I've finally finished off this project with a sampling of photos from our European tour. The photos deal primarily with literary sites, and most folks will know the abbreviations: FRWL = From Russia, With Love; FAVTAK = "From A View To A Kill"; TB = Thunderball; DIF = Death Is Forever; DMC = Devil May Care. I've also added a couple of photos from the films, and AVTAK obviously is "A View To A Kill." Finally, there's a selection of photos of the CBn team.

The photos can be viewed at http://home.comcast.net/~majortallon/

Photos representing a more balanced overview of the trip can be seen at the official site: http://www.themepartypeople.com/site/

Having seen a travelog about an italian Bond location trip from a very special Austrian Bond fan in May (the guy with the white Lotus S1 ) and watching the preparations of Orlandobond for your big Euro-tour this summer, I decided after a painful operation to have my own 66 hours for a Venice trip this summer. Although talked with Orlandobond we hadn't been able to met you guys on your tour because our son's holidays ended before you start your tour.

While overworking more than 3 000 pics this years from different trips I hope it will be o.k. for you if I post some of my pics after studying your intense Spectreclub file from your "Qperation EURO 2010"-tour.



Venice




"Canale della Misericordia", where the lovers' gondola is going after having beeing separated in "Moonraker"

By the way - you guys passed this brigde at your arrival by boat into the city (please look at your file pic: "Euro2010Part01Venice018")






The "Ca' Rezzonico ballroom", where Bond, M and the minister met Hugo Drax

I know how difficult it was to get an acceptable shot.






A small bridge near San Barnaba, where Bond spotted Vesper in "Casino Royale"

Morning without a single tourist in any shot, a real miracle! These are simply great photos.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Must have been the crack of dawn and no cruise ships in Italian waters!

The photos are indeed superb!

Now what's the latest on a 2011 destination???

[orlandobond]

Mr. Volante, you are aware of course, from the Parisian affair we worked togther, that SPECTRE has been investigating lairs of several of our key regional operatives for a field exercise in 2011, and they have expressed a desire to host us in their lairs . Fellow agents from our mission in Europe have been asked for their potential participation and they have responded positively, which makes moving forward with planning a reality. I too might be willing to open my home to the team as well for a swim and some clay trap shooting. More to come.

Crack of dawn indeed! If we would have stayed out an hour or two later, we could have seen Saint Mark's Square with no people too. Ah, but that would have also meant a few less Vespers so maybe we made the right call.

Again, great photos, photographer.

Goldfinger Furka Pass

Chantilly A View to a Kill race track

[Major Tallon]

Wonderful memories of what has to have been the best Bond trip ever! I particularly like that Furka Pass photo, taken by one of a group of passing motorcyclists who stopped to figure out what in the world we were all gawping at.

[Jeff007]

And who could forget 15 of us running off a bus to take a picture of a gas station (from Goldfinger) and then leave. Talk about confusing the public.
