I worked in Austria for five years and thus we had a chance to see many of the interesting

places that Europe has to offer. Italy was one of our favourites - we visited Venice and then

Rome, each on 4 day long weekends and then we camped for about 3  weeks, enjoying

ancient towns and the beautiful countryside. There is still much more to see.

The order that I have presented here is loosely from North to South to help keep the

geography simple.

The quality of the pictures varies. In 1998 to 2001 I used a (then) good 1.4 megapixel

camera for the pictures of Venice and Rome (I actually used much less than its capabity as I

didn't want to buy memory cards at over $100 for 16 megabytes!). The rest of the pictures

were taken during a 2002 trip using a 2.0 megapixel camera for which the memory cards

were cheaper but still somewhat limited.

* Shirley's note: You won't see many photos of Malcolm here because I took those on my

35mm camera and the prints are now in photo albums. Malcolm says it takes too much time

to scan them for use on the website. Hmmm.
