World Wide Wednesday in Greece in Black and White

Travelling around the island
In the colours of black and white
What could be more inspiring
Or feeling more right

From dawn till dusk
Without any effort or fuss
Just hop on a bus
Tour around the island is must

A Trip To Helsinki City (Sightseeing and Walkabout) One

Helsinki, the little town in the middle of nowhere, called Finland. You may have heard of it?

The place where all Finns dress in jumpsuits all year long and polar bears roam the streets. Penguins and other arctic dwellers are as familiar house pets as a cat or a dog. These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee. They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods. They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond. In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna, where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat. Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.

Yes, you know who they are! Welcome to Hell-sinki!

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Mallorca Part Three, Odds and Ends

Taking a ride on a train
On this island of Spain
Driving down a narrow lane
Watching the local terrain
Sun is shining, no rain
Sipping on champagne
Feeling very entertained
Passing the mountain chain
And the flattest of plains
There is nothing mundane
About this trip across the domain
