| The most common words in this article are “beautiful” and “really nice”. Indeed the unspoiled beauty of the fjords and the little houses is so pleasant. Even the cities are touched by the relaxed attractiveness of the rural landscape. Capital of Finland and beautiful. A really relaxed city. Easy to walk around and the trams are good as well.

| A typical French breakfast with a glass of milk and Finetti, which is a typical product of Italy, and a promenade a l’Anglais on the narrow streets of Cannes, it’s indeed a vacation that one can only dream of… Just stop dreaming! It’s reality, it’s Cannes!!!

| "Turisti Americani" |

| “Scusi, do you speak English?” This is probably one of the most frequent questions that Americans pose while in Italy. It’s imperial for their vocabulary to include words like “scusi” and “grazie”. Still, quite a lot funny stories happen with those “turisti americani” willing to see the old world.

| “The main attraction in Pisa is the Tower. It is reportedly one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is 14.9 feet out of plumb in a height of 186 feet. The baptistery is also out of plumb, but not so much as to be an attraction.” Well, is it the Pisa tower a wonder of the world; and second, were they all drunken building everything out of plumb?

| “We were spoilt by the top conditions of the Austrian trains - clean, modern, well-equipped and spacious. From Innsbruck, we transferred to trains operated by the Italian railways and these trains were a complete opposite to the Austrian ones - dirty, old, poorly-equipped, cramped and smelly!” Welcome to see the other part of the awesome Italy!

| Out and about in Florence |

| Florence is quite a compact city, and it is actually quite easy to walk around the whole city. Just watch out for the local emergency services that seem to buzz around the city quite frequently. Or at least, they make their presence known quite loudly. Oh, Italians, they know how to make themselves noticed…:)

| Istanbul's population is about twelve million and growing, due to immigration from its troubled neighbor countries. Half of these twelve million people are carpet salesmen. Well, I wonder if the second Turk that I meet in Istanbul would try to sell me a carpet, I would probably run away from this country.

| eaching the casino you get to the part of Monaco where you can even smell the money. There's the casino, a luxurious hotel, the cafe de Paris and some luxurious shops. But you've to be 21 years to be allowed to go in. If you are not yet 21 visit the parking lot of the casino, you will surely not be disappointed by the collection of cars.

| The beautiful German landscape… under a dense curtain of rain and low gray clouds; no worry, not such a big deal for some experienced cyclists. The most important thing is to find a cozy place for lunch and pull over all the clothes that they have brought with them. It’s just a win-win situation – feel warm and ride with empty rucksacks.

| The Three Passes |

| “Most people do the Three Passes east to west, … we decided to do it west to east - though this also changes the walk from a 700m net descent to a 700m net ascent.” I am pro braking rules, and although it may cause some uncomfortable changes you may be proud that you’ve done things your own way (if anybody cares:)).
