The Rover

Traversed the planet when heaven sent me, I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight, I hear the rested rivers call
And the wind is crying, from a love that won’t grow cold.  

Well folks I’ve lived a little this summer.

I’ve listened to AC/DC ‘Bedlam In Belgium’, in Belgium:

It doesn’t get any better than this!

I’ve grooved to Kraftwerk ‘Autobahn’ on an autobahn:

Paid homage to, the immortal, Plastic Bertrand in his own land:

It doesn’t get better than this! (slight return)

Spotted AC/DC and Iron Maiden themed cars in Malterdingen and Colmar respectively, the Maiden one was particularly incredible although I wasn’t quick enough to get a very good picture:

Found the entrance to the Temple of Syrinx and the road to Hades in Venice:

We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx / Our great computers fill the hallowed halls

Was generally a bit taken by Venice, there’s water there you know:

Discovered that Belgian hotels have beer in vending machines, thereby making them the most civilized race ever to walk the Earth:

… and felt a bit like this going back to work this morning:

I read loads, saw all manner of places for the first time and had shed loads of fun.  Apart from the above I’ve barely listened to any music* in about 3 weeks either, I like having a proper break away from it all.  I suppose I best get on with reviewing some stuff then …

573 Down (still).

PS – Don’t you just hate people who bother you with their holiday photos? especially when half of them are just bad photos of the inside of a car.

*of mine, things are far too democratic in the car these days, now my kids are older.
