In Europe, a driver is not allowed to drive continually over two hours, or he/she will be punished by law. When a driver have already been driving for two hours, he/she must stop to take a rest for at least 10 minutes, and after then keep on going. As a result of that, we got a lot of rests on the expressway. There r many shops along on both side of expressways in Europe, we ususally went to toilets of these shops during the rests, and bought some food or drinks in shops btw.

This pic was taken during one of the rests, i was sitting in our bus, waiting. And i saw this 'BMW man'( he has a very nice BMW motorcycle, and weared in a BMW cloth ), he looked liike a bad guy lol~~ But in fact he's really a kind man, see the kids behind him? i saw he helped them very kindly( they didn't know each other before ). those kids had some bicycles on the car, he helped them to put them down, he's a strong man.

In the countryside...

i deeply felt the different between a 'developing country' and a 'developed country', their 'productivity' is so...high... i have seen countless farmland in Europe but i can hardly seen any ppl in them, everything is 'mechanised'(机械化). Peasants in a 'developed country' and peasants in a 'developing country' r leading totally different life...sigh...

Also, the farmland in Europe r beautiful and natural.

we were heading to a countryside hotel - personally it's my favourite hotel in the trip

we got there very late, it's very dark, since my camera performs poorly in such condition, i give up shoot any pictures at that night, instead, i got up very very earily in the next morning - only for photography

It was when i just woke up that i took this picture, i took it in my room - that's right, this is the room i lived in. outside the room is the pure nature! oh i love this place! it's heaven!

Stairs inside the hotel.

This hotel is operated by a family of 4 ppl, besides this hotel, they owned a farmland too

The garage of the hotel, located behind the hotel.

Another family beside the hotel, it must belongs to a local farmer. How sweet!

Happy New Year
May all your dreams come ture in the new year

This is the hotel! Taken from the front face of it. I lived on the third floor, facing towards the back direction.

This place is far from cities, we drove a long way here, but it was worthy. Green meadow, clean roads, fairy tale - like houses, zero-pollutions, kind local farmers...here u can feel the perfect harmony between human and nature.

sorry I should post first but i insist on posting them according to the sequence of time they were taken.
