His real name is... That is an image of the god Priapus. His large penis is a sign of fertility and manhood (who knew ?)
His image was supposed to bring success and prosperity.

lovely lovely Loved the photos. They are like those you see on a postcard.
Lynda, make sure you stay away from any tree branch. Simply you don't go under them, this is the best way I can think of to avoid snakes falling onto you. :-P
over the hills and far away Ha haa haaaaa, bet you those compases came in handy.. then again.. you only had to follow the bog bog fence ;-)
wicked guys.. seriously wicked.. wish i had a journey to match it ;-) .. maybe when my 5 years are up i will have to try and follwo in your footsteps and give you a run down on how things have changed ;-)
Elusive Danube Hello there,
Enjoyed your photos and journal. The Danube isn't what it seems, apparently. I must have crossed it dozens of times before I worked out what it was, with its name signposted in German, which is NOT Danube.
Have sympathy on the backpacks, always heavier than they should be.
Best advice: Don't buy books.
Love, mum
Hey Lynda, Ross
I've been to Vienna a couple of times for work and love the city - it was so cool reading about your adventures in the city. Glad to hear you guys are having fun!
D40X Good news: dpreview 'Highly Recommends' the camera - so make sure that the guys who take your pictures are really much older and slower than you! Safe journey and keep posting and taking pictures.

We are both from New Zealand, but have been away for 7 years. After spending 5 years in London we have decided it is time to go home, but we've decided to travel the long way. Overland!... full info
