From Africa Morocco, I board a ship going to Europe. I stop at Gibraltar ( a British overseas territory) to worship at the ‘altar’. After I board a bus, a long ride into Spain, saw the ‘aqueduct’ in Segovia. From Spain, another ride by bus I take into Portugal, and I watch a ‘bull-fight’ there in Portugal. From Portugal, I take a plane over to France, Paris, home of the sweet ancient wine that gladdens the heart. From France, I come down to Andorra by train. Andorra at the outskirt of Spain. Nothing much in Andorra, so I board the bus back to France and from France, a flight I take straight to Italy, Monaco. In Italy, I see the famous colosseum, in downtown Rome. I also visit the Vatican City to greet the Pope. I then take a train down to Sicily to view Mount Etna. From there, I’m on a ship down to Malta. Malta, that beautiful Island. From Malta, a plane I take over to Greece, Athens, place of the ancient temple Parthenon and the origin of the Great Olympia. On this journey, I’m alone running through Europe all in one pace. From Greece, I’m on a train ride to Macedonia, from Macedonia, I move on to Albania. In Albania, I see a statue of ‘Scanderbeg’, Albania’s national hero in Tirane. From Albania, I’m on a ship going to Croatia but I stop over at Bosnia-Herzegovina (Sarajero) to see the Mount Maglic. From there I continue to Croatia where I worship at the St.Stephen’s Cathedral close to the Zagreb market. I then take a boat down to Slovenia. In Slovenia, I heard the National Anthem, ‘Zdravljica’ (‘The Toast’). From Slovenia, I move on to Austria by the cross-country train and I visit charming old Vienna where I spend a day at the Vienna State Opera House. I then move to Liechteinstein. I visit the castle on the cliff, home of the Prince of Liechteinstein. From Liechteinstein, I’m on a train to Switzerland. In Switzerland, I go skiing on the snowy Swiss Alps. From Switzerland, I enter into Germany by bus and I’m first at the Brandenburg Gate in downtown Berlin and later I go to see the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria and I’m at the Rhine River the next day. What a very beautiful sight to behold! I’m really enjoying this trip and I want to share it with you. From Germany, I take a trans-train to Luxembourg. I spend little time at Luxembourg to see the Alzette River and the Petrusse River which run through the city. Leaving Luxembourg, I take a train to Belgium. I spend four days in Belgium visiting the Grand Place in Brussel’s main square, the Botrange Mountain, the Antwerp port along the Schelde River and I eat ‘carbonnaides’ and ‘water zooi’. I leave Belgium the fourth day and left for the Netherlands on ship. I spend five days on the North sea and I enter into the Netherlands. I visit Amsterdam’s Dam Square during a Queen’s Day celebration and later I’m in the Rijksmuseum also in Amsterdam to see Rembrandt’s painting ‘The Night Watch’. From the Netherlands, I board a plane straight to Denmark where I visit the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen and I spend the night lavishing in the exotic Tivoli Gardens. The next day I board a ship to Goteborg, Sweden. In Sweden, I visit the Gripsholm Castle, Swedish National Portrait Gallery. From Sweden, I’m in Norway by plane and I witness the ‘midnight sun’ at the North Cape on the shore of the Arctic ocean. From Norway I go to Iceland then to Finland traveling over the Norwegian sea, then I take a ship to Estonia. I leave Estonia to Latvia and then to Lithuania. Leaving Lithuania, I enter Belarus and I wait two nights at Minsk. From Belarus, I fly to Poland, Warsaw. From Poland, I go to the Czech Republic, walked on the Charles Bridge in Prague. From Prague, I take a train to Slovakia where I eat ‘bryndzove halusky’, then to Hungary and then I go to Yugoslavia. From Yugoslavia then to Bulgaria where I spend a night at the theater in Sofia. From Bulgaria I trip to Turkey, Istanbul and then I’m on a ship to Romania then to Moldova. From Moldova to Ukraine. And I stop at Russia for one week. I meet an old friend in Russia, we both left Russia on plane to Georgia where we ate chicken ‘tabaka’ and drank fine Georgia wine. I leave alone to Azerbaijan by bus where I had a boat ride on the Caspian sea and I eat a delicious rice dish called ‘pilaf’ and ‘bozatma’. I also buy a hand-woven rug to take home to my grannie who lives in East Asia. I fly away from Europe to Asia to meet my lover.
