3D visit to Monnickendam - The Netherlands
3D HD visit to Monnickendam - The Netherlands. Monnickendam (usually Monnikendam in English) is a city in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Waterland, and lies on the coast of the IJsselmeer, about 8 km southeast of Purmerend. It received city rights in 1355 and suffered a lot of damage during the fires of 1500 and 1513. The town still harbours a lot of historical buildings together with a nice little harbor.

Cairo Travel
Cairo Travel - Cairo (pronounced KY-roh ; Arabic: القاهرة al-Qāhirah ) is the capital of Egypt and, with a total population of Greater Cairo metropolitan area in excess of 16 million people, one of the largest cities in both Africa and the Middle East (the regions which it conveniently straddles). It is also the 19th largest city in the world, and among the world's most densely populated cities.
On the Nile river, Cairo is famous for its own history, preserved in the fabulous medieval Islamic city and Coptic sites in Old Cairo. The Egyptian Museum in the city centre is a must see, with its countless Ancient Egyptian artefacts, as is shopping at the Khan al-Khalili bazaar. No trip to Cairo would be complete without a visit to the Giza Pyramids and to the nearby Saqqara Pyramid Complex, where visitors will see Egypt's first step pyramid built by the architect Imhotep for the third dynasty pharaoh Djoser.
Though firmly attached to the past, Cairo is also home to a vibrant modern society. The Midan Tahrir area situated in downtown Cairo, built in the 19th century under the rule of Khedive Ismail, has strived to be a Paris on the Nile. There also are a number of more modern suburbs including Ma'adi and Heliopolis, while Zamalek is a quiet area on Gezira Island, with upmarket shopping. Cairo is best in the fall or spring, when the weather isn't so hot. A felucca ride on the Nile is a good way to escape from the busy city, as is a visit to Al-Azhar Park.
Since the revolution in 2011 and the ongoing counter-revolution, tourists have fled Cairo to a large extent. This has created an opportunity for unique experiences of Cairo's and Egypt's cultural treasures without the crowds. Finding yourself alone inside a pyramid is now a real possibility. Prices are also lower.
Enjoy Your Cairo Travel!

Bicycle trip - Zeist - Driebergen - Doorn and vice versa
This is the bicycle trip of 2010.12.20. The temperature outside was -6 degrees C. The route started at the Schaerweijdelaan in Zeist following the Utrechtseweg (00:00:05) and then the Driebergseweg (00:05:00) in the direction of the Driebergen - Zeist train station (00:13:00). After the DZ station the route was along the Hoofdstraat, passing under Highway A12 (00:15:55) towards Driebergen. Then onwards to Doorn following the Driebergsestraatweg (00:30:00), and just before reaching the center I decided it was time to turn around and via the Berkenstraat (00:38:37) I took the Oude Arnhemse Bovenweg (00:41:25) and followed this road all the way back via Driebergen to Zeist. The last bit of the trip lead through the city center of Zeist (2e Hogeweg (01:14:15), 1e Hogeweg (01:15:38), Oude Arnhemseweg (01:16:55). The video ends near the de Genestetlaan (01:20:50).
The conditions of the cycle lanes are a mixed bag. In some places it is fairly good, in some it is really bad and bumpy. What I don't understand is why often the left side of the lane is better than the right side of the lane. In NL we ride on the right hand side of the road, and a lot of the bicycle lanes had only one direction.
Zeist really could do better in the direct vicinity of the train station. And Driebergen could do better in the cleaning of the cycle lane of the Arnhemse Bovenweg in the direction Zeist.
And oh, the short breaks in the video are because the camera that I have can only save files that are about 2Gb in size, which comes down to 8 minutes 20 s of video.
Although the videos were shot at 1280x720, the maximum that works is 480 at the moment. I don't know why it doesn't work. YT, is it still processing?
