    Whoop, i just got back from a 10 day trip to Greece, and Italy.. oh man it was nice, saw big hilights and got tons of pics, ill post some later, when i can get to it.

    but i would still love to go to Irelend (im irish aswell so) but thats the next place on my list i think.

    where do you people wana go, and if you have been to greece/italy make some comments..





    Allright.. i relise some may be blurry, and they will be big (800x600) i did resize them so they werent huge. but here are a few. I also put a caption below the picture to give you an idea of what it really is. The time on the pictures is the time where i live and i was 8-9 hours ahead of the clock.




    [​IMG]
    The sun is comming up new Frankfurt as it was an overnight flight. you can see the moon, and also the nice blue sky (from the plane yes)



    [​IMG]
    the Pantharean Stadium, where the First Olimpic games were held, it is in Athens, Greece. The seats and walls are made out of 100% marble, and the track is new which is used every year for the games that Athens holds for its own city.



    [​IMG]
    During "Greece Day" or their "Independance Day" they have an army parade, this is a picture of some awesome looking front of a tank.



    [​IMG]
    Another picture of the army during Greece Day



    [​IMG]
    Again, Another picture from Greece Day



    [​IMG]
    An over head view of Athens, Greece. We had hicked to the top of a bell tower which had roughly about 600 steps to get to the top.



    [​IMG]
    Another overhead view.



    [​IMG]
    Another overhead view which shows the stadium from afar, and how large it is.



    [​IMG]
    This is an image of a lake on which we were on our way to Delfi and i got this picture while we were moving inside the bus.



    [​IMG]
    This is the theater in Delfi, this was made out of lava rock and marble.



    [​IMG]
    The stadium in Delfi which held Chariot races, which as you can tell is HUGE. this stadium was also built out of pure marble.



    [​IMG]
    This is a bridge in Athens that we had to cross to to to our boat that we took over night over to Italy.



    [​IMG]
    A view of the bridge while we are going over it.



    [​IMG]
    This is the back of our boat that we boarded to take to Italy.



    [​IMG]
    Behind the boat from the propellers of the boat. we are right now over the Med at this point.



    [​IMG]
    This is an overlook of Sorento, Italy where we stayed 2 nights and 3 days. it also shows the port of Sorento where we took a boat to Capri Island.



    [​IMG]
    This is at the port where we borded a boat (not in the picture) to go to Capri (which was my favorite part of the trip)



    [​IMG]
    This shows the nice blue water near a cave at Capri Island.



    [​IMG]
    Inside a small cave at Capri where i got a very nice shot of the beautiful blue water.



    [​IMG]
    Water hitting the rocks on a beach like area at Capri Island still.



    [​IMG]
    Pompeii's nice green grass. The Ruins at Pompeii. They have only goten about 30% of pompeii uncovered, the rest is still covered in ash.



    [​IMG]
    Me in the Center Square right outside the Vadican, and that building behind me is the Sistine Capel.



    [​IMG]
    This is a picture of a curch that you can go to (if the pope is there) to get somthing blessed, when he is not there the building is open for tourists as it was made out of pure marble inside.



    [​IMG]
    The great Colosseum where the galdiators fought and died.



    [​IMG]
    Another picture of the Colosseum.



    [​IMG]
    A closer picture of the Colosseum



    [​IMG]
    That is the base of the Colosseum from the view on the first level. (the things sticking up from the middle are from the corrordors from where they would transport the slaves and animals around below the stage where the fans or "Spectators" could not see them.



    [​IMG]
    Another picture of it but this time i am showing you how large it is, and how many people it really could hold.



    [​IMG]
    A look of it from the second level.



    [​IMG]
    Another picture from the second level.



    [​IMG]
    This is another church that we went into, but i must point out that this building is just marble, the green and red are pure marble as is the white, there has been no painting nor any fixing of the building, it is still in great condition and is still used today aswell.

    I want to go to Paris, France and see some beautiful scenery and some foreign chicks with accents and stuff xD. Plus I know they have some good art and it is very unique, elegent and quiet. Good for a vacation one day. It also probably where I would take a special someone in my life a couple of years in the future.
