of our walks. It was really enormous! We could count 12 floors!!!!

This is the Akershus Slott, a fortress standing right next to the harbour in Oslo...

Uuuups.... XD
This man got a present while waiting for the boat which took us to Bygdoy on the other side of Oslo...LOL

So, here we are getting on board of the boat :)

This picture was taken in the Norsk Folkemuseum, an open-air museum where more than 150 buildings from all over Norway have been assembled. The travellers guide even says it is Europe's original and largest open-air museum :D

While visiting the museum we had the opportunity of watching a demonstration of their traditional dancing!

And here with everybody ;p

Talented me doing some acrobatics...:)

And of course, someone had to do it as well...macho man is macho man... XD

This is how a house looked like in its inside.

This church is called Gol Stave Church and it is a copy from the original built in Hallingdal in 1200.

That's the Nobel Peace Centre building.

Two sweet Trolls in front of a Souvenir shop :D

This is the Opera House...actually a pretty nice building!!

And finally, for Oslo, the square in front of the Oslo Central Station.


Don't miss the next chapter, Trondheim and surroundings XD
