Philipp reported back! Woohoo, the travelling FED-2 is once again on its way!

The FED should be on its way, flown out of the country this morning to Switzerland. A friend from the university of Berne has taken it and agreed to send it on to Spyderman. I haven't heard from her yet, but in case there is a hassle I'll keep you updated, and in case there isn't we can just wait for it to arrive in Slovakia.

Glad to have gotten that off my heart finally! The new FED has already seen some adventure Given the considerable amount of time passed, I suggest in the future we should really follow up on Remy's suggestion and ask the next person via PM or e-mail before we send the camera on...

Yes, and here's a couple of pictures from the second roll

Pass the RF - part 3 - UPDATE

Yesterday, Phillip received the travelling FED-2 in Germany. Nick had sent it by priority mail and the Dutch Mail came through. :) The FED-2 has now crossed borders for the first time. And soon it'll cross even more borders to end up in Uzbekistan, where Phillip is taking it.

Because the box is too big to go in his luggage, Phillip kindly took some photos of the box. Why? When I was preparing the FED-2 to go travelling, I prepared a box for it as a little home. Of course, I still had to shoot the FED-2 myself, so I put the box to the side. When it was time to send the FED-2 on its way, I found the box missing! A box missing? Where did it go? Nowhere to be found, I finally asked my daughter (who's 9 by now and much bigger than the last time, Csab' :) ) if she knew the whereabouts of the box. She did, amazingly. She had used it as a bed or so for her Barbie dolls and toy bears. She had draw images on the in side of the box. I was a bit in a hurry, so I ended up sending the decorated and soon-to-be-abandoned box.

So, for posterity's sake, here are the final photos of the box and the drawings. :)
