Ah what a lovely scene, is he checking his hands? Must be hard on the skin!

Reply

bavaria April 15, 2012 at 6:56 am

Thank you! I think he might be… Either that or he has just burnt his hand lighting his fag! :)

The main touristy spots were hellish, but it didn’t take long to find some peace and quiet! I imagine he was, it’s not an easy job :)
