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!”

Sunny side of Rhodes, Part One

Following the sun
Can be lots of fun
Blue skies, blue seas
As far as the eyes can see
Hike around the highlands
Spend your day shopping
On this little island
There simply is no stopping

Around London Town, Part One

Around and around we go
Where we end up no one knows
On the buses it is fun to ride
Even if on the wrong road side
