“When preparing to travel,
lay out all your clothes and all your money.
Then take half the clothes and twice the money.”
Susan Heller
Deplhi
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson
Vienna
When on a walkabout
On the city’s streets at night
Drawn towards the castle lights
Shining ever so bright
The past has its resonance
In the architecture with elegance
You may even glimpse an eminence
Roaming around the residence
Let the feelings of lavish
Your daily routine vanish
And enjoy a sip from a chalice
In the Schönbrunn Palace

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel
On the Streets of Vienna
Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya
You may not be as pretty as Sienna
Or even as hot as High Sierra
But we still love ‘ya
We really really love ‘ya
Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya
Your old town feel
Some of it real
The others can’t steal
Don’t worry,
We made that deal
Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart”
Confucius
Around the World in Black and White
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you need
On the small island of Greece

The old town
Considered the crown
The beach
At your reach

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart”

Of our history
Beyond the centuries

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
Enjoying the island life
Dancing to a flute or a fife
Whether a history buff
Or a hang loose beach bum
Rhodes is the place enough
To make you wanna hum

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.”
– Susan Sontag
Around the World in Black and White
Sailing the gorgeous lakes in Italy
Watching the clouds filling the sky to affinity…
…Sightseeing, travelling or shopping
There is no time for stopping
Around the wide wide world
Me and my camera are hurled
