High Cervix 1 Week Before Af

Vigilius World Tour stage 79, Switzerland!

Departure from El Prat busy looking for my next to last stage: almost does not seem to be true so came here near the end of my tour. As I promised last time, however, I must first take a look at the city of Barcelona , we begin by Olympic stadium, I remember that here were held Olympics in 1992. Ben is also visible on the telecommunications tower. But Barcelona is known for a very special church that is also represented in FSX: the Gaudi's Sagrada Familia . The basilica is not yet over: it was started in 1882 it is expected that work will be completed in 2030, the face!! Then I see a kind of maxi-bullet that turns out to be a skyscraper: the Agbar Tower . It's not that I like then too, the port more attractive in the distance. I leave Barcelona and head to France on my left, almost touching the Pyrenees I had already seen the other side when arrivavavo from La Rochelle. Arrival at Perpignan , a French citizen more or less like mine Bergamo. begin to drive along the French region of Languedoc : I am near Montpellier . brings me to Avignon The city of the popes during the period of exile in Avignon on the left bank of the Rhone . Then continue to the northeast, following the Rhone, at a time of Valence: the Alps are close now.

Indeed, the Alps are on my right, there they are at the bottom. I find it incredible to think that after more than a year, Italy is back there. Oops, I forgot the map of the stage: here it is! As you can see they are almost near the end, I am just beyond Chambéry. begin to lose altitude because basically I can already see the Lake Geneva, also known as Lake Geneva. Visibility is good and I can see the airport: I make a turn so by the book. I have not exaggerated: look at that line!! Ok, I'm pulling the casino, but I would say that mine is an array of 'Swiss precision'! In short final at the airport of Geneva I can appreciate the wonderful work done by the very Italian FSDreamTeam authors of this addon. landed I being asked to leave the track and I make my way to the right where there is a lot 'of traffic ground as you can see. Asked to discover that I had to park out on the left and then I have to re-cross the track, but I have to wait for take-offs all the traffic I had seen pass under his nose. This is the first. Now the second. And last MD-80. to the other side waiting for me two old glories of Swiss military aviation used as gate-guardian: a Hunter and Mirage III . are very close to Italy and my long journey coming to an end: I just have to decide which way to 'get' ... decide!

Numbered Porcelain Figurines

Vigilius World Tour stage 78, Barcelona!

We rimasti sulle isole Baleari e da lì riprendo: eccomi sorvolare lo scalo di Ibiza ! Essendoci stato appena due anni fa posso confermare che è proprio così, traffico aereo compreso; ero in un villaggio sulla rotta di atterraggio e la domenica passava un aereo ogni 20 minuti e non sto esagerando.

Cerco di riconoscere i posti e rimango letteralmente 'basito': è tutto uguale! Ok, non c'è la splendida vecchia cattedrale che s'affaccia sul porto e mancano anche le antiche mura, ma la città è resa bene ed appena fuori città c'è pure il mio villaggio: vedete la piscina? Ok, se proprio vogliamo sottolizzare la piscina non had that form, but there is a tourist village and FSX, UTX Europe would be better to say, put him there. Incredible! But still I have not taken that ... but I had a bath in this cove below !!!!!!!!!!! looking for a place called Cala Llonga in Ibiza and compare it with that of FSX, you will find that is the same. I recover from the astonishment and in just over 20 minutes are Palma de Mallorca, on the stairs: too crowded (in fact it is already the holiday season).
viro On the city and across the island of Majorca .
The island reminds me of Ibiza version greater: there is the sea, but there are also beautiful mountains, but leave Majorca and we cross a stretch of the Mediterranean. Other 20-25 minutes and I'm already ahead of the Iberian coast, I am not yet entirely accustomed to the fact that in Europe everything is so close (I remember endless certain stages in Africa, Asia, etc.). In a moment are El Prat, the international airport of Barcelona: the traffic here is great, I can see and hear on the radio. Since I'm a bit in reserve 'I decide that the around the city of Barcelona I'll do it at the start of the next stage, some peaks in the distance mi fanno intuire che FSX qui non deluderà. Intanto procedo con la manovra di avvicinamento e in vista della testata pista mi chiedo chi sarà mai quel genio che ha costruito tutte quelle case a ridosso dell'aeroporto. Dalle comunicazioni capisco che c'è chi sta aspettando il mio arrivo e mi sbrigo; ricordo ancora l'ansia dei primi atterraggi con un velivolo nuovo, ora dopo tutte queste miglia mi sembra facilissimo (ma bisogna stare attenti, è proprio questa confidenza che alle volte causa incidenti). Una volta a terra sembra di essere sulla tangenziale di Milano in ora di punta: un traffico sulle taxiway da paura; rischio un frontale con l'Airbus qui sotto. Vengo anche 'Blow' by ATC for not having stopped ... okay, thankfully it's a game!

