All good things must come to an end

With our return from Budapest today, our two week holiday came to an end. During these two weeks, we touched 5 countries- Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, Hungary and Switzerland, using all modes of transport available on land, water and air. It was a wonderful two weeks of fun and photo opportunities. Attached in this blog are few from the Bayern Region of Germany, Champex-Lac in the Valais region of Switzerland and Budapest. Will need some time to sort out the rest for uploading on my photogallery.

View of the BMW HQs in Munich

It takes 30minutes to drive from the infamous Nazi SS Concentration Camp in Dachau to the BMW HQs, factory and museum in Munich. Interestingly, both started functioning in the same year - 1933 (though BMW was established earlier, it started manufacturing cars in 1933). One was to inflict cruelty on fellow humans and depicts the brutality that humans are capable of, and the other is the creativity of the human mind for the betterment of mankind. In a day one can experience both these sides. History teaches us many things, or does it! The "Never Again" promise has been broken many times in many places.

Fireworks at Fete de Geneve

As every year, the Fete de Geneve concluded with a grand display of fireworks.

You can see few of the images in my photogallery

Successfully performed a major transplant surgery

Getting fed up with the small hard disk space (30GB) of the Epson P3000 Multimedia Storage Viewer decided to upgrade the harddisk to 120GB. Since there is no official upgrade had to do it myself. After almost two hours of micro-surgery and software update following the excellent guide written by Julius Lagula the upgrade was successfully completed.

I can now store up to 112GB of image files without running out of space.
