moif world update


I'm afraid I've been neglecting this blog of late as I'm fully engaged in writing up the next installment to my Takshendal game. These games are great fun, and give me ample excuse to follow obscure online paths in my ever eager quest to explore historical details to add spice to the role playing experience. The natural consequence of this is my neglect of my blog. Alas.

Currently I've been obsessing over Rennaisance cartography and Dutch herring busses, but I've also been side tracked by my latest purchase, Osprey's 'Rennaisance War Galley' which is a splendid book, concise but with no only deck plans I'm afraid. Deck plans would have made the whole thing perfect!
One thing the book does do well is clarify the seven main galley types of the period and I feel a blog post regarding these creeping up on me. I'm also feeling the urge to learn more about the Republic of Venice and I think that may be the subject of my next 'Amazon trawl'.

In the mean time, we have been out and about, but although the sun is shining brightly, we found the weather to be some what windy on when we biked out to Moesgaard with Freja and consequently, she has developed a sore throat.

...oh, and the image? Thats just my imagination running wild...

Public sex in a bus - rawr!

Actually, its a tram, which matters if your being 'romantic'. Busses are so common!

There are few cities with street cars here. The average American doesn't have the luxury of being romantic. =(

Alas, we don't have trams in Ã…rhus either any more, There has been talk of bringing them back, but I'll believe it when I see it. European unification means every thing has to be the same...

Only in my imagination do physically romantic trysts take place in tram cars.
