Hey guys,

Just popping in to say if I disappear it's co I'm in Europe (6 countries).
I leave on 1 Jan and end 16 Jan after that going back to sunny SA and not sure when I'll be online again...

I 'should' be online til then thou, browsing, giving stupid answers and commenting as norm...

Have fun! I'm almost gone from here myself but I'll be back right after Christmas and I sure am going to miss you! :-D

Have a good two weeks - and i am looking forward to what you make of the various places you visit both personally and photographically :)

Have a great time and yes you will be missed by me and many others.  Your knowledge and photography skill is excellent.  I just glad I had the pleasure of meeting you and seeing you do what you do best! Very strange angles the just work!

6 countries in 2 weeks... meh. IMNSHO you're better off spending that time in 1 or maybe 2 countries, now you're just constantly on the move without really seeing anything. Sure you'll see the famous places, but that's it. You can say you were here, but you won't even have the stamps in your passport to prove it.

Having said that: have fun :)

Wow!  Have fun and take lots of pictures :)

At 3DGuy, I know what you're saying. If it were up to me I'd be a billionaire and live life out of the Hilton one month at a time, each month in a different city. But I'm not so I'll just run around like a headless chicken and try to do my best.

I really only wanna see certain things in each city so 2 days in each some be ok, but could you order me a new pair of feet for when I get back?

I'm gonna be in full tourist mode so won't have too much time to set shots up and wait for the sunlight it be right. Hopefully I'll get to go back one day and 'pay more attention' to each place and do a 'decent' photographic job of it...

And you're right - LOL - it's all about the stamps!!! And the badges to sew onto my army jacket!

Thanx to everyone else for the wishes!

Good luck to you Vera

There are no stamps. Borders are open in Europe these days. So maybe you'll get an entry stamp the country you land in and maybe one when you fly out again, but that's it.  So actually you're going to see 6 cities in 2 weeks.. not 6 countries

Nope, I'm South African so my passport will get checked and stamped at every Border...

And Yip it's 6 countries and 13 cities. Some with 2 day stops and some with day overs :)

You don't understand. There basically are no borders with customs within Europe. I can drive all the way from The Netherlands to the southern tip of Italy without ever showing my passport because there is noone to show it to. It's all part of the Schengen treaty. "Free passage of goods and people".

Just checked the link you gave. There will be a border check from the UK to the European mainland. So the only borderchecks you'll see are on day 1 and day 16 traveling to and from the UK to the mainland. But the last time I crossed there I didn't get the stamp :P
I do hope you're going to put up some photo journal when you get back eh :)

Have fun and get a best out of your 2weeks, be safe we like You here so come back in one whole piece.
