Another beautiful day is dawning
Today: The Road to Hana
The scenery along the way is spectacular, and our guide book helps us get the most out of it.
Arachnofobia?
bamboo forest

Schwedisch für Anfänger
(a moose showing a condom in class)
"Long sock for Pippi"
(Pippi = Mr. Johnson)

Some parts are...well...paved.
