Travel in… 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

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving” Lao Tzu

On the Left Wing Side, Part Three

A few moments standing
Preparing for landing
On the speaker out loud
A soothing voice to the crowd:

“Thank you for flying Finnair
Enjoy your stay and
Please come again”

On the Left Wing Side, Part Two

In this metal cocoon
Only us human buffoons
Can enjoy our winged journey
Even if scared
Then tied to a gurney
The flight attendant leered

Above the clouds
Nightfall with darkness
Spread like a shroud
Late at night
In mid flight
Safe and sound
Into a tiny seat bound…

A great way to learn about your country is to leave it.” Henry Rollins

Travel in London, Rhodes, Verbania and Helsinki

Travelling through foreign lands reminds me of travelling through times. The history present no matter where you go. Ancient buildings and monuments, whispering their secrets of ages past, reminding us, we are not here to last.

Welcome to up North
Where the polar bears roam…

No wait! Wrong intro! Let’s try again…

Welcome, to the city that never sleeps
Well, actually, we like to go to bed really early….

Ok, one more time:

Welcome to Helsinki!
A quaint little town up North
I am sure you will enjoy!

That’s it?
Yes, what’s wrong?
Nothing, sounds a little dull…
Well, let’s let the travellers decide!

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu

When in Verbania

When in Rome
Do as the Romans do
When in Verbania
Hoist the sails
Follow the trails
And shout out “Virata!”
