• Pictures were taken with a Canon G9, 12MP in Fine mode (4000*3000 pixels), so they are huge (2 to 5MB) but with no quality loss. A web version is available in the web page for better viewing.
• I do not publish any pictures containing persons that can be recognized. If you were on tour with me that day, contact me here, and I will send you these personal pictures.

348 pictures (at 1600 x 1200 pixels but 4000 x 3000 pixels are available on request) in 18 categories are online.  I did drive 1550 km in 5 days, 6 hours per days. Videos will follow as soon as I can manage to put HD AVCHD in a viewable format (size, speed, bandwidth)
