Where’s Alex?

A small selection from over 1,400 photos that I took during Europe bike tour can be found in my online album http://picasaweb.google.com/eelxela.

I’ve categorised them into the 6 different albums, and there are others from my earlier travels. I’ll never know if I’ll be motivated enough put more about London, Shanghai and Tokyo. Currently, everyday is a Saturday!

Here’s a revisit of my route.
