A lot of intricate patterns. Great pictures (and probably memories). You must have to enough time to do it properly, rather than being hurridly hurried from point A to point B by some tour director, as we usually are.

Thanks, Dave. It seems you can never have ‘enough’ time to take the pictures you want, especially on a guided tour. There were so many ‘ooh’ opportunities that went by, and times when I deliberately took in the sights in my mind without having the camera stuck on my face.
