Quatre Baguettes pour le prix de deux / Le Tour de France

Une rue à Paris. Camel est un Camel...
(That's for the insiders)

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled camels yearning to breathe free,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Backgound: Statue of Liberty (THE Original, not one of the copies in Vegas or Newark)

What a Triumph!

 Even more Triumph.

A quite old steel structure in France

 Old paintings and stuff.

 Some burgeois camel shack.

 Somewhere en route to...

 ... Notre Dâme à Reims.

 Salut! Je m'apelle camelle.

Camel is very poor. At least on the paper ;-)

Allez, les bleus... errr. whatever.

So, camel came a long way to see this place offering a camel friendly wheather...

 I just wonder how this country made up it's national flag...

 ... of blue & white stripes with a white cross ;-)

3 Countries ... and 3 guys

Camel has been to many places...

... but not to 3 countries at the same time, so time to catch up with that!
Joined by Aymerich, Jooooonathan and myself.

India - Reloaded

Bang galore! This is Bangalore... Welcome to the ಮ್ಯಾಕ್‌ಡೊನಾಲ್ಡ್ಸ್‌ restaurant!
Kannada (double N) is not a country, it's a language. ... And the native speakers are real Indians from Karnataka! But there's also some native people in Canada some call Indians...
Weird, ain't it?

Mambo in Mumbai? Nobody knows, but maybe Ankit and Camel go for some honky tonky tunes...
Location: Electronic Piano Keyboard, Mumbai, India

Now, that's the way we do it: Indian people like to shoot photos together with foreigners, and sometimes those foreigners shoot back... quite nice, but there's better stuff:

 ... at this lost fortress called "Pratapgad" camel enjoyed the famntastic view over the Western Ghats Mountain Range...

 ... and met the fortress ladies, that went totally crazy after the shooting ;-) Woohooo, we met THE CAMEL!!!
Location: Pratapgad Fort, Near Mahabaleshwar, Maharashtra, India

 Now, on a holiday, there are hard decisions to make: Is it better below the umbrella...

 ... or on top?

... or is the porch at those palm trees better?
Location: Benaulim Beach, Goa, India

Salt evaporation ponds... very very salty, this calls for a trip to....

THE OASIS
Location: Next to 2 Maaza Mango Drinks

 Shopping. ...only sad that camel was broke, those "jewels" were just not affordable.

Tasty, tasty Shintzel - or maybe Schnitzel, whatever.

 Camel ain't not jetsetter, but a backpacker.
Location: Gokarna, Karnataka, India

 Holiday on the little Island

 Camel likes to ride in front...
 Location: A cycle-"Van" at Kolkata

 ... but you really shouldn't let camel drive!

 How much is the camel? (Peas are also available)

 ... and fresh juicy Coco-Nuts
Location: Fruit stands at Bangalore

 Aromal and the original (in)famous Bagalore traffic jam

Some more wild animals' buidling in the woods... and serious CES research.

0°C at 0°Longitude

It's (even colder than) 0°C and Camel is at 0° Longitude
Location: Greenwich Observatory Hilltop, London, England

That's where they define some standards - not only for geography, also for lengths, there even is a STANDARD CAMEL!!!

When there's snow in London everything is getting stuck in the snow, trains, cars - even a camel.

Yes, this really is London
