The joys of travel  ....commiserations Bjørn.

On a side note the break points do seem well designed to avoid even more serious damage.

Cheers

Sorry to read the misshapps. Hopefully the Df and 300 won't end up painted in green...

omg what a terrible experience Bjørn. Karma is a bitch. One isnt suppose to wish anyone ill - so I hope he is okey - but lets hope he lost his suitcase with all his s&x toys and that his wife is there to receive them when the airline delivers the bag.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. I'm glad it was only material damage.

Got myself a heat burn from piping hot coffee as well ... a minor incident obviously.

Best wishes for recovery of the patients! Yes, bad things happen in three, the more scientific term is statistical clustering.

Ouch, the horror :'(

On many occasions I've ignored my own advise to unmount lenses during transport but this massacre reminds me that doing so can have fatal consequences.

Oh well, enough of miseries.

A couple to show the lushness so typical of Ireland .... Environmentally friendly, as it were.

When in Dublin, go to the Science Gallery at Trinity College. Ruth and I spent considerable time at the current exhibition "Home\Sick". Lots of enjoyable science stuff cleverly presented so anyone not interested beforehand would be eager to learn more.

Here is a section showing how to make your own food by running an algal culture.

sorry about your mishap,
i wonder about some of the processing a lot of lo/hi-lights, details correction seems to be going on,
i normally would get a lot of bad rap for that ;D

Mishaps do happen when least expected. That's their very nature.

As to processing - apart from running the software on a new, small laptop didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Bjørn, hope you have run out of all the bad lucks for the rest of your life.

I'm not sure if Ruth could achieve the eye contact through the sunglasses???

Nice to see some images from the land of my forefathers. (Although most of my ancestors are Swedish or Scottish.)
I did notice the sign by the donkey said nothing about giving it a drink.
