Petra's Guest Book

Thanks a lot for your kind words. It's a pleasure for me to share what I see and learn on my tryps. Furthermore, I believe it's an obligation to every true traveller to do so. It's somehow my way to thank as well all those travellers that keep me reading their books, websites or whatever it was for hours, making even higher my strong desire to discover every spot in our beautiful planet.

Danke schön!

Antonio

Petra,
Your Rome album is charming! You captured so many lovely photos of people as opposed to just the classic shots of places. Beautifully done!

Thank you Pesu for your favourable comments on my above mentioned report.
Yes, there are frictions among the travellers, they are also humans; some that I invited did not come to that journey because among them there was somebody that they did not want to meet! (I do not tell you who).

But a real traveller is he who devotes his entire life to travel (like Andre Brugiroux). Some others love to travel, is their hobby, even their passion, but they are not travellers but individual tourists who have other economical occupation; they travel individually during their holidays for one month, two, or perhaps three at the most, but everything is calculated, even the ticket back home. When they retired from their jobs they travel more frequently, but always with everything under control, programmed.
The real traveller leaves for undetermined time, perhaps for years, no tickets back, working along the way, improvising, having fantasy, adventure, he is risky.
I invited some real travellers and some individual tourists. Unfortunately some real travellers could not come, and others (like German Heinz Stucke, 50 years on the road without stopping) did not answer my invitation by mail to join us in the Road of Bones.
Ciao

Many thanks for your congratulatory message for the September POM award. It was certainly the finest sunset I have ever witnessed on the beach at Koh Samui, Thailand. The shot was handheld and taken on my new camera. I now use a Nikon D90 with: Nikon AF-S DX 18-200/3.5-5.6 VR lens. I am currently in Queensland, Australia and hope to take more pictures. In late October early November I hope to drive around NE Thailand and venture into Laos and Cambodia – so again I hope for more photo opportunities.

Petra,

I think I was taken aback with the beauty of Iceland. It really is an incredible country.

Thanks
Amanda

Thanks for the comment on my Madrid report but sorry I should be quite unable to help with the translation.
The best I ever managed in Germany was to borrow a knife from a gasthof!
