Mogens...
thank you for your comments...I only take the easy, point and shoot cameras with me when I travel...this trip was with a Kodak C653 digital, although it is a very basic photo platform and quite simple to operate, it does have excellent close up and wide angle capabilities in a 6.1 mega pixel format. I always find, when travelling that you are presented with the most incredible experiences when you least expect them...I have tried to relate that in these reports and the opera guy is a perfect example of what you will see if you just allow the experience to unfold...wait for Day Six though as you will find some experiences that we had that are maybe a little closer to home for you...sonofdob.
