Sanne is smiling because she managed to get Rogier in an attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood involving a 84-foot drop into a water basin. Rogier is smiling because he survived the ride.

Fabulous Las Vegas with gondoliers at the Venetian?? Sanne and I found out they actually have small electrical motors for thrust hidden underneath the gondolas!
Crazy gambling… and it is not allowed to make pictures.
At Yellowstone our tent almost broke down… we didn’t know it yet but there would be two days of Heavy rain ahead of us. In miraculous way our tent managed to keep us pretty dry at night.
Lake Yellowstone just outside our camping ground
Beautiful hot springs in Yellowstone
And geysers like the crowded Old Faithful which erupts every 90 minutes… still quite amazing.
How romantic :D… yes, but you don’t know how tough it was to hike up there!
Falls around every corner
Butterflies abound when you’re off the main road.
We made it to the top! We were proud

Amazing colors at this fall - check out the very very small people standing at the upper right of the fall

Hi Anke! As far as digital camera’s go, I’m a great fan of Canon. Two years ago I bought their PowerShot A70 - which I liked a lot but which broke down (but I must admit I do not spare my camera at all; I’m not buying it to be careful with it).
Now I have a Canon Powershot A95. It’s perfect. It’s a 5 megapixel camera with the opportunity to play with all the settings or just leave it all at automatic. Great shots and high enough resolution to print them at A4-size if you want to. It has a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom (12x together).
It’s on sale at Amazon for $269.94… a great price for the camera. See this