Why Does My Kitten Have A Saggy Belly

Vigilius World Tour stage 78, the Mediterranean!

Incredible Two post in 3 days !!!!!!!!! Before the ballots, I'm trying to take me out then ... I do not say anything, but the end is near and a little 'I'm sorry but, frankly, is just to finish. Another astonishing fact is that here in Gibraltar should put the English flag: I flew over to England, but I have not touched its soil, but they are then landed in one of his own domains below the Iberian Peninsula. Take off with choreographic Rock of Gibraltar in the background. Continue on Spain's southern coast until you reach in Torremolinos : I have always seen this place on a holiday brochure, and then I looked at him curiously. bad enough I have spoken thus far of how it was made in Spain in FSX, but comparing this with a true picture above, I was stunned: the resemblance is remarkable, look at the port! The angle is different and different is also the season, but they are really very similar. My journey continues to Málaga and even here the virtual is very close to reality, not so much the buildings, but the plant in town and the harbor. FSX regains points. Here, the season still seems to spring because green abounds on these gentle slopes. Um ... spoke too soon: just fold the inside and that's sticking out a semi-desert landscape. Continuation inward, toward the Sierra Nevada because I want to visit a city by the very historical content: Granada. Right here is one of Heritage : the famous Alhambra ! FSX Have not let me down, give me a clue, but where? Already in the image above you'll see that near the mountain you see something, it will be ... Bingo! The Alhambra in all its splendor, at least he can do FSX, the sorvolo e scatto un'istantanea dall'inquadratura per me splendida. A questo luogo è dedicato anche un famosissimo brano di chitarra classica che purtroppo non so suonare (anche se ne ho fatta una versione sovraincidendomi); però ascoltatelo, ne vale la pena (poi è Narciso Yepez, mica pizza e fichi!.

Il mio viaggio prosegue virando verso il mare sino a quando raggiungo Cabo de Palos . Si prosegue quindi verso nordest sino a raggiungere Alicante . Decido quindi di buttarmi verso il Mediterraneo per andare a dare un'occhiata the Balearic Islands. Here is the island of Formentera I visited on a day a few summers ago. Exactly as I remembered, a meaningless plateau with a crazy hot (I never understood why it is so famous, there is nothing to see). And as usual I forgot my map of the stage, ok, I'm good, I put it now so you can see where it will land ;-)

How Many Types Of Angina Is There?

Vigilius World Tour stage 77, Gibraltar!

I'm flying over the 'belly' of Spain and although I expected and almost barren desert areas known not surprised that there is no water, this is the Tagus, the longest river in Spain.

As mentioned in previous post, in Salamanca, I did a top up of fuel - very wise move as we shall see - and I'm heading south on a few large plateaus and mountains. varied landscape, not at all boring, fortunately, because missing waypoint to the next hour. More and more I head south the landscape gives way to the Mediterranean Evidently, the sea is not far away. finally sighted the airport and the city of Seville ! The city is huge and looks very good on the river Guadalquivir , but even a flyover I could not see any of the characteristic monuments of the city. When FSX came out I remember that in Europe there were a lot of criticism as some areas were represented: the users were dissatisfied with the Spaniards and the Italians. I know that these people did not own and did not entirely wrong in that, despite various addons, Spain and Italy are still a bit 'too far away from a discrete realization, certainly is a lot better in North America. But we continue the journey and look closely at the photo below: why? Why is the last image of an ocean you see: I'm done with the oceans, now back to 'sea nostrum '. And you know what? WAS NOW !!!!! In the picture above are near Cadiz, a city famous in the Napoleonic era because it was signed here in 1812 the famous Constitution same name which was later taken as a model for many 800 ( Carlo Alberto of Savoy eg ). With a turn of 90 ° within the decidedly Mediterranean sighted and my goal: Gibraltar ! From here you can see very well the Strait of Gibraltar , right under my Mooney: in the distance are the coasts of Africa. I look out the window what were called the 'Pillars of Hercules' , where you could not go further: nec plus ultra ! The airport of Gibraltar is the characteristic rock side, but after all the mileage does not bother me much. And here I am in the final, now you understand why I did the filling in Salamanca was more than Providence? They fired into the reserve as the lights made me out a long time. does not seem true to be so close to home and I are already in mind all the distant places where I went ... but calm, I still have to come! Oops, I forgot the map of the stage: here it is!
